Problem with uTorrent

Right, I have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router that I use and I have already forwarded the ports. I should be able to get the best speed off of a torrent that has 1400 seeds and only 50 leeches, but no, I only have a speed of 30kb/s compared to 235kb/s normally through IDM via Rapidshare. I have a static IP address that I have setup, and it’s properly forwarded. Any insight?
Answer #1
You might need to forward through your modem as well. Are you using public or private torrents?
Answer #2
Well, both actually, the one with 1400 seeds is from TPB, and I get other torrents from Demonoid. Why would that change anything?
Answer #3
make sure the green light on the bottom right of the program is showing. if the color is red or orange, there might be an issue.

Because public torrents are ~love~. Don’t expect anything near good speeds with them.
Answer #5
Right. It’s a little triangle with a “!” in it, I still get connection just it’s not great.
Answer #6
TPB is crap for speeds because nobody seeds. Get a private tracker. Also, get a torrent with a lot of seeds and leechers…the more you upload the faster you can download (you don’t upload to seeders)
Answer #7
Well, I can get a max of around 25kb/s upload.
Dvd rip from axxo from demonoid.
Peers: 6020 seeders, 3166 leechers, 9186 total
I’m getting from 30-50kb/s and uploading around 18-25kb/s
Also, for some reason, when I’m downloading a torrent my internet speed bogs waay down, it took a while for me to edit this post for some reason.
Answer #8
Yes, your Internet speed will bog down…you’re using it to download and upload a torrent! Just let it run overnight…the torrent needs to gain momentum so to speak. Sometimes it takes awhile to get good speeds. I often have torrents start ~25kb/s and after an hour or so it shoots up to 200kb/s+. On my good private trackers though it starts out at 1MB/s+ (the benefit of having people who actually SEED!).
Answer #9
Is it alright to leave my laptop go overnight? Because it’s kinda all I have.
