Thread: Home 500 Speed ?

From last 5 days, I am getting Max 150KBps speed, before that it was 200-230KBps...

What is the reason of this low speed ?

is this through torrents?

There are highs and lows in all feilds ....after all its all distributed network which cannot promiss high speeds all the time due to lot many factors...

it also depends on from which server you are downloading your file

But utorrent client showing Green sign ?...but..when I check..shows...port not forward

that normally means its port forwarded.. try with some really good torrents with a large number of seeds

I tried torrent with good no. of seeders....but still ...speed not crossing 180kBps....

I am assuming that you are trying to say 180KB/s(usually speed is shown in KB/s in torrents) which means 1440 Kbps....isn't that enough ........what are you expecting from a 2Mbps line.... to give you 250KB/s huh??

absoluetly.. 1.5mbps is quite good from a 2mbps line.. if you club 4 to 5 torrents you may reach 2mbps.. or more..

Ya...I start 5-6 torrents simultaneously....but still.....same speed..(180KB/s)
Is there any change (settings) for utorrent....?

u can try enabling protocol encryption in utorrent's options->preferences->bittorrent... i keep it forced...
another imp. point is that a single line of bsnl's 2MBps connection has share ratio of 1:50... that means there r other 49 users sharin ur connection... ur speed drop from 220 to 180 might b due to increase in other users(who share ur connection) downloadin large files in ur area...thats y i get speed around 250-300KBps durin day-time coz no user can afford to d/l large files then... and i get d/l speed as low as 100-150 KBps durin night unlimited hours... i guess thr r loads of user downloadin huge data then in my area.... finally, i wud advice u to stay content wid wot u r gettin now... coz 180KBps isnt too bad...hehe
