Hey guys!

I'm getting speeds that fluctuate wildly between 10 KB/s 200 KB/s. I've even had speeds go up to 600 KB/s before.

I've used speedtest to correctly set my download and upload max speeds, i've got DHT set, I've got UPnP on (I'm behind a router), I've opened a port higher than 50000, and I dunno what else to do. I'm running KTorrent 3.1.2 behind Ubuntu Intrepid, and I'm too noobish to compile KTorrent 3.1.6 by myself.

Anybody able to help out?

if youv done all that and your ported right your probebly good It's not clear just what you mean by (fluctuate wildly) if you mean that say 1 downloading torrent with 20 or more seed's will in a mater of seconds role up and down constentley from 0 to 600 Kb/s to 0 then mabey thars a problem.

if on the other hand if you mean that 1 torrent with 20 seed's is coming in at an avrege of 500Kb/s and anuther torrent with 10 seed's is coming in at an average of 50Kb/s well that's normal !

the speed will varey depending on lots of thing's not to mention how meney seed's and leaches and how good thare conetions are.......even a good torrent will sort of role up and down speed wise that's why DL speed is read as an AVREG on the status tab

well, by fluctuating wildly, I mean fluctuate at all. With uTorrent, speeds will stay stable for the entire download period

I have two downloads with 4 seeds on one that has dropped in speed to to 5 KB/s and risen to speeds of 200 KB/s over the space of 5 minutes

The other download has 2 seeds and fluctuates down to 5 KB/s and up to 150 KB/s over the same time period. Again, this doesn't happen in uTorrent!
