Thread: Download Speed

HI Guys
I have just taken mtnl broadband and i am trying to use u torrent to download some files. As i am not getting the green icon at the bottom it shows there is some problem with the network.
Also when i try to check if the port is forwarded correctly it shows nothing.Can anybody tell me how to get it done i am using a mtnl ut-300r2u modem.


Thanks guys

check your windoes firewall and av firewall.allow utorrent as an exception in both.

Try disabling UPnP port mapping and NAT-PMP port mapping in the utorrent preferences. U can find the above mentioned under Connections tab in utorrent 1.8.1

Hi guys i am using avira firewall and i have added the exception to it but doesn't seem to help much.So now i am stuck with the port forwarding thing and as i am trying to get it with help from portforward.com if somebody has already done it and can give me a walkthrough it would be great.

Thanks once again for all your help

Have u tried the steps outlined in portforward.com?

Port Forwarding for the UTStarcom UT-300R2v2

Port Forwarding for the UTStarcom UT-300R2U

Try downloading from private tracker they give speed ;

On public tracker u can expect 40-210KB/s speed.

Refer portforwarding[dot]com for forwarding port.Bwt

For temp Boost put port as 80 and check speed
80 is your browser port ...

his problem iss not related with speed here i think

Hey Guys

Thanks for your help , i have used port forward to do it on the router and now as i can see its sorted .
Just one more thing that i was wondering , when mtnl says they are giving you 256 kbps unlimited does it mean that is the maximum you will get or is it supposed to be the minimum download speed with maximum being something else.

Thanks once again guys for your help

this is what i know -> if they say they are providing 256kbps and not UPTO 256kbps, your average speed should be 256kbps or a bit more/less over a period of time. this can be tested in case of downloads. the max speed at any given moment may cross 256 kbps. but the average remains 256. but if its an UPTO 256kbps connection - then nothing can be said. i got exactly this thing clarified with tata indicom customer care about a year ago when i faced some speed problems for a few days.
