Hello friends,
I checked on net that other user are facing same issue with Airtel broadband.
Please confirm if other user are also facing same issue with airtel broadband.
Is anyone have any solution for that.

Your isp (airtel) is probably throttling the bandwidth. Try enabling encryption to overcome the bandwidth throttling.

Try adding a torrent with a lot of seeders. Add a lot of trackers. Can't see anything else obviously wrong from the screenshot. Post your speedtest results. Tinker with the settings. Try various permutations and combinations of the device, software and the net connection to narrow the problem down.

Did you try port forwarding?

 

[baijuxavior]

From the picture it seems that the number of seeders is nil for the first and third torrent where as one for the second one. So please try another torrent with a lot of seeders. If you can find some desi torrents, even one or two seeders will be enough.

speed is fine with normal web download. i have seeders but unable to connect. tried various setting but it did not help

@ontherocks

@baijuxavior
that's the issue. i am not able to connect seeders(even it shows in queue) tried various torrent as well.
though it was working before fine getting awesome speed evenif i have few seeders.

Port forwarding doesn't seem to be the issue since the smiley is green in your screenshot, which indicates that things are fine at that end. Quick thing that you can check is to use your laptop(if it is one) at someone else's place and vice versa to see if it has something to do with your ISP throttling it. It could be some QOS setting in your router too which you or someone else might have set inadvertently. I think there are sites that tell you whether your ISP is throttling your bandwidth. For example, Glasnost: Test if your ISP is shaping your traffic. You can also try this client called your-freedom and try connecting your torrent client through a socks proxy to this client to see if you can download torrents.

My torrent is very slow download,even i am selecting peers/seeders in more numbers. Last 2 weeks, i am facing this issue, even i called airtel, they told, they cannot support torrent issues, and they confirmed , airtel is not blocking any torrent connections.
Is any one knows the fix, please share it.
