As of July 2010, utorrent 2.0.2 on windows and works flawlessly using above instructions. 533kb/sec multiple torrent downloads. Thanks.

July 2010, works with uTorrent on a Mac as well (Only mention this because uTorrent options are different on the Apple patform.)

Started noticing that during peak hours my torrents would slow to a 30 kb/s max so I investigated, came across this workaround and am happy to report that I’m currently downloading something at 400 kb/s again.

Regards.

I am having the same problem with useless download speeds with bittorrent as welll the last 3 weeks since they came up with a recent update of BT it can only download it seems a maxium of 5 links too

I set this up 3 weeks ago and it worked great. I was consistently getting speeds between 250 and 300 Kb/s, which is normal. Late last week I noticed my speeds have dropped down to 24 to 28 Kb/s. What gives? Is Bell’s deep packet inspection able to get through the encryption? If so then surely that is a wilful breach of privacy!!

I just received a the 2Wire modem & am trying to figure this out. I’m using Utorrent 1.8.3 & have tried the above steps with no change..am I missing steps here? Do I need to set the ports on the Application Support page as well?

Did you open a port on your router also?

Hello,

Tried configuring my uTorrent, restarted the modem and router, and I’m still stuck at 30KB/s.

Did anything change since may 31st?

Thanks

Just wanted to say, both “wow” and “thanks”… Even still in June 2009, this really works and I can’t thank you enough

Just want to confirm this positively works. I am on a Primus DSL connection. Instead of 24kb/s i now have 100 kb/s woho! Thanks!
I am connected through a linksys router wireless as well. Of course I had to change my port forwarding appropriately.

Oh and an addendum to your ports listed above to use, If you plan on actually getting good speeds then you must have a port file larger than 32000.

@DA: You are an idiot. Is that flaming if it is true?
@ Reader’s Write: Amen =]

Honestly it’s just the “smart” thing to do by encrypting your web traffic, no matter what it may be, you never know who or what (program specific) is watching your every move on the interwebz. As for the ISPs, what they do isn’t illegal, it’s simply a measure to endure so that they can legally stay in business in the trying times that exist where free information cannot be shared because of thick pieces of paper that say we can’t.

ESP/AH TCP port 50/51, UDP port 50/51… sheesh, what morons!!!
