When I download on my XP pc using Utorrent I can get 1.5-2mb/s with Utorrent. Plus, on this Windows 7 computer I can get those speeds on fast sites like MS and Apple, but Utorrent seems to almost cap my speeds. I have all the ports on my router forwarded and opened correctly. I've searched for tweaks on the internet, but my speed stays the same. I've recently been noticing my download speeds for files have been very slow. I've run a speed test, and it said my download speed is greater than 60 Mb/s, but when I go to download a file, it barely exceeds 100kb/s. This happened very suddenly too, in the past, speeds were as high as 20 Mb/s.
Jun 10, 2020 uTorrent shows download/upload speed in Megabytes per second If you have a 200 Mbps internet connection, and you saw the 23.4 MB/s speeds reported by uTorrentyou might be disappointed. But in reality, 23.4 MB/s = 187.2 Megabits per second (multiply by 8). Feb 29, 2020 Move uTorrent to Windows Firewall to Speed Up UTorrent. When you download uTorrent on your desktop, you are asked to add it to the list of Windows Firewall. In case, you have missed doing that; Windows can block uTorrent to work properly. You can fix this problem using the followings steps.
Thanks for your guys' help. Oh, and sorry if this is the wrong portion of the forum.
A number of things can be causing this issue. Let's eliminate these one-by one:
1. NO SEEDERS: The most common issue is the torrent does not have enough people sharing the file or 'seeders'. You can check to see if there are enough seeders for the file by checking the file using this website - https://checker.openwebtorrent.com/
2. WIFI ONLY MODE: Your app is in ‘wifi-only mode’ and you are not on a wifi network. To check this, tap on the menu button (three dots) in upper corner of the screen in portrait (vertical) mode, then tap on ‘Settings’. Turn off the switch for ‘Use Wi-Fi networks only’, then toggle it once to make sure it is off. This will turn it red.
3. POOR CONNECTION: Your network connection is poor (common). To check this, try streaming content on your browser or an app (e.g YouTube). If you can stream content without too much buffering, then you probably have a strong connection. Alternatively, check your wifi speed with the free Speed Test app from Google Play. Here's a popular one - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.zwanoo.android.speedtest

4. BLOCKED WIFI: Your wifi network connection is blocked by the ISP. This means your network is blocking torrent files, or is blocking your outgoing port. To check this, try downloading a Featured Content torrent on another network. If you can download a torrent on another network (particularly a fast wifi network), then it’s likely that your wifi network is causing the issue. To fix this, tap on Menu, then Settings, then Incoming TCP Port in our app. Look at the TCP Port number, and increment it up by one. For example, if your port number is 6881, make it 6882. If this doesn’t work, your wifi network may be throttling BitTorrent traffic, in which case we can't help with a workaround.
5. PHONE ISSUE: The app isn't working well with your device. To check this, delete any unfinished torrents, then close the app. Next, delete BitTorrent app data by going to your phone’s Settings, then App, then BitTorrent, then Storage, then Clear Data. Next, reboot your phone, then uninstall and reinstall the app, then reboot your phone again. Then try downloading a test torrent here - https://webtorrent.io/free-torrents
6. NOT SHARING FILES: You are not seeding, and the swarm is ignoring you. If you are not seeding, you may be anonymously identified by the swarm as a leecher. Leeching means you download, but you don’t share. Some users reporting slowdowns after using the app for a long time are having this issue due to not seeding. To check this, go to your phone’s Menu, then Settings, then Upload limit, then change this to a reasonably number (not zero). Try seeding a little, and see if your torrents start speeding up. But please don’t do this with your data plan. Use wifi-only mode, which is also under Settings.
