[font=Verdana] Im using uTorrent on my vista here but im only getting 10kBps
(MAX)
i'v forwarded a port in the correct range, im using peer guardian II and i'v seen my computer reach speeds excess of 500kbps (or kB, not sure)
i think my internet company is capping my dl speed but what can i do?
any replies appreciated,
cheers

how many seeds/peers does the torrent have? are you allowing the torrent to upload?

um the one im (about to) download has 68 peers and 68 seeds just under 'DHT' whatever that is lol
and yes im allowing to upload
thanks for replying!

what ports are you using some isps throttle bittorrent ports

Have you actually done the uTorrent port forwarding test?

Also, if the ISP is capping p2p traffic, there is an option to encrypt data, which should hopefully speed it up (IIRC)

Thanks for giving us almost no information to work with.

Cap your upload at about 80% of your maximum upload capacity, and try enabling encryption.
