    Question Need help with torrent speeds

    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

    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??
