Hi,
A couple of weeks ago downloading torrents worked, since then I have changed nothing and now it seems to flood my router, because I only get a speed of about 4-6kbps downloading and in my browser it loads proper slow, like 5 minutes a page, MSN disconnects too.
Can anyone give me some help? I don't know how to fix this :@:@
I use Transmission for OS X and sometimes uTorrent for OS X.
Thanks
Is the port open/close?
I haven't changed the port since it worked, and as far as I'm aware it's open.
I use NAT/UPnP too..
Mind checking on utorrent please,
and doing a speed test on
speedtest.net

Without running any torrent program (normal for this time of night, usually get between 2000-2500)
It doesn't even run with a torrent program on, so I can't give you that.

I have this problem too... have never found a fix though :/
Try enabling/forcing protocol encryption.Quote:

Try this, reply if you need help
Mine is port forwarded and it still does it.
I forwarded the port, enabled encryption, still not working. This is so annoying...
If you havn't used your internet for anything that is illegal recently you should phone up Talk Talk and ask them whats going on, it sounds like they have limited your p2p.
you're using a mac!!
;)
Fail right there. I already said it does it for me too, and im a PC user.
AOL throttles my torrenting port every 1-2 weeks, just change to a different port.
Funny actually cos it used to happen on my PC, and as you can see, Tom has this problem too... :8Quote:

the wink was there for a reasonQuote:

There will be a traffic manager somewhere, talktalk are known for itQuote:
