Sorry my first post is a problem, but this one has got me baffled
Okay, here is the situation.
I have a new 20" Intel iMac.
This is connected to the interent through a netgear router (hard wired).
I am running Transmission to download torrents. The problem is, the download seems to be limited to around 20kbps.
So, i check the seeder to leecher ratio. 227 seeders, 23 leechers. That should be brilliant!
So, i go upstairs to my old PC, which is connected to the interent through the exact same router. The PC is running uTorrent and is using the same ports as i set up on the iMac. This immeadiately max's out my connection getting about 230kbps.
Ill try something else i think. i installed Parallels and and install a copy of Windows and install uTorrent. I download the same torrent, and again my download speed seems to be limited around 20kbps.
I also tried using Acquisition on the iMac...again, download speed limited to around 20kpbs. Same with Tomato Torrent and Bitorrent.
what i have deducted up to now is this:
Im pretty sure it isn't a router problem, as the PC connected on the same router can download at full speed.
It isn't the torrent client i am using, because i see the same effect across many different clients.
I can download from FTP site and via HTTP at full speed
All my ports are forwarded and the firewall is set-up correctly (i have tried disabling the firewall too, still nothing). Anything else i have missed?
Any ideas what could be the problem!?
Thanks
Mark
