I've recently switched over to utorrent from Azureus and quite like it now, except for one problem.
It only ever seems to download at 30k/s max no matter what. At first I thought maybe it was the torrents I've been downloading but I'm fairly sure it's limiting it now.
I've checked the obvious settings and it should be set at unlimited download speed with the upload rate at 5k/s (same settings as I had with azureus), same port number as I used with azureus too.

Any ideas?
 
5k is a little low for upload speed, try 10-15k/sec, are you getting the geen signal on the bottom takbar of utorrent? Have you turned encryption on incase your ISP is limiting P2P....a la pipex ?
 
My ISP isn't limiting it, it would have affected azureus if so and azureus always maxed out my download speed.
I don't really want to up the upload speed as I've always used 5k/s.
Get the green light everytime so the port's definitely open :)
 
Double click the green icon, a window will open up then test if port is opened. I had the green icon but the test showed port was closed. I now use UPNP auto porting as that seems to work rather than manual (which didn't) I use utorrent and getting 85kps download.
 
I put the settings back to normal, encryption - disabled, allowing incoming legacy connections - yes - back to top speeds now.
 
Think I might end up going back to Azureus, less hassle and I know it works fine :p
 
Yeah i'm using azureus after these downlaods are done, as i've done 88% of a file in utorrent and azureus doesnt pick it up :/, just starts afresh.
 
if you limit your upload speeds, then Utorrent caps your download speed.
If you do it manually for each torrent, ie right clicking on it in the Utorrent window, then setting an upload limit, it doesn't do this

Yeah you should allow full upload speed, if you're a leecher and not a seeder download speed is restricted. That's good as it rewards those who seed with faster download speeds, to those who don't. :)
 
I'll stick to Azureus then. My upload speed is too important for me as the connection's shared and I do a fair bit of uploading onto webspace etc throughout the day.
Much rather be in proper control which Azureus offers me.
 
Had similar issues, jumped to utorrent and set it all up but noticed downloads just werent happening/installed Bitlord and downloads jumped instantly.

Aint even gonna touch it lol

But I have noticed if u got routers u gotta add new rules and make sure the ports are fully open, and u gotta reapply that XP SP2 TCP fix every single time u do a windows update ! And bewarned sometimes windows does the update behind your back and then limits your connections again !

I find XP antispy tool best to enable Max incoming connections which will bring back your torrent/edk/p2p speeds.

Hmm I use utorrent and cap my upload speed, yet I can max out my 2Mb connection and download at over 200kB/sec. Capping your upload speed is good practice on p2p clients, so long as you don't set it too low.
