Verizon Fios + Transmission + Modem = Slow?

[Migestic]

I am using transmission on my mac and it's really slow. I have had this issue for a long time. When I use speedtest.net, it says I have 30mb/s download and 7.7 mb/s upload. It seems that it is fine. Here's the catch, I only get 2mb/s download on transmission (torrent client) and 400 kb/s upload as well.

Here is something I found in my modem/router that seemed to be weird to me.

The model number for the modem/router is MI424-WR Rev D

Here's my configuration for transmission.

Other than that I have no idea whats going on, it's not just transmission, it's everything else.

Torrents could be slow because there are no seeders. If everything is slow, try using Google DNS servers or OpenDNS.

Or Verizon could be throttling you.

I wasn't aware that VZ was throttling.

You have the green light in Transmission showing the port is open, so you should be good to go.

One suggestion is in the panel above lower those two peer settings way way down from what you have. Maybe down to 150 global (top entry) and 25 per transfer (bottom entry).

Your router has to manage every one of those connections and too many can cause the router to crash or drop connections.

Also set a limit to how many torrents can be active at once. Maybe set that to three or four.

The verizon issued router is known to have a NAT table problem. Also, I am going to suggest you enable encryption because that will help if verizon is throttling you based on what appears to be P2P traffic.

Just guessing. One never knows what the ISPs are doing.
