Hi guys am using flash 384 plan which gives 1.5mbps at night.
Nothing much to complain about the download speed though i always get 1.5mbps or more after 10pm everyday when I am using direct downloads from some websites or file hosting sites like rapidshare.
But the problem is with torrents during the night.During the day the torrents work superb giving me like 50-60 KB/sec download speed which is more than my usual day time speed but usually during the evening my speed goes down in torrents max speed i get is 20KB/sec and the ports get blocked for some reason ( I see the Huge red dot thingy at the bottom of the utorrent page )
I need some help with unblocking the darn Utorrent ports.


Things I tried already:
1: Disabling firewall/allowing the currently used port by utorrent through firewall.
2: Allowing utorrent through my antivirus.
3: I even removed antivirus for like 3 days just thinking it might help but didnt solve nything
4: Started like 10 torrent downloads at a time ones with many seeds hoping to get a decent speeed but didnt work
5: Formatted my laptop once (last resort)

Now am totally out of ny more ideas on what to do.

Little more info that might help:
OS: Windows 7
Antivirus: Kaspersky(windows7 version)
IP:dynamic
SpeedPlan:Flash384
Modem:None
Router: The telsima one which they install on top of ma building

try utorrent 2.0 beta, they added some UDP based support, which supposed work great with dynamic IPs of tata wimax. this should give you good speeds. With flash 384 plan you will get non-static IP, for which ports cannot be open. So you cannot avoid that red icon in Utorrent until u move to a plan with static IP. but utorrent 2.0 udp support should give u better speeds even with ports closed. check below thread and get utorrent 2.0

didnt help much bro still the same 20KB/sec during night

i wasn't even 24 hrs buddy, how did u test ? any screenshots of peers window

saikrishna07

well i am already using that version

i actually tested upload capability of bitcomet, bittornodo, ares, bitspirit and utorrent with ports closed in NAT, only utorrent 2.0 was able to upload to other utorrent 1.8.3+ clients with UDP based protocol. When your client is not uploading, your download speed will automatically gets slows down. thats how bittorrent protocol is designed. So your download speed depends on the torrents you are downloading, if you have many seeders or peers with utorrent, then u will get good download speed.

i think you have below options
1) get a plan with static ip
2) use a service like torrelay.com
3) try ssh based portwarding , you will need a access to a remote public ssh server

Thinking of static ip but cant afford it for now
well now that u say i never really did seed ny torrents since i usually play DoTA on garena while downloading on utorrent and since i need the upload speed for hosting always kept upload speed at 5KB/sec lol
Well ill try seeding a bit more now i guess
Oh and btw can u resume the torrent on torrelay.com just like in normal utorrent clients??

merc782

yes.. torrelay has all features, but it now got paid service, earlier they use to let torrents upto size of 800mb free
