I did check throughout your Forum but found nothing much of relevance, excepting one new posting with inadequate info to begin with. It sounded very little like my problem thus the new thread. However, this is my first posting, and I have tried to comply with all your rules, including reading them a few times over just to be sure. Despite this I am not sure if you have all the info you need above, but I have tried to put in everything I could think of.
My situation is that I have successfully used Bitcomet from v. 65 and have had my share of problems but worked them out. My download speeds would go through ups and downs, as is the case depending on the number of seeds etc. But the download speeds were decent in my opinion. For the past 8 days or so no matter what I have tried my speed varies but averages about 10kB/sec and this is only with a single download. Uploads tend to stay at about 9 but there have been times when the upload speed was higher than the download speed (even though I have not changed the Bitcomet setup from when the downloads were coming in at reasonable speeds). My direct downloads for freeware etc. continue to download at a pretty decent speed i.e. 250-285 kB/sec even presently.
After reviewing my Bitcomet settings and comparing them to what is recommended I couldn’t see anything which could be the culprit. And I have run the tests (Max Planck, ShieldsUP, and one other which I forget) to check if it is my ISP which is throttling me. And they all come back negative. Despite this even if the ISP is throttling me, I can’t believe that as a business they will do so 24/7. Where I live ISPs have legally won the right for traffic shaping. And I can live with peak hour throttling but not this 24/7, I think it would be bad business sense. But thats just me!!
The one thing which changed things temporarily was when I reviewed my half-open connections and successfully increased them to 50. The speed jumped in about 30 seconds to 135-155 kB/sec. I was somewhat thrilled. When I checked two hours later, it was back to the same old pokey speed.
I do not know too much about P2P, just manageable I would say. Because of this I have also attached a graphic of my Bitcomet Advanced Setup. Even though I don’t know too much I had not been disappointed so far. Now it is a different story. My suspicion is there is some malware issue, though I could very well be wrong. But I would be most grateful if you can provide any help. And yes, I have considered going for a VPN, but I can’t do that right now.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Best
