uTorrent is limited to 30KBs DL

[J1mmy]

My uTorrent application appears to be limited to a download speed of 30 KB/s. I thought at first it was just for one occasion, but it's not, it doesn't move any higher than 30.

I have checked out the preferences to ensure that there are no limits on the download speeds, everything is set to unlimited, still no sign of improvement.

However, in the application window, at the bottom, it does say 'Download Limited' - I'm not quite sure what this means, as there are no limits within the options.

Try setting a lower limit on upload & see if the download increases.

I seem to recall reading that some ISPs are setting limits on torrent bandwidth, but I don't see how they can tell the difference in the traffic.

Tried that, still remains the same.

Yes, they are restricting bandwidth, though, there is an option in uTorrent which allows the connection to be encrypted, so that should bypass that. I highly doubt my ISP is restricting torrent traffic.

seems like I had a similar problem until i forwarded the ports on my router.

Have you checked that its not limited in the options paga at 30? Mine works at full speed at the time if I use 0 in download section.

Does forwarding a new port in the router setup and on the application make any difference?

Hopefully this will put a light into your issue...

forward the whole port range, see if that helps. Also, get a new torrent engine.
