Thread: help me in download speed ...

hi frnds..

i got into BSNL Broadband 750 plan yesterday..
i started downloading NFS Carbon from a torrent using LimeWire..
i am getting a download speed of only 15kBps ...
i think this is very low... where is the problem ??
and can u suggest me the best torrent downloader..
and one more thing is that.. if i use UTorrent... i am getting the max download speed of only 12kBps... with any connection its being sealed at 12kBps..
plz help me in this..

thnx in advance..

well brother i dont know if u realised towards the bottom of the utorrent u should see a connection with a tick in green colour indicating the result of ur connection and if ur confused about what im talkin then in utorrent select Option->speed guide... and check if ur port is forwarded properly by ur modem... i think ur modem is a SL2_141?

oh yeah and please dont use limewire for torrents.it sucks bigtime even if ur port is forwarded properly. i personally hate that software.

thnx frnd..
yea.. i went through the speed giude...
and got the problem fixed.... now the download speed in good at 40kBps...
but, i have another...
whats this port forwarding ????
where do I get the exact information ?
I am using LINKSYS WAG200G Wireless Gateway ...

and one more thing ????
do I need to seal my upload speed ????
does the upload speed effect the download speed ???
i mean... i am not getting 24kBps upload speed...
now if i seal it to 10kBps... can i get a better download speed ???

i will help u out later if i get a chance or lese u can pm me

if you see the green tick mark, then no need of port forwarding..also if you use a dialer(bridged mode) then too no need of port forwarding in router.. but if you are in ppoe mode then Port Forwarding for the Linksys WAG200G

hi superprash2003...
i have some serious doubts regarding this port forwarding...
i am not getting that green ... i am getting that yellow triangle only..
can u gimme ur yahoo or gmail id ??? so that i can personally ask u abt this.. ???

i would really appreciate it if you could ask your doubts and get it solved here.. because there are lot of experts here who gives really good solutions..also this would be a good reference for other people who are facing a similar problem!!

ok..
i have a BSNL Broadband 750...
and also a Local Broadband which is not very reliable... but good speed torrents will have around 150 - 200kBps... so.. i am using that for torrents in the night..
i have gone through the port forwarding issue... it says me to gimme some ip address, subnet, DNS and gateway... i understand all the issues..
but for the local broadband I am using, there are already all those setting given...
now, when i come to the main page of this port forwarding.., it asks ip address starting with 192.168.__.__

but the IP address i am already working with starts with 10.20.20.__

What should I do now... can u port forward this local broadband also ???

well yes there is another option which u can use though i dont know for sure if it will work and even if it does then it only does for sometime that is until u are downoading and not shutdown utorrent.

like it so happened to me with the local broadband as well, when sometimes it showed me green and sometimes yellow thats bcos if the option to randomize ports each time utorrent starts up is not selected in utorrent then u will be left with one port over and over again which inturn is obviously blocked.

so...
can i get better speeds with port forwarding even in the private broadband ????
or.. is this only for BSNL Broadband ???

i think its only for adsl connections which require modems to be used then the port forwarding can be done from ur end otherwise no prt forwarding is possible incase its direct cable broadband
