seems to be ISP throttle issue for torrent downloading... Pls help....

[Tatty_Two]

@ OP...... please do not keep, double, triple, quadruple and quintuple posting (you get the picture), use the edit and/or multiquote tabs please.

@alivehunter, Send me a link to the torrent in question, or just the hash, via PM. I will try to see if there is a problem with it. Note that in spite of abundant seeds/peers, some torrents DO occasionally seem to be slow compared to other torrents. This can be caused by noobs (among the peers) using peerbloc/IP filters incorrectly, the "actual" owners of the content or their representatives using kind of a "jamming" technique to hamper the download process etc. Also, your own software firewall or the one in your router, if configured incorrectly, can be quite a menace. Send me the link, then we"ll see.

Wht to do? its very irritating ..

Like I said, you might have to use something like Private Internet Access. You can try signing up for one month to see if it fixes the problem.

 

[Nabarun]

The torrent is f***ed. Period.

This.

I use PIA and have no issues with ISP traffic shaping anymore. Great speeds so far too.

PIA s
Is easy to use a variety of ways...their app is solid. You can use up to 5 devices at once, no data limits, uses solid VPN encryption methods, and comes out to $3.40/mo if you pay for 1 year. I recommend testing for a month for around $6 to see if you like it.

Has been a solid service and it also reviews the best in my research. I can recommend it and have used it between Missoula, MT and Las Vegas, NV on various Internet connections including AT&T via Straight Talk. This allowed me to play a little Elite Dangerous in the middle of Utah through my cell phone data plan w/o issues.

 

[Nabarun]

@Kursah, I checked the torrent. Not ISP problem. I checked with encrypted VPN too.

 

[alivehunter]

thanks for your feedback and time...
may be this torrent has a problem...
but then all other torrents are also giving me the same problem except very few .....

 

[Nabarun]

As discussed via PM, try a different torrent.

 

[dorsetknob]

but then all other torrents are also giving me the same problem except very few

If your downloading Torrents that are infringing copyright (Not saying you are) then there is nothing we can advise you to do
How ever if they are legitimate LEGAL torrents then i suggest you take up this matter with your ISP.

 

[Nabarun]

I think his "sources" aren't good. But I"ll have to take a look at all the ones to be sure. It's quite late at night. But if @alivehunter wants, I can start the TeamViewer. I"ll need the user ID and pass via PM.

[OneMoar]

most likely you are overloading the modem its self and causing it to drop out
you didn't post who your isp was

If that was the case then ALL the torrents wouldn't work. He said that some do.

:
pin RJ45 direct from the ISP... then is my Wifi router ... TPLink 740N... which is then wired to my Desktop..

there we go, you need to drop the amount of connections in your torrent client. i'm a fan of TP link devices as fantastic value for money, but any budget router is gunna choke if you dont lower the settings - and utorrent is pretty terrible for that. aim for about 15 connections (yes, that low) and see how things go. odds are the router was getting packet loss and the peers at the other end simply got disconnected.

 

[R-T-B]

Post the link if its a "legal" torrent for legitimate software (freeware, open source, public domain software, Demo, Beta)

You can't post warez or stolen software.

Actually, posting torrents in general is against the rules here IIRC. Dumb, but I've been told that at least once... Unless it has changed.

 

[rooivalk]

That very well may be your issue, that router is a very inexpensive model and only has 8MB of RAM. It is very likely that the amount of connections uTorrent is generating is overloading the router.

Not sure if it's relevant, but I'm using the same router and has no trouble with torrent with 10x speed of OP's bandwidth.

 

[alivehunter]

Not sure if it's relevant, but I'm using the same router and has no trouble with torrent with 10x speed of OP's bandwidth.

I personally hav a feeling that the router is not the issue... because:
1. Even if i eliminate the route by connecting directly to the Desktop... still it gives the same issue.
2. When the speed of a download goes down, at the same time the other torrent (which always gives a good speed) .. still works good...So if the router would be an issue , then this good torrent should hav also gone done... but thats not the case.

 

[Mussels]

Not sure if it's relevant, but I'm using the same router and has no trouble with torrent with 10x speed of OP's bandwidth.

speeds arent the problem, the number of connections is. 1x1MB/s or 10x100KB/s or 1000x1KB/s, torrents can behave very differently.

one think noticed ....
for the torrents which are giving me full speed are connected to peer 10.240.254.***

any idea ??

 

[TheMailMan78]

I have never torrent before. Maybe I should try my connection.

That's a US IP. Probably the NSA

ha.. ha ..

Sorry couldnt try any thing more from yesterday... since my ASUS Motherboard have stopped working .. says no VGA signal..... huh...!!

[RCoon]

That's a US IP. Probably the NSA

Specifically, a private IP.

 

[Nabarun]

Anything people don't understand is either CIA or NSA.

That's from your local network. i.e, not from the internet. That's supposed to be a good thing, for better speeds. You can enable/disable it from utorrent options.

 

[dorsetknob]

Why would one torrent from one's own local network
That is a moron stupid idea

Reason its moron stupid is
if its on your own local network you already have the file
Most local networks are on the usual default setting of 192.168.0.***
