# Do you have speed problems?
If so, please do not ask for assistance here, go to the [Official qBittorrent support forum](http://forum.qbittorrent.org) and provide the answers to the following:
## Connection speed:
What your ISP has sold you is irrelevant, to calculate a starting place for settings requires a real time check of bandwidth/speed capability.
### Instructions:
Turn off any and all BitTorrent clients that are running, open [Speedtest.net](http://speedtest.net) in a browser, run the test(s), then provide a screen shot of the results in your post.
## Version and Operating System
This is essential. Also before asking, please ensure that you are using the latest release for your OS. See [the news page](http://www.qbittorrent.org/news.php) first, as we do not support older versions of qBT
## qBT Settings Information:
Connections: Global maximum and per torrent.
Upload slots: Global maximum and per torrent
Half-open connection value.
Is uTP on or off?
Rate limit uTP?
Encryption on or off?
IPv6 on or off?
Connection status? (the icon on the status bar will tell you)
Are you using a proxy?
## What type of user profile are you?
Do you seed more than download? or vice versa?
How many tasks do you expect to run on average?
Do you use the machine for other tasks simultaneous with BitTorrent downloads
Are there other users on the LAN?
If a specific loaded task is a problem, please provide;
The status of the task.
Seed and Peer counts in bracketed form x(n) ... The number in the bracket is potential, the number outside is actual.
Tracker status information.
If providing screen shots for any of the above, **please** hide the name column or obfuscate the name and/or hash id of the task along with 'access keys' in 'private' tracker URIs
## Please note: We **DO NOT** need or want metadata file (.torrent) URIs or magnet links to downloadable content that is **NOT** open source or public domain material. Failure to comply with this will result in a warning and/or account removal.
