I actually had my DNS set to Google's DNS's, changed it to another public one and it made no difference, so I changed it back. It is really just my computer, I also though maybe it could be Utorrent eating up all my connections? I currently have it set to 200 max connections and while the DL and UL speeds aren't very high on torrents could that still be the issue?
Haha, yes.... turn off utorrent and test. Torrents KILL routing, the best thing to do is set up a port forward in your router to pass through the information of the torrents to reduce the strain. Put your computer on a static IP, then forward the port that utorrent uses to your computer.
Second, you want to set your connections to a lower number, you will notice that when getting a file, maybe there will be 20 good seeds, not 200, so a number closer to 50 will be better, then you want to set up a speed limit to around half of your total download speed, and half of the upload. So say a speed test says you have 12,000mb/s down and 3,000 up. You have to convert from bits (speed test results) to bytes (as in the speed shown in u-torrent), so you divide by 8, and get 1500/375, so set your speed limits to like 750kb/s down and 180kb/s down.
This will make sure that your router has to no filtering of all the connections, and will keep it from choking on that, then it will also leave half your available bandwidth for other stuff (games, browsing the web, etc).
