What is puzzeling to me is why when i shut everything down broadband modem included and then start up again does Utorrent behave normally for a few minutes then suddenly does virtually nothing at all until i repeat the shutdown/startup process this puzzels me but should be a big clue top some one else! this 0.1kb/s speed which flits from torrent to torrent is just like they, the computers, are talking but not connecting? i have no problems with other apps and speed checks indicate i am getting an average of 6mb/s as usual?
So before version 3.4.2 of Utorrent i was getting download speeds of up to 700kb/s day and night 24/7 but i question now, like you, i have been getting maybe speeds of 300kb/s for 2 to 20 minutes then it drops suddenly for no apparent reason to 0.1kb/s affecting all torrents. it was a relief when i left BT to go to plusnet and have broadband i could use during the evening, Plusnet have not blocked anything when BT have, ie: kickass's website and i have been with plusnet for a year with no problems and excellent speeds for my type of broadband package, a constant 6.5mb/s download with 0.2 to 0,4 mb/s upload], day and night with no capping. THAT IS UNTIL i get an answer from the people at utorrent or someone one in this forum tells me that it is Utorrent at fault hereĪnd so i am at fault or my software is like McAfee aka BT/plusnet (BT are known blockers of p2p websites like kickass etc and do cap usage in the evening, or used to i have not been with them for just over a year]
Until i am told differently i have to assume that the upgraded Utorrent (to 3.4.2 version ) is not at fault. Please let me know if you get an understanding of this problem and if there is a solution that is perhaps not related to the McAfee software. I have plusnet which is a sister company to BT, hence it says BT Net Protect Plus on my McAfee software and not plusnet net protect plus.
