Thread: download speed problem with u torrent

For the last few days i am not getting good speed with u torrent.Though the port is forwarded (green light is shown on the task bar, which means connection is ok),but still getting 40-50 kb/s .This problem has started occurring after i formatted my computer, before that i used to get 200-250 kb/s speed. It is not that i am downloading torrents with less seeds, the torrent i am downloading contains large number of seeds. so please help me & please someone tell me how much speed i must allocate for uploading.

a) Try applying the TCPIP.sys patch. Google it, download it and apply it. Change max half open connections settings (Advanced setting) in uTorrent to 50.
b) Your firewall may be blocking peer-to-peer connections. Enable uTorrent in your firewall.
c) Try upgrading to uTorrent 1.8. It may also help.

how much download speed do u get? i am using 500 c plan.

try private trackers such as idesir demonoid

In the mean time check this out. Especially the SNR Margin

mode should be G.dmt not ADSL2+.

Can I change it? & how? Please guide.

This is my current setting, what should be checked & what unchecked?

In case of limited usage plans, BSNL promises a minium speed of 256 kbps (32 KB/s) but usually much more than that. The maximum speed that will be provided will be 2 mbps (256 KB/s).

Many people expect that they should get 2 mbps by right. That is not so.

BSNL is not cheating you. They are giving you what they are saying and promising. So I do not know why you say "BSNL Sucks".

another thing is for most broadband isp, they all mention "Upto". They never mentioned Below or Above or Exact. They Even mention on the paper... or websites... "Speeds are subject to "Technical Feasibility"


Therefore always read rules and regulations and query if u do not follow.

As per TRAI regulation, a BB connection must promise and deliver at least 256 kbps.

uncheck all except G.dmt,bitswap & AnnexL.

Hi Whitestar,

i'm using this D-link ADSL2 - GLB-502T modem. after logging into 192.168.1.1 page, i cudn't find where to change these SNR and Attenuation figures.

At testing the speed at Speedtest.net, it shows the Download at 1368kbps and Upload at 252kbps.

http : // ww w . speedtest . net/result/319138468.png

have seen few ppl getting the downlaod upto 2100's kbps...

plz let know how can i change the dsl settings for my D-link modem.


after logging into 192.198.1.1 page, under the status tab, in Modem status tab, i get the following figures:

Before this plan i was having home 500 yaar but after changing to the 750 unlimited my spped isreallly slowww like tortoise...or like normal dial up connection

speed is 256kbps(32KBps max) in 750 plan.didn't you read the plan details before applying for change?

It not about optimizing torrent client.Its about getting low speed at 2am to 8am in BSNL Home 500 plan(chennai).I usually shedule my download and i will get low speeds.but previous month I have 450 mb left so I completed sixth sense movie speed stabilized at around 190 kbps after ten minute upto 3 minutes before completion. I was suprised so I decided to test.I download same file at 2am asked my friend who has tata indicom to download it.I recieved 40 but he 200.
I checked speed in dap its 213kbps. what is the real problem. Is BSNL supressing P2P networks what done in USA and other countries. How to overcome this (encrypt option in utorrent failed)

To the best of my knowledge no ISP is suppressing speeds for Torrent

In U.S Comcast got busted by Consumer forum for suppressing torrents ....


Check this site for details about suppressing torrents and other p2p N/W

To my knowledge, BSNL Sleuths don't suppress Torrents, hope they know what torrents are , atleast!.

BSNL slueths are located at NIB, Bangalore and they are quite competent people out there. Only the NIB servers can block torrents and trust me, if BSNL wanted to block P2P protocol, it is damn easy and the guys in Bangalore can do that if they decide on such a policy. But they are not doing that.

Torrents work on P2P protocol and there should be be seeds willing to share. And then, a torrent is downloaded in pieces. Even if there are seeds there must be a seed that has the piece that you require. Even if you are a willing seed, the tracker decides who are the seeds to a particular connection.

Hell no, I assume, they do torrents too!!

thats toooo bad,mine is good around 40kbps but loads pages fast

Have u tried escalating the problem to the next higher level BSNL office by physically going and lodging a written complaint?

Indeed my gprs net opens pages faster.

BSNL capping our speeds @night in Pune.

plan: home 500
between 2AM to 8AM I get max average speed of 170kB/sec in uTorrent.
the torrent I tested had above had "200(10000)" seeds. The speed tries to go above 190kB/sec but is suddenly pushed down. This happens after regular intervals...leading to a "up-down graph" in the speed tab(5sec interval).

when I try the same torrent in morning the speed reaches 230kB/sec directly...like a big jump in the graph.

I thought I was being paranoid...but testing this for a few days, showed same results.

BSNL is robbing me of my bandwidth...almost 1.2GBs per night.
@beginning...i used to easily download 4.2 GB per night.

but the good thing is that...now I know bsnl people are not dumb as people think they are.

I do not think BSNL is doing anything. It is just that too many users are connected and using the same pipe. Remember that the pipe has 1:50 contention ratio.
