y2kinder Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Hello,I have recently switched ISP from Talk Talk to Plusnet and I've had an issue since. As soon as I start the program the download speed goes up to 1.8MB/s then drops after 30 seconds to ~200-300kb/s. The only way for the speeds to return to normal is if I manually change ports within the program the speed shoots back up then drops again after about 30 seconds. I've forwarded the ports in my router and allowed the program and ports to my firewall so I'm at a loss as to why I'm having to manually change ports every 30 seconds when the speed is obviously there, I've spoken to my ISP and they told me they do not throttle anymore so that is not the issue. Hopefully you guys have some helpful tips and answers I could try, thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Does the problem persist with torrents from http://slackware.com/getslack/torrents.php? Do you have any messages in the status bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2kinder Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 No messages in the bar, it's green tick and says everything is working as it should. I've just downloaded from that link and it downloaded with no problems at a constant between 1.2 - 1.7MB/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Then the problem is likely the specific peers or the specific torrents. You'll have better long-term performance if you just leave things alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
