Probably a problem on your side.
the network speed on my Win8 machine is 100% the same as on my win7/linux machine.
do you have any third party software running, that could use up a portion of your network traffic?
also, can you recreate the problem on a stock win8 consumer preview machine?
I can't imagine anything in Win 8 which limits your internet connection speed (vs Win 7). I suppose it could be a driver issue, but if you were running with Win 7 then that shouldn't be an issue.
Perhaps there is something running underneath which isn't automatically turned off while you run that game.
My internet on win 8 is slow as well. Both on my desktop pc as well as macbook air. I have 100mbps connection.

How do you get 100MBPS? That sounds crazy.

games internet speed
well first of all i have no speed issues what so ever the same speed as on windows 7 ultimate. second of all this is pre release beta which means no games are compatible at least yet. i would hope that you took the time to partition your hard drive as i did.

Ok, I could never get the "internet sharing" to work on x1 with my friends laptop cause i dont have the drivers...so always used Wifirouter.
I find it a little slow, but it works and does work well. However, I read that the x1 supports "HSDPA, 7.2 Mbps; HSUPA, 2 Mbps" ...but i dont get speeds like that.
If somebody has the files required for connecting the x1 to a laptop and use internet sharing instead of wifirouter...can you upload and post it here? I will then keep them on my storage card for safe keeping.
Also, how do you find internet sharing? Is there any difference in speed compared to wifirouter?
Any help or advice would be great, cheers guy!
I think HSDPA is simply network dependent -when its there you get an H symbol on your signal strength (taskbar) ...when its not there you get the next best thing (3G) and if that's not available you're stuck with plain old slow GPRS (G)
Internet sharing works well for me (obviously depends on the connection you have on the X1 -as above) ...have not used wifirouter so can't say how they compare
7.2 Mbps is theoretical maximum. Your provider is not obliged to provide you with this speed. I get about 1 Mbps for download.
Actually you don't need special drivers for the X1 in order to use tethering. Just connect the X1 to a PC using an USB cable and start the "Internet Sharing" Application on the Xperia. Within the application select "USB Connection" and choose your preconfigured ISP connection profile - é voilà. You will notice that the Xperia appears as a network adapter on the PC. I use that a lot.
Regarding the speed: It really depends on your mobile network. Though my network provider (Vodafone Germany) has some spots where 7,2 MBit/s should be available, I have never had such fast download rates - it's more like 2-3 MBit/s which is still quite okay for me. And even if the network would be capable of such fast transfer rates, the speed will be reduced by the more clients use the same cell.
I also read somewhere (guess it was on SE offical site) that using HSDPA and HSUPA together will limit the download speed to 3,6 MBit/s. So you might want to switch HSUPA off and use HSDPA only - at least it's worth a try if you're sure that your operator provides such fast transfer rates. I always have both switched on.
Nice, 2-3mbps is a lot faster than i was getting...i guess i will need to try this out.
Regarding my friends laptop, maybe i should have said its win xp but it doesnt have active sync or any x1 soft installed...so maybe thats why its looks for the drivers?
Basically i was wondering if you guys knew where i could get the drivers keep them on my phone for times when im out and can get my proper internet fix
I've used my X1 on a few machines with ICS, drivers have always installed automatically (Generic NDIS I think it says), and that's on XP, Vista and Windows 7. No setting up with activesync etc, just plug in and start ICS.
I've started using WMwifirouter now though as it's easier, I don't carry a USB cable with me all the time, and you never know when it'll come in useful!
Random example... me and a couple of mates decided to learn some songs to play at our local, we had chords and lyrics for all except one, we were in a garage, my mate had his macbook, but couldn't pick up his wifi.
I started WMwifirouter and voila!
Speed wise, I usually get around 1Mbps, depending on signal etc, I've seen no difference between USB and wifi sharing.
How is the battery consumption when using WMWifiRouter, e.g. how long does the battery last? I can imagine this is the worst use-case at all, because you have WiFi active and HSDPA in parallel.
The big advantage when using an USB connection is that the battery is charging while it's connected, though the WiFi method is much more comfortable and flexible.
you do know that 7.2Mbps mega bits per sec? and not megabytes.

Actually you do not need a cable, you can have the phone to act as a bluetooth modem through the internet connection sharing , no drivers required what so ever, you will need to pair your phone with the laptop first make sure, that Bluetooth PAN client is checked on the laptop, then start the internet connection sharing on the phone and make sure that you are using bluetooth PAN, and you will have instant access on your laptop, No drivers, No cables
assuming the laptop has bluetooth
wifi is much more standard, so it's handy to have.
The best part here is non of these mrthods are mutually exclusive, so you can use whichever is best for the situation. USB is handy as ICS does drain power, using wifi for it makes my X1 extremely warm...

Yes, thats what comes up...but it wont auto install. Tried it on three laptops and they all wont work haha. I rebuilt the machines/laptops so even tho all drivers are installed (device manager)...maybe i left some out.
I was hoping somebody on the forum would know where i can find these drivers?
I know this sounds stupid...sorry
Generic NDIS is one of the system files in windows found under system32, windows will not boot even in safe mode if these drivers are not loaded, ICS works fine as far as i can tell with no extra drivers on any windows XP or later
i downloaded this;
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/network/NDIS/rndis.mspx
but its from 2005
I hope it works
Ive owned my x1 for about 6months, I have unlimited pda data plan but not tethering plan with my carrier. For some reason I can teather my x1 to my eeePC 901 via USB,but not BT,and get internet when Im not in a wifi spot. It does give me the BT PAN option and my devices are paired but cant get internet connection, only thru USB. Ive tried this multi times for over a month now and have not been charged any data usage or overage on my bill.
I was about to do the r3a update, but was wondering if there was any ninja fixes in this update. Id hate to lose this ability just for a little faster performance.
just use wmwifirouter bro
ActiveSync installation provides the ICS drivers

You DO need ActiveSync to be installed before you can use your X1 for ICS.
I tested it yesterday on my Windows XP SP3 laptop: When you connect your WM6 mobile with the ICS program running on it, WinXP demands for a plain Generic NDIS driver but won't find a suitable one. But during ActiveSync installation (version 4.5 worked for me), the USB drivers are updated, and afterwards my X1 got recognized as a "Windows Mobile Internet Connection Sharing Device" or something like that.
ActiveSync is not active during ICS session, but its prior installation is mandatory for it to work.

So I've recently been trying to wirelessly tether my g2 to my xbox360 to play live but I constantly get an error back saying my "NAT type is strict".
I can play games anyways that way but it is very slow and laggy and annoying. From what I read up about that error, I need to enable a few ports. Found here: http://www.xboxliveaddicts.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=24450&st=0 and also a few other sources....so question is, is there any way possible to do this on the g2 in place of a router as said in the directions?
Please help, not being able to play live seamlessly is terrible.
I have no idea but I do know that trying to play live through your phone is a terrible idea. The latency on these networks is not what you want when playing online or are the the speeds consistent enough. Trust me when I say this. You are going to pony up and get a real broadband connection for that. If not the lag is going to be extremely unbearable for the most part. The hspa+ network isn't built for it yet. Now true 4g will but that down the road quite a bit.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2
I agree with the last poster. Latency makes it completely not worth it. I don't know about opening the ports, but I know I used to be able to to use internet connection sharing on a laptop tethered to my windows mobile phone years ago to connect, but it was too slow to play anything. But if you're dead set on trying it, that would probably be your best bet. Tether the phone to a laptop via usb or wifi, then share the connection via ethernet.
I wish it was workable. I'm in the Navy and our computer network blocks many streaming sites so I use my phone and a laptop to watch netflix on slow duty nights. Would be great to be able to play Halo at work that way, but don't see it happening for a very long time.

Actually, anyone who has their data throttled would be their own reason.
With any type of internet connection, there will always be heavy users...
...at least as long as there is porn on the internet.

Hey guys, I'm relatively new to torrenting and I figured since this community is so great that I would run it by you guys first.
Speedtest says that my download speed is approximately 8mb/s. Why are my Utorrent download speeds so slow then? I'm only getting about 2mb/s download speeds.
There are plenty of seeders as well so I don't think that is the problem.
Could be throttling from your ISP, or it could be that you just aren't getting the same speeds over the ports uT is using. Or maybe all your seeds are slow. Could be any number of things.
8 mbit is your speedtest speed, utorrent is telling you your download speed as mbyte. they are 2 different ways of saying the same speed but they are not equal
example: speedtest tells me 9.56mbps I can download at 1226kBps or 1.2mBps

I'm downloading Dexter Season 5 which is in the top 100 torrents in Pirate Bay so i don't think that it is a problem with the seeds. Any way to check the other things though such as throttling from my ISP? I read that my ISP does in fact throttle so is there any way to get around this?

use an encrypted vpn, or a speedbox. I have comcast and they are notorious for throttling, but I use btguard so I don't get throttled, and nobody can track me

I'm going to look into setting all of this up. Would you mind helping me out? Thanks for your help.
yeah, pm me
Are you doing this through your phone (only reason I ask is because, well, it's here)? If so, your ping times are probably nowhere near fast enough to get you to consistently hit that 8 mbps speed.
If you've got multiple computers, here's a nifty trick I found this past weekend to get around some ISP's (namely, Comcast) throttling:
1) On both computers, install uTorrent 3.0 Alpha.
2) Under Preferences>BitTorrent set outbound encryption to forced, and un-check "Allow incoming legacy connections", under Basic BitTorrent Features, make sure everything except "Limit local peer bandwidth" is checked.
3) Confirm your router supports UPnP, and check Preferences>Connection "Enable UPnP port mapping", "Enable NAT-PMP port mapping", "Randomize port each start", and "Add Windows Firewall exception"
3a) If you have a firewall on your computer like ESET Smart Security, make sure to create an exception for all inbound and outbound TCP and UDP connections to/from utorrent.exe.
4) Load the same torrent file in both computers' uTorrent list. Under Peers, right-click and select "add peer", and enter the LAN IP address and port (you can get the port from Preferences>Connection>Listening Port) of the other computer.
Now, each computer will download the torrent and (hopefully) go after different pieces of the torrent simultaneously, then share over the LAN what each one has gotten. Enabling Local Peer Discovery will also find a bunch of peers from your ISP, since cable networks act like giant WAN-addressable LANs. (If you want an example, hook up your computer directly to your cable modem's ethernet port, and open up Wireshark. You'll see a ton of broadcasts from people's LANs, like mDNS and ARP requests. You could even do some ARP poisoning and sniff everyone's traffic in your neighborhood...)
Thanks for everyones comments and suggestions! Weirdly enough, I got it working great now and just by uninstalling and reinstalling as to restore the default settings in Utorrent 2.2.
One thing that peaks my curiousity however, earlier when I was trying to leach off my friends 8mb/s download speed internet I was only achieving the 2mb/s or so. When I got home to my house, I was getting about 2.5mb/s and the internet package that we have is supposed to only allow for 1mb/s!
I stopped all downloads and went onto speedtest.net and I did indeed register at ~2.7mb/s download and 1.1mb/s upload. I don't understand how this is possible considering last week I consistently was only getting 1mb/s and even called my cable company and they confirmed that was what I was paying for. Doesn't make any sense but I'm definitely not complaining
I get about 15 mbps down and about 1mbps up on speedtest.net. When I download a movie I see about 2mbps down and about 90kbps max. Whats everyones upload? Thats what really matters.

I found a torrent app for Android that actually works. I have tried several but tTorrent is the only one I have found that really works. They have a free lite version that has a download speed cap but I paid for the full which was 2 something.

Maybe there should be a disclaimer in the op lol
Limit your global upload speed to 25kb/s, walk away for 10 mins. Bam, max speed.
If that doesn't work, the torrent you want probably doesn't have enough seeds close by to you with good upload.

I have TW cable and high speed internet and running W8 without any problems. It's just a WiFi connection. If your WiFi works you'll be able to connect.
Your IPS does not tell you what you can use as far as OS or device. You should be fine as long as you do not install any of timewarner's crappy software on your system(s)
Hello,
I am on an HP Folio 13-1020us running the Windows 8 Consumer Preview 64 Bit. The Wifi can see the networks but it cannot connect to the schools network. I can connect off campus just fine, and I can connect without any trouble in Windows 7
This is very inconvenient for me, but its more difficult to handle considering my friends old Sony laptop has been able to successfully connect through wifi, so I know that it is not because "its just beta"
I am at Western Oregon University, where we use a WEP2 network. I have been to our IT guy and he patched me through as an exception, so theres no problem on the network end.
So far I think I have honestly read every single forum and answer to this, on campuses or not. Please if anyone has any ideas that would be great! But please don't list "Try uninstalling then reinstalling drivers, or updating them" I have the absolute latest drivers to all the components so far.
I have also tried to try the disable Mini Virtual Wifi Port, or whatever it is named, but it does not show up in my networking list.
Thank you very much!
