Hi everyone!
I'll try my best to explain what the issue is as my level of expertise when it comes to tech stuff is not advanced.
I have uTorrent installed on my Xiaomi Device.
My internet works fine. I have VDSL plan 20 Mbps.
Whenever I download a uTorrent file on my Xiaomi device, it works ok, the download speed is ok. It reaches 2.5 MBps, just the right download speed for my VDSL plan.
However, I have 1 other device (Samsung Phone)
While the Xiaomi Device is downloading the file from its uTorrent app, when I try to go to the internet with this Samsung device, it still detects the wifi signal, but it gives me an error saying my connection has timed out, and that little exclamation mark thing on the wifi symbol appears. When I go to youtube for instance, my Samsung device tells me I'm offline. Now when I look at my Xiaomi device, the download is still running.
Whenever I stop the uTorrent app, the internet comes back in my Samsung device. So I was able to rule out that the problem is the uTorrent. However, this never happened before. My modem router just got replaced as upgraded my ISP's plan. Before, I download things on the internet with no problem at all.
What I did so far?
I adjusted uTorrent's maximum download limit to just 500 KBps, as I was thinking that if I set it to Maximum, it will consume my bandwidth. But no, this didn't work. I was still getting the same trouble.
Hope you guys can help me. Thank you!

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this question, but i'm sure a mod will move it if its not I live in hill billy hell, so i get gprs/edge networks out here, when i cant jump on an open wireless connection, and i wasn't really paying attention, because everything i was downloading was comeing in around 3-4 Kbs tops. I am useing Ubuntu linux, which i am new too, and i realized one ot the packages i wanted wasn't installed, so i opened synaptic and found the package clicked apply and switched desktops, to play a lil bit of mobsters. So a few mins later i switch back over,and i see synaptic DL'ing at like 15 Kbs. So my questions are these: is 15 Kbs accurate over edge, or was that possibly a mistake, and if it is possible, are there settings i can change on my box that will allow me to connect at faster throughputs.
ubuntu 10. something the new one
connecting useing the opensource wifi tether advertised here, useing the edge network mostly, the gprs seems faster at times, but the signal isn't great.
Any advice or pointers is greatly appreciated
try downloading anycut then create shortcut->activity-> phone info
click it then scroll down and select WCDMA only it might help forcing your G1 to 3G connection I hope it will help
obviously it depends on a few things, i too use ubuntu 8.10 and i usually get arount 20kb/s when tethering on edge. sometimes i get a weird spke and sometimes i get some real bad lows, it really depends on the time of day and a whole lot of other factors.
Has anyone else had horrid problems with PDANet just vanishing on your computer while you're running uTorrent? Process jsut vanishes, gotta go restart it and reconnect and everything. ROM don't matter, every custom ROM I've had does this crap.
Can someone confirm whether uTorrent works on Wireless Tether or not?

uTorrent and BitTorrent work over my Wifi tether.
Last night I Downloaded how to train....never mind
wireless tether works great with utorrent. Haven't had the best of luck with downloading anything, either ftp or torrent, with PDAnet or easytether
Thanks for the input guys.
I have been using pdanet tether with utorrent for a long time and I think I have figured it out. It works 95% of the time with no problems, however, the torrents with alot of seeders with a good download rate that are coming in "too fast" seem to disconnect it. I'm not sure if it's even the speed, but it seems like it's the number of connections. If you go into the speed guide just lower the setting a bit and it seems to work well. I have mine set on the 17 kbps upload speed and I manually changed it to only allow one upload and download at a time. There are still some torrents which seem to kick it out, but it doesn't happen much anymore. I have also noticed when I go onto google news or another news site and I open like 10 new tabs, for all the articles I want to read, that also will make the pdanet program close or kick me off, so I think it's connections rather than speed. The highest consistent speed I have had downloading from utorrent has been ~170-180 kb/s.

My highest consistent I think was yesterday, a record, of about 160kB/s
Mmmmm... uTorrent will be awesome when the Evo is out
My problem is that the phone gets so hot that it hits the thermal safety limit and shuts off after about 15 mins when doing torrents, this does not happen when playing wow or general browsing.
I can definitely say that it is the speed, and not the number of connections. I am tethered via usb and use utorrent all the time. I also download from sites like uploaded, rapidgator, etc. As soon as my speed gets fast Pdanet stops on my phone. I can not even do one download using zippyshare because they have very fast speeds.
ive owned this phone now for a few months and while i think its great it sometimes is just a massive pain in the arse.
i need some advice as technically im pretty good but i have to get my head round the problem 1st.
1- ive just decided that i want to use my home router as internet access on my phone so ive set up the connection, which the phone finds, entered the encription key and i get the little wifi icon on the top of the screen. all good......
but when i connect to a website the data connection (orange) appears as well. is there a setting to use one or the other?
2- adobe flash player. a right pain the backside. many sites including youtube require new updates of the player but when i click on the download and get the status bar it seems to freeze. and when it looks like it finishes (rarely) i get the same message on screen that i need to download the latest version!
3- automatic connection. still not sure if my provider charges me for constant connection. whether it is downloading data constantly or not but it seems strange that the phone, although there is nothing running in task manager will connect itself. ive woken up in the morning to find its been connected for 10 hours! is it updating? if it needs to connect why cant it disconnect itself?
4- the irritating freeze. mostly if its been on all night doing nothing. then i unlock it (without passcode as this seems to make it worse) it freezes. then needs a hard reset to function again
apologies for the rant and long 1st post but i really dont want this nice phone ending up like the last and being thrown about as it doesnt work as well as it should.
many thanks
Hi Friend, try HTC's website they have several hotfixes for your phone (some reason only available on europe portal but might point you in right direction.

As for using phone as modem I only recommend if BROWSING web only, not downloading, as yes it has DSL speed but it is ILLEGAL on all phone plans and they will cut you off after a limit (normally 10GB) and then they give a call and ask "Whatcha doing?" so only use as back-up browsing only.
I just wrote a long post detailing my problem and lost it all the instant I hit the 'submit' button because the forum timed out. AHHH. I'm sure some of you have been there and know the feeling!
Anyway, I just came across the revelation today that there is something seriously wrong with the download speed of my Infinity tablet. For as long as I can remember, I have had trouble watching Youtube videos. Occasionally, they would play fine. But more often than not, the streams would constantly pause every couple of seconds to buffer -- making the videos unwatchable. This behavior was the same on all the channels I visited. I don't watch Youtube videos that often, but it has finally irritated me enough to investigate it.
According to my tablet's wifi settings, my link speed is 39Mbps from my usual location. I brought the tablet to the same room as the router (an Asus RT-16) and the link speed increased to 65Mbps, but this did not solve the constant buffering problem. I then performed a factory reset and left my tablet clean, only downloading updates for the stock apps including Youtube. Unfortunately, the problem remained.
Now this is where things get interesting. I have a 12Mbps internet connection. I went to speedtest.net on my desktop PC and it reported 11.54Mbps down and 1.48Mbps up. Quite reasonable. Then I downloaded the Speedtest app onto my Infinity. Even with a 65Mbps link speed, I could not achieve more than 2.02Mbps down and 1.57Mbps up on the same server I tested my desktop. I then tried other nearby servers, and all them were between 1.65Mbps and 2.0Mbps down. 2.02Mbps was the fastest download speed I could achieve.
For a comparison, I then ran Speedtest on my Galaxy Nexus phone. It achieved 9.33Mbps down and 1.61Mbps up.
Any ideas why my Infinity can only reach a download speed of 2.02Mbps, even with a 65Mbps link speed?

I just downloaded the app Speedtest.net and ran a test. The results are 15526kbps download and 2806kbps upload. I used to have that problem with the stock rom. Currently, I am using custom rom and some tweaks with the tablet's network. It does not have the buffering problem any more. So far, I have no problem with streaming movies or youtube unless three or more devices sharing the same network in my house. My current settings on my tablet are Cromi X V4.6.6 and Hundsbuah V3.0.6 OC CPU at 1.8G all cores, UV about 35mV, and GPU at 700M. To answer your question, there are a lot of things could affect the network. These are a few major problems: the buffersize setting, low RAM memory, slow I/O, and other poor factory setting came with the TF700T. There are a lot of good information scattering everywhere on this website. With some research, you can fine tune your device. Good luck.

Thanks for the detailed response LMK. To make things more confusing, I just re-ran the speedtest about 5 hours after the first series of tests and the download speed is now 9.81Mbps down and 1.64Mbps up. So this is an intermittent issue which explains why I can sometimes watch Youtube videos without issue. I have been sorely tempted to unlock my device, but I have a stuck pixel and I was worried other hardware issues might creep up during the warranty period.

I unlocked my device after a few day of purchase. I never attempt to tweak with stock rom. Therefore, I don't know if I can help you further. There are a lot of experts on this site. They will give you some good advises on this topic. If you some how can access to build.prop and init.d, those area where I tweaked my network. Maybe, you can access those files with rooted. You probably can find some answer with searching on this site.
Could be RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). Look around your house for wireless devices in the same freq range as your wifi router. Usually 2.4ghz. Cordless phones, baby room monitors, wireless speakers and sometimes microwave ovens. If you have any of these types of devices unplug them all then run your speed tests again several time to the same site. I get good speeds on mine using the speedtest app. Usually 19-21 mb on a U-Verse 24mb connection. But I had problems when I installed a rear wireless speaker adapter from Radio Shack for my surround sound system. It knocked me down to 3-4 mb. I beat my brains out (the few I have) for days until I unplugged ALL wireless devices (not PCs) and then one at a time plugged them back up running speedtests at the addition of each device. Then I discovered the RS wireless adapter was the culpret. Lucky for me it has a switch for three different channels. Changing the channel on it cured my problem. Placing my router on wireless channel 4 helped even more. Neighbors on either side of me are on ch 11. I also suspect the RS device was just about there too.
Just a passing thought. I hope you get your problem solved.
BTW My TF700 is completely stock.
Any Help is Welcome

Perplexing.
I have this bufferng situation also, if that's what is the culprit.
Solved my up/dn problem by removing my access point
I am 65mbps 13-24 mbps but can not stream YouTube etc. Plays a bt then the hourglass.
I think wi-fi interference would hurt the 65mbps connection speed not the upload/download speed.
I have a linksys router and the special Linksys modem built for Comcast system.
I can only look at system or apps conflict as the culprit but damn if I can find it.
I have been CROMi since Scot's incarnation.
Any Help is Welcome, thanx
Strange. On my stock TF700, with a good 65Mbps connection, with Speedtest I see 19Mbps down and 5Mbps or so up, about the same as my Nexus 7 and laptop. Are you using the same test server for all of your tests?
hello I have been studying this issue for about a couple of weeks & still can't find no answer to this. The speed test on my phone you can see is pretty fast, BUT when I use T-Mobile hotspot tether why is it slower then back in the AOL dail up days 56K. I don't know what can I do that can at least give my hotspot tether a minimum of 2Mbps. Can anybody help me out with this issue appreviate it.
There are a lot of different things that could cause this. First of all you need to know that every provider recognize when you are doing a speedtest and they give the maximum that is available only for good test results. That doesnt mean that you could access the internet with that speed. Second, the speed of the wifi connection between your phone and pc could be very bad espacialy when you place your phone very close to the pc, for a good wifi connection it should be minimum 1m distance. And there are a lot of other things that could impact the speed like apps using internet on your phone or background updates on pc or a hundred other things. Nobody can tell you for sure whats causing this, you just can play around with it for a while place it on different postitions or deactivate apps and so on and so on...

Thanks for the food for thought. Correct me if im wrong the speeds that you do in speedtest results are the physical speed you would be using from your phone internet right or it would be a very lengthy lag when streaming videos & downloading apps. At 22 mbps a app that is 21mb would download just about soon as you click it. Sohow would these speedtest results not be the physical testing usage. I thought it was other 3rd party apps to bypass the throttling. I am gonna see if I can fumble somewhere in the internal advance settings. Cause its something Tmobile have if i purchase the unlimjted tether i heard i get the full bandwidth speed & thats the goal I do want to work on to achieve.
