Thread: File Storage Site Problem!

Hey Guys.......i'm having a prob with file storage site like rapidshare, hotfile and megaupload.......i have a 1 Mbps unlimited plan....in the above mentioned sites i get pathetic speeds like 5 KB/sec to 10 KB/sec......while on torrents i get 123 KB/sec.........What seems to be the problem?........i scanned my PC for viruses and cleared temp internet files, cookies etc...........plz help guys!!!

exclude these website from the anti virus...

1. Changing DNS may help. 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220

2. Go to speedtest.net, perform a speed test and post the forum link here.

3. Post you device status page.

4. Disable your firewall and try.

there isn't any such option in my anti virus.........i use microsoft security essentials.......any other ideas?

ok i'll try that!

for example if you are using avast anti virus program..

then do this..

Use Google`s DNS:

8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

there is no web shield or related option in my anti virus
n i'm using google's DNS only!!!!!

My Speedtest Results!

My Device Status Page n ADSL page.......any ideas?
n i tried disabling the firewall......but no improvement in speed!

Speed test result seems to be fine. Did you checked your firewall. Disable Microsoft security essentials for some time and try. It must be some antivirus suit that is blocking the connection. Check the upstream and downstream rates in modem menu.

Tried disabling that too......no difference!!

which browser are you using??

use ff or opera and try!?

im using firefox.......same results for safari n IE8!!

lol.............

try this on your ff may help

try this on your ff may help

Try TCP/IP optimizer from speedguide.net

If you are in Mumbai go to MTNL website. and check your Usage Information..Your upload Volume/ Download Volume
Your upload information should not be more than 2% of your downloaded MB

If you are not uploading anything, but your upload is too high then you have a problem

Is your Java up todate, it could be Corrupted.

Go to Add and Remove and check how many java proggies are there.Only the latest version should be installed

How many Firefox extensions have you installed , kindly name them

My upload usage is 3000mb while my download usage is 23000mb......its clearly more than 2%......y is that a problem??........n i have only the latest java program installed!

its a problem with the any of these

1: broswer java/flash/script settings change settings to unlimited from preset 100kbs.(to do this right click for options, scroll in the options and you will get storage change it to unlimited).

2. dns settings, change to any of the free ones.

3. your ip maybe in the server's blacklist, use proxies.

4. anti-virus webshield scanning the file, making it slow. Change settings, exclude particular url for some time.

5. kya ginti gin rahe ho?? go and ask your customer care..

The huge upload may be due to your torrents. However you should check your upload only when you are downloading from RS, Deposit etc. Log off the net reconnect and start downloading a file say about 100 MB from RS, during this time don't surf the net or upload anything,once its done disconnect and then check your upload for that particular time period .

Which extensions are you using, is your windows up to date ?

Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited Mumbai, A Government Of India Enterprise >>>>Broadband >>> Go down to Check usage
Email reg >>> Enter your Login details >>>Customer Web Care should open >>>Click on Usage Information >>>Select the range say from 1st Feb till 24th Feb >>> Voila the 8th Column is Upload Volume MB, 9th is Download Volume MB

The upload Volume data is as important, as you can judge what is being uploaded from your computer, with or without your knowledge

Thanks a lot for this info, till now I never knew how to check it.
