I use utorrent v1.9 and am getting minimal download speeds of like4-8kB/s. The little internet connection icon at the bottom right of my computer also says 100.0Mbps if that helps. i always hear of people getting really high download speeds, and i know they have to have alot of seeds and i make sure that i have 1 with way more seeds than leechers.... I use Comcast and have a download speed of 2.5 Mb/s and an upload speed of .37Mb/s. according to a internet speed test. I downloaded the patch from torrent freak that speeds it up and it did just a little and I also set the netmax half open to 80 like it says. I do have a router and i tried to forward the ports for utorrent with no success on portforward.com/ but i couldnt get it to work. My web browser is super fast but utorrents is ridiculously slow. I do have utorrent set as a firewall exemption on my computer, (i have windows xp) ALso....I cant figure out my static ip address, maybee thats my problem with portforward.com i did research the heck out of utorrent and im still struggling.. Any help would be greatly appreaciated! any Thanks so much for any help
