Anyone knows how to fix uTorrent speed for Windows 8?

[juji]

One torrent file

In Windows 8 i get 1.8 kbps

In Mac OSX i get 250+ kpbs


wtf why windows 8?

[m0nde]

lol

Typical indian tech support reponse

check the firewall, if you're blocking torrent ports your speed is going to be shit

[m0nde]

this was the obvious answer but the fact that all he's getting is 250kbps without ports blocks shows that it's hopeless anyway

[maks]

the VM I use for downloading torrents only has 256MB...

You need a more powerful stand in order to use windows 8

win98se ftw

it sounds to me like a problem with the ethernet cable itself. unplug it and blow on it and the ethernet port to loosen up any lint clogged. lint is blocking the data trying to get through

[timmy]

it sounds like to me its because cody is still posting, ban him and your torrent speeds will go tubro

[sex with dead people]

It's because windows 8 sucks cock. It has to if stevey likes it.

[maks]

if he partitions and installs ubuntu w/no AV would that probably do it?

no, he needs to forward the torrent ports to his win 8 box on his router and whitelist them in the windows firewall

[juji]

added utorrent as exception in firewall, actually im torenting in Mac OSX

forward them on the router too, you'll get like double the speed

[m0nde]

not going to make up for his shitty mexican ISP

[maks]

true but it'll be faster than it is now

[juji]

Can't, 2 persons are using my router, so they need internet

[m0nde]

doesn't know how to set up simple on-demand port forwarding
only knows how to be a psychopath posting peoples' personal info like fagchat

[maks]

you don't need to remove their access to the internet, you only need to forward the 10 or so ports that bittorrent uses. If the other user is also using bittorrent they can configure their client to use 10 different ports and you can forward those to the other box.

When you set up a web page you forward port 80 to the machine it's hosted on, same concept.

[m0nde]

next time use google, elezzzark

[m0nde]

teenagers are figuring this shit out on their own

[maks]

Don't be so tough on Juji, he knows a lot more about writing code and working with SQL than I do, we can't all be experts at everything

[maks]

I feel bad for him if he's been torrenting for this long without forwarding ports though his speeds must be total shit

[juji]

forward them on the router too, you'll get like double the speed

It won't assign uTorrent IP on the router, it says it's conflicting

[juji]

So, i write applications, im not a network expert, please don't judge

Turn off uPNP, that shit is a huge security risk. Click on 'Configure' and show me a screenshot.

[juji]

Nevermind, it assigned when i closed uTorrent

he doesn't write shit. he works at a web design studio which hired him as an affirmative action thing and he enters data or some shit for them

some place called black swan

>implying m0nde thinks myself never wrote anything


also i don't work this studio anymore, stop sharing that info

[maks]

it was added by uPNP which means it's going to disappear now that you turned it off

[juji]

Ok, what now?

[juji]

I've checked utorrent port, and i got "closed" sign umm

[m0nde]

good job trying to explain anything to him
this is why everyone else knows it's not worth getting into this with this guy ever
it'll take you 3 hours to try to explain it

[sex with dead people]

Stop sharing that info

[m0nde]

elelezzzark, i'm sorry for saying that you're a retard

[maks]

Ok, what now?

Step 1 - Check the uTorrent settings to find out what range of ports it's using (probably somewhere in the 8000's)
Step 2 - Find your router on portforward.com and follow their instructions
Step 3 - Verify your status is not 'blocked' or 'firewalled', I don't use uTorrent so I don't know how to find it in there but it shouldn't be hard to figure out. Also you should see 'DHT OK' or something like that somewhere

[juji]

I got working and my port is checked says it's open, so no changes for bandwidth speed

[maks]

It's still going to depend on the seeders and your own internet speed and frankly if you had upnp enabled it was probably forwarded all along but upnp is a stupid and dangerous thing and now you've configured it properly

[juji]

Good, Thanks for your help.

m0nde is just a shit teacher

[maks]

m0nde didn't want to teach you he wanted to mock you and he did a fine job of that
