PS - Seeders:Leechers ratio easily crosses 3:1 on the torrent I'm downloading

Allow network access to Utorrent in windows firewall.

If already allowed, remove it from the list and then re add it.

ISP ? Have you tried downloading on another PC?

lol if network access wasn't there then how would it download?(even at 30kbps)
Speeds are same after doing what you said.

will try tomorrow.

Have you tried out Tixati? Anyway, try enabling "protocol encryption" in the "bittorrent" tab and uncheck "randomize port each start" in the "connection" tab. And are you sure your upload speed is not set too high or too low? It should be set to 60–80% of your original upload speed.

Enabled protocol encryption, and unchecked randomise port. Not much help. Taxati doesnt cross 100kbps wtf

^^What's your average upload speed, in general I mean, not in torrents?

change port >49500.
throw away utorrent,bittorrent.they are sold out to crappy ads

M

Currently using Tixati it is good.

which is your ISP?

seems like ISP issue rather than utorrent issue

yup looks like ISP issue to me as well.

yup,i like it..but tixati is banned in most of the private trackers

I use mostly Tixati, qBittorrent and Vuze (I know it's a bloatware but I still like it). Deluge is good too but it has got some problems with magnet links.

You seem to be using Windows 7 in which number of half-open TCP connections was limited. Try increasing it (there are tools available online), and also do so in advanced tab in torrent client's preferences.

You are using a very old version of utorrent.
install the latest version and make sure your listening port is open.

Who is you ISP?

I'm on 2.2.1 uTorrent. It doesnt have ads and ads are not related to my problems.

i have a reason for using the old version of utorent. no ads + its accepted on IPT. and newer version was even slower.

Try different torrent client

Also make sure the port is forwarded in the router.
