Hello to all,

Its been more than a month i have BSNL UL 1350 Package.

Inititially there was frequent disconnection problem. But, it was resolved by the line man.

But today, the net is Slow. But strange thing is. If i open some sites they are slow. Like this site is slow. But if i open ibnlive.com it is opening fast.

Also i stopped all browsers and then opened mtorrent. and started one torrent download. It is reaching 60 KB/sec whichi is good.

But most of the sites are very slow. What could be the reason?

How do i find the proble and solve it?

Start > run > cmd > ipconfig/all , please post the screen shots.

Mention your modem - model and make

plz explain how to check it is good torrent or not?????????

and i get only 30-40kBps in both day and night time in direct downloads...........

Why??

1) Check if your port is forwarded properly. You can search the forums for guides and tips regarding this.

2) Make sure that you get a torrent with a good seed to peer ratio.

Always look for torrents with the best seed/peer ratio. The more seeds (compared to peers) the better (in general). So 50 seeds and 50 peers is better than 500 seeds and 1000 peers. So, be selective.

3) And there are many more things you can do. Just search our forums. There are lots of threads dealing with this.

check whether port is forwarded properly and the important thing is get a torrent with maximum peers and seeds, to have fast dloads

hey is there someone to help me i am getting very low downloading speed
i.e 4-5kbps. i used to get atleast 150-160 kbps speed in starting of my plan can any one tell me the reason for this sudden change in download speed?



I live in bhandara ,near nagpur
mahrashtara

There were reports of low speed during the beginning of the month. Please specify when the speed drop occurs. While NU or always. I hope you have done port forwarding for the torrent client.

Have you changed your plan to Home 750 U/L/ ?

Please mention modem make/model always in your post.

check speed at speedtest.net Mumbai server
and post the link as
hxxp://speedtest.net /xxxxxxxx.jpg

now speed is normal 33 kbps actualy its my window prob

anyway glad to know that your issue is resolved..!

download a file from a website.. post a screenshot of the file transfer rate.. post the same link of the file you downloaded here.. and we can compare the results..

@jon08, What are you trying to say?

im getting low speed in utorrent, it spikes to 150kbps fr 6-7secs and subsides to 52kbps, y so??

my settings are
port used is 11124
global conenctions - 600
max conn. per torrent - 100
upload slots 15
encryption enabled

firewall is disabled

ive also applied the max half open patch, settings current set to 50

what could i be doing wrong?

Buddy torrent speed will vary depending on the number of seeders present (assuming that you know how torrent works i am troubleshooting other things)

First check if that port is forwarded or not (can use portforward.com)
confirm the download speed by downloading directly from the Microsoft.com (anything just to check)
If you are getting the full speed ie 220+ kBps then your line is ok and there is problem with utorrent configuration only.

you can refer here for the total configuration

try downloading a UBUNTU torrent and check out speeds..

Torrent speeds depend mainly on

1. Good torrent - No. of seeds, leechers, tracker, share ratio etc

Solution - Select a different torrent.

2. Ability to accept connections -

Solution : Port forwarding.

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.

What's NIB ?

Is it Network Interface Backbone ?

National Internet Backbone (NIB)

Hear Is My Speed

@meetdilip

What does this mean ? Contention ratio is 1:50 how will it affect the speed.

faq31.
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd.

What is contention or a contention ratio?
To provide a cost effective service -
all ADSL services are contended (shared).
These contention ratios are applied in the backbone
and international part of the network.
A commonly applied contention rate is 50 : 1.

All customers are guaranteed the plan rate up to
the local exchange or the ADSL equipment to which
they are connected.

On the shared part of the network a 50:1 contention ratio
would mean
that a 2 Mbps connection would be shared by 49 others.

In reality this is very unlikely to happen and the customer
would find the connection much faster than dial-up modems.
ADSL relies on individual users not making unreasonable traffic
demands on the network to provide fast access speeds for all.

If you are not getting the speed you expect,
it can be due to the contention ratio but also to many other
factors including the congestion at the remote site you are accessing.
