Torrenting slow download speeds, very high upload speeds.

[daynwsowulf]

Hello, thank you for taking your time here.

I don't know if this is a problem or a design of torrenting.
I'm downloading a particular torrent on the internet. But I'm having a little problem with it. The download speed is stuck at around 150 - 300 KB/s whereas the upload speed is all cranked up to 1.5 MB/s (1500 KB/s). The file I am downloading is 36GB, I downloaded 300MB of this file and already uploaded 2.8GB?

Whenever I try to cap the upload speed to something like 512 KB/s the download speed decreases to 80kb/s or less. Why is it that I am giving bandwidth and I am receiving so little?

My internet speed is 30MB down and 15MB upload (3000 kb/s download and 1500 kb/s upload).
I am from brazil and I don't think my ISP throttles torrent nor blocks it.

Is this happening just with torrent? It might be TCP/IP stack
If so, try:
Start - All Programs - Accessories and right click on Command Prompt, select "Run as Administrator" to open a command prompt.

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog

Reset IPv4 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log

Reset IPv6 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log

Reboot the machine
