Torrents begin very fast, but get painfully slow gradually

in DSL, your upstream should not affect your downstream

Bullshit/nonsense do some research b4 you make your claims

Here is a quote from karan from another thread
When you download at higher speed then a there is a lot of overhead towards the upload as well in the form of packet acknowledgments sent back by you. That is why for DSL is it recommended to keep the upload speed in P2P etc... at ~80% of max to allow room for the same.

Upstream is used to make peer upload sessions and the overhead for the download acknowledgements and if you max out your upstream the overhead packets get choked thereby reducing your download speed.

Er, I didnt make a statement, if you could actually read what i posted properly, I said (someone more knowledgeable about DSL should comment on this though, mgcarley?)

Stop making assumptions before reading through posts properly.

@FunkatronicNow there don't get defensive(assumptions I thought that was your style), you know its best to stay quiet if you don't know what you are talking about and have nothing valuable to add(otherwise its just spam). Let this thread go in the direction it was supposed to without you making it personal. I would request admin to clean out the unwanted posts so as to maintain the flow of the thread to the topic.

right .. bumping this am having the same problems i have a 2mbps connection .. always got more than 2.5 from airtel till about 2 months back .. got around 300kBps on torrents and other downloads then last month ,it went down to 250kBps and the speedtest shows the connection speed to be between 1.9~ to just over 2 . It was still what had been promised , so there wasnt much to do For the last few days , my torrent speeds go down in the afternoon and only pick up at night .. if i start a download around 4 pm, i get varying speeds between 60kBps to 130kBps ..and at night , it increases on its own to 240-250kBpsit has been happening for the last few days , maybe started with the new billing cycle (26th-25th)at the same time , i have stopped the torrent and checked the speed which was still at 2mbps and the HTTP downloads was working just fine (was getting 200+)is airtel throttling torrents during certain hours in the day ?ps: i checked my router(beetel450 bx1) on another laptop checked another modem (beetel 220bx) on my pchave ports forwarded on bothhave utorrent in firewall exception on bothsame issue , speedtest shows 2mbps , http works , but speeds on utorrent are miserable I am pretty sure its not a problem at my end

Don't think it is a problem at your end also.

so what is it ?
anyone else experiencing the same problem ????

Same thing at my end.... seems like airtel has clubbed you with other heavy downloaders (or business users) and so your line has a lot of traffic, which explains the slower download rates. I get random speeds all day long and 1Mbps at night time. Though download rate from microsoft.com and ubuntu updates are always @ 1Mbps.This thread here is regarding something a little different where the download speeds die out gradually and restarting torrents solves the issue, where as in your case night time speeds are better than day time speeds. Nothing you can do about it. Just note your latency during day time and night time... see if there is a difference.. high latency will indicate traffic and choked line.

so is there any point complaining ?its quite annoying .. i am having trouble watching a stream right now .. worked perfectly last weekend

 

[torrfriend]

use the software GREEDYTORRENT AND SET 5 TIMES OF DOWNLOAD AS UPLOAD SPEED......google 'greedytorrent' and install software....in their home page they have nice video...may work for you(100% working for me during slow download time.....)

 

[Mac]
