Slow Utorrent speeds

[Max Power]

I used bitcomet and forwared my listen port ( 21656 ) on my router and firewall. I got Utorrent and made the port 21656 but the speeds are SOOO slow. like 3kbs MAX. The ports and still forwarded the same and all though?

Okay first the link is dead.

Second are you sure there are enough seeders feeding the file.

3rd try Azurues. It is just as good as BitComet but faster with the downloads. This is from personal experience. I used BC myself but now switched as Azureus works much faster and connect to more seeds.

I tried a torrent with over 600 seeds and barely ever gets to 5kbs.

Well think u can give me a good torrent i can try to utorrent to see if it works any good? if not ill try azurues

errr azurues sais my UDP port is blocked or something bu it isnt!

Well it could just be your router or firewall is blocking the traffic. Do you run Windows Firewall or a different one? Is your router setup correctly to allow these ports to have traffic? Is the application set up to allow for more traffic then you are getting?

Also, how many leechers were there? I find that a lot of torrents get relatively low speeds unless your get a pretty lopsided ratio.
