well, u r getting good speeds on speedtest..that means everything is okay from the MTNL side..Try downloading a file from Microsoft and see weather u r getting good speeds..and also for torrents u have to forward ur ports..Port forwarding is a easy procedure, just note down the Model number and make of ur modem and search in this forum, u will get the procedure to forward the port..if u dont find it, then post ur modem number here..we will help u outhappy downloading

Hi superprash and motorazor,Thanks for your prompt replies.Well the router I am using is D-Link GLB-502T.Thats the only knowledge I posses regarding it.And I think its the most common router available in the market for MTNL.Kindly guide me how to open ports plz...plz.Thanks for your reply once again.

here's the link to portforward Port Forwarding for the Dlink GLB-502T .. choose some number to port forward and ensure that you enter the same number in the utorrent menu(under preferences i think).. also open the same port in your firewall

Hi Guys,
I did as u all said and from the link provided.
And a result was a bit positive.

Instead of Port Forwading, I'd suggest you move to a Bridged Connection(Chk stickies for ur modem configuration).
Two benifits:yahoo::-


[*]No Reboot reqd at 0000-0800, since simply shutting down the machine via a timer will end the session
[*]No hassles of forwading ports for any application ;like uTorrent or others u may add later
[/list]Also some torrents even though they have hundreds of seeds may not give u full speeds.I always try FTP from Linux distro sites, coz their DL speeds are comparable to MS website

If Speedtest.net is showing 1.8Mbps then, u've got a great line.Thats the max DL speed u can expect on a 2Mbps line.Its only a problem with those torrents.
Either ur Share Ratio on Torrents is not good or the Torrents don't have High speed uploaders.

Suggestion:-
Add many more torrents to uTorrent, so if DL speed on one is slow,then another torrent can DL while first is Idle
