    My upload speed is suddenly very bad


    Hi guys, I have been tackling this problems for a couple of weeks now and itīs driving me crazy.

    Suddenly my upload speed on a Windows 7 desktop (Realtek NIC) has dropped down to such small levels that I can attach files in Gmail or even think about using dropbox. Many sites that depend on exchanging information in both ways also are barely accessible.

    SYMPTOMS:
    * Cannot attach "big" files in g-mail (takes forever, a 100kb file takes almost 20 minutes )
    * Dropbox web interface takes 20 minutes to load
    * Speed testing sites report great download speeds on the ballpark of 70-80 Mbps (my hired speed is 100 Mbps) but the upload test usually times out, when it doesn't it reports very slow number (less than 1 Kbps - I hired for 50 Mbps)
    * some other websites are near impossible to use. Some are just fine (I can watch you tube and download perfectly)
    * Iīm in a home network, behind a router (Dlink DMG6661 - provided by ISP), all other devices on the same network are working fine (2 Windows laptops, 1 IMac desktop, couple of cellphones) with good upload speeds
    * prior to the problem start, this same computer was working fine
    * I had to user my laptop to post this message (this is ridiculous )
    * The bad upload speed is also present in "Safe Mode with Networking"

    WHEN IT STARTED:
    Only two things I can pinpoint happened just prior to I noticing the problem
    * Uninstalled Oracle VirtualBox 4.3.20 and installed Oracle VirtualBox 5.0.10 (this thing creates some virtual net adapters. Already uninstalled it to no avail)
    * Heavy utorrend upload use (I though it could trigger some DoS protection on my router)

    WHAT I DID TRY:
    * several different versions of the turning off some of these: "Chimney Offload State", "TCP Window Scaling heuristics" and Autotuning, in various combinations
    * Uninstalled VirtualBox e re-installed it a couple of times (it didnīt change anything installed or not)
    * Turned off "Denial of Service" protection on my router (just to be sure I was not the router)
    * reseting my network adapter as in : Resetting your network adapter in Windows 7

    MY SPECS:
    * Vivo fiber (in Brazil, optic fiber connection, supposed to be 100-50 Mbps)
    * Reaktek NIC - D-Link router
    * AV: Avast Free
    * IP Config results below

    Nothing works... I really don't want to format this one...

    Help?

    Thanks for you reply event3horizon

    No, I don't have icontrol installed (I used to have ASUS Suite a long time ago, but it was messing my fan speeds).

    I know you mentioned you have other computers and that they are fine, but try restarting your router if you haven't done so. I can't think of anything else for you really. Also check if there's a "Large Send Offload (IPv4)" and disable it in your NIC settings in device manager, but I saw that you've checked that area before.
