I've been trying to open ports so utorrent and azureus get good speeds, though try as I might azureus's port forward test keeps failing.
I've been to http://portforward.com/ and followed all their tutorials on how to open ports for both utorrent and all the various versions of my router. I've even disabled windows firewall. But I still get low speeds (<5kbs).

Is there something I'm missing does anyone know what is wrong?
D-Link G604T

who is your isp and what ports have you tried to forward?

port 58360
aanet

Testing port 58360 ...
NAT Error - Connection to 203.171.93.4:58360 refused
Proxy IP is '203.171.93.4', original is '203.171.93.4 ('Forwarded-For' request header was '203.171.93.4').

Woot fixed the problem!
Restored factory defaults and upgraded the firmware again. now it works
now I get +50kbs

Just a note, I read on whirlpool some ISPs have started de-prioritising P2P data, which can end up leaving you getting really s***ty speeds. To fix it, just turn on encryption (Azureus and uTorrent support it, if you're not using one of them then start).

Yeah, dirty ISPs :/

God forbid someone would want to use the quota* they paid for!

(* = yes I understand ISPs make assumptions about average quota usage and that most users never reach their quota, but good ISPs plan ahead in terms of expanding their infrastructure instead of going "oh s*** let's cap them")

I think it's more a case of p2p hogging all the bandwidth so gamers/web surfing speeds just go out the window. I for one think this is a good idea, let all the warez monkies wait that extra day to watch their pirated movies or try out the latest version of windows while I game away with my super low ping, and actually being able to see web pages some time this century.

There aren't too many true Unlimited plans around, so if you were hogging bandwidth all day, you'd be out of quota and shaped very quickly.

Or you mean short bursts of high-speed activity are bad? Isn't that one purpose of broadband?

Not really sure what you're getting at. I'm with Internode and they have very few latency issues compared to many other ISPs who oversubscribe at very stupid levels.
