uTorrent Problem

[m0r94n]

Trying to download some game demos via torrent (net in halls is rubbish, cuts out every few hours or so). Anyway, im getting 0kbs on my download and upload speeds. Im willing to bet the landlords have blocked certain ports cause theyre idiots. If they used the obscene amount of money im paying them to improve the internet, I wouldnt need to torrent.

Anyway, im rambling. Does anyone know of any port numbers that should get me downloading again, or of any ways around this?

Cheers

what type of accommodation are you in? someone else is probably nailing the net with limewire or something if its going slow

ask your landlord to sort it out if they know what they're doing

Have done many a time, unfortunatly the staff consists mainly of people who look like they have little to no experience when it comes to "the internet".

192.168.1.1 (type that in the address bar in ie or firefox and see what comes up )

Nothing, times out every time I try.

cmd
ipconfig /all, and post the results here

Couldnt be bothered to type it all out so ive uploaded an image to here .

Large halls, Pavilions in Lincoln to be precise, its a privately owned thingy. Generally id blame the fact its large halls on the slow speeds, but I can usually torrent at any time of the day at around 60kbs, however in the past few days ive been getting nothing.

The other annoying thing is that theres more people in the Student Village up here and theyre getting awesome speeds, pings of around 5 in CS (40-50 here ) and download speeds of well over 150kbs.

oh no someone else trying to download in the pavilions

Yep

the student village uses the uni's net connection, although some people are able to file share they do not have access to game from their rooms on the internet as far as i know

Most filesharings been outlawed there now, and they can game there as im usually on CS or DOD with members of my clan who live in the village.

Update time: I now get about 5 minutes of downloading around 10kbs, but then the download just abruptly cuts out. The file has got the little red down arrow next to it so I assume the connections gone sour or something.

Im probably clutching at straws still but are there any solutions?

Ill admit I also use the program for TV related purposes and its killing me that I cant watch the new episode of 24!!

15000 seeds in the swarm, 0 connected. I dunno why its being so rubbish all of a sudden, if it is a tracker problem how would I go about fixing it?

 

[m0r94n]

Ill try the proxy method.

I know that recently the landlords have been carrying out "maintainance" on the network so they may have started filtering the traffic, cheers for the help.
