| Slow downloads on torrents I am using uTorrent but every file I download using it is really slow usually 5kbs. I have forwarded to port for this program and I have a 1mb connection and my PC is running on Windows XP SP2. Can anyone tell why it is so slow |

| Re: Slow downloads on torrents What have you set your download & upload limits to? What firewall are you using & have you opened up the port so that you get the nice green tick showing? I've only just started using utorrent & on my 2mb line I can get 200kbs. |

http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=182998 I've tried all the suggestions other people made but to no avail. My download sppeds did improve slightly but not with the kind of speeds I was expecting. You might want to have a good look through the above thread and try some of the things suggested there. | |

| Re: Slow downloads on torrents i`ve used and it is far better than alot of the clients that i`ve used.if you have a modem you need to configure the firewall on it.also depending on your ip they may not allow you to download from such a program.go to utorrent site and you`ll find some help there on most issues. |

| Re: Slow downloads on torrents The tracker/s you are using will also play a part, torrents from public trackers are crap and you will very rarely get good speeds, try and find some private trackers that have plenty of seeds for whatever you want. |

| Re: Slow downloads on torrents My dsl modem guide was way outdated, but I stumbled thru it anyway forwarding a port, the only problem I now have is utorrent will suck up every kb available after enough time, which is what I wanted, till I realized surfing's a bithc. Duh!
