Hello everyone, i need a help about bittorrent (not only with bittorrent,with utorrent too). When i want to download torent files it is going very slow (0.1KB/s,1 KB/s...), even when there are more seeds than peers (920 seeds and 50 peers, or 3200 seeds and 2000 peers).I putted one file to download for 6 hours with 900 seeds and around 40 peers and it downloaded ONLY 8,6 PERCENT!!! Before it was good, but now... it's very bad

. So if you could help me to download files like before, i would be very appreciative.

What's your ISP, and what's your connection? Some ISP's intentionally throttle torrent traffic.

My connection is 512/64 KB/s, but i don't know what is ISP...

I have the same problem. I used uTorrent first, thinking that it was the problem I turned to BitTorrent.

I use Windows XP SP3 with Verizon DSL (768kbps). My problem would be similar to deni's except that I see the YELLOW icon on the bottom bar. It's between DHT and D (download I'm assuming). I was using Comodo Pro and it had a red icon. I uninstalled it and got a yellow icon.

Everything seems to be going so slowly. A 200MB file could not complete even with 12 hours of connection.

I heard this might be a problem... with "port forwarding" or something like that.

Thanks Oliver.

It sounds to me like it is almost certainly a port forwarding issue.

Do you have a firewall running, and/or a router with firewall?

My firewall is off.

Well, does your router have a hardware firewall? Most do.

i had the same problem and it was my ports. looked up on the internet and utorrent 1.7.7 causes these problems occacionally so i downloaded the beta version and everything worked fine after that

Beta for me works horrible, at least for the stuff i usually download. Check your internet speed, cause that was a problem with me. If its low, then try and get a better connection or whatever.
