Only Slow Speeds Torrenting

[Shearp 0]

I fixed my normal speeds in my old thread: https://airvpn.org/topic/20541-new-uk-user-slow-speeds/
​
​My new problem is that torrenting seems to be capped at about 2Mbps max (I get 10Mbps outside of p2p and 10Mbps when not using VPN to torrent). I've made sure this isn't the torrents problem by trying various well seeded torrents (including the recommended linux torrent). I've also tried different clients as well (utorrent, qbittorrent).
​
​I couldn't find many topics with people having similar problems. Seems pretty strange. Any ideas would be very appreciated.
​
I have also tried:
 
Using experimental version of eddie.
Using older TAP driver.
Increasing buffer size.
Port forwarding
​
System:
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
Intel i5-3570K
ESET NOD32 Antivirus
​Utorrent 2.2.1
​Superhub 2 modem
​

Superhub/Virgin Media is a very old topic. I get 19 threads when I search for superhub, almost all of them referencing speed or disconnection issues.. you should try it yourself.

[greenclaydog 6]

I would try making sure that UTP protocol is completely disabled and also see if SSH/SSL make any difference.

Hello!

 

Have you tried these things or these other things?

 

Likewise if you're using Wi-Fi, tried using the 5Ghz mode instead of the 2.5Ghz? Or using a wired connection. Or otherwise going into your routers control panel and checking a few settings. Things like making sure it's not using legacy Wi-Fi standards like b/g and doesn't have speed limits of any sort enabled.

I did, any none of the topics seemed to match with my experiences. Superhub has been fine for me.

Changing the UTP settings in utorrent seemed to fix it. Getting ~8Mbps now with small dips. Thanks!

I'm not on Wi-Fi but thanks for the suggestions!
