Rocklee,
I don't think it is a Singaporean government thing.. I think it is a configuration problem as I used to get much, much faster speeds with my old crappy laptop using the same modem etc etc.
You went from Singapore to Seoul? Now that I've lived here, I could never live there. In fact, I'm not so sure I want to live anywhere else either! To each his own, eh? |

Enable encryption in U-torrent.
If your ISP is throttling the connection because it's a torrent this should get you around it.
Download TOR and run your connection via proxy server and see what happens. |

Like I said, I was there a few years ago. It could be the ISP monitoring your bandwidth usage or something.
The only thing I missed about Singapore was the food. Did not enjoy the lousy English or rush-rush mentality of the locals. |

This seems to have worked. I'm getting 45Kb/s now from a torrent with only a few seeds.
Thanks! |

The food is great, and the English is poor I guess. Again, to each his own I guess, as it was the pali pali culture in Korea that made me dislike living there.. I've never really felt it here, but I'm out in the suburbs where life is slow.
Anyhow, maybe you were right. I've turned on the encryption and all seems to be working well. |

Hey,
I've tried changing the ports on Azureus a few times now. Makes no difference. In addition, I switched to and back from Utorrent. Made no difference. Utorrent worked worse in fact.
Though, Azureus will tie up my whole system sometimes. |
yeah I think rocklee might have it right. It might well be your ISP. Here in Seoul, I moved from Hanaro to KT and went from sluggish and unstable to lightning fast overnight. I downloaded an episode of Coronation St (30 mins) at 1.2Mbps. Prior to that I would only dream...
Oh... I deleted it by the way... it was just a well seeded torrent 
So you might be stuck unless you change ISPs. |

the saint, OP got it going again by adjusting the encryption so credit goes to MrSquirrel.
Thanks for the head up though 
PS. I thought I was the only person in the universe who watched C.St  |
