Anyone knows how to fix uTorrent speed for Windows 8?

One torrent file

In Windows 8 i get 1.8 kbps

In Mac OSX i get 250+ kpbs


wtf why windows 8?

lol

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

next time use google, elezzzark

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]

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
