Arijeet77 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I have a 640 kbps connections shared over WiFi with 2 of my friends. My ISP (local peering : 5 mbps) gives good local peering. With local peering, I get around 700 kB/s speed in my torrents. However, for the past few weeks, I have been facing a speed issue. Whenever I download a torrent which I know has local peering, the speeds i get are around 650-700 kB/s. However, after sometime, I find that the speed has fallen down to around 80 kB/s (640 kbps/8 = 80 kB/s). What's annoying is that, once i stop and restart the torrent, I again get good speeds around 700 kB/s. This problem keeps repeting with almost all of my torrents(with local peering). So I have to keep restating them after every few minutes. So the following possibilities may be the cause : 1. Simultaneous downloading by my friends limits the local peering speed I get. Fluctuation occurs even when I am downloading alone(with no other friend connected to the WiFi). 2. Problem with my ISP which limits local peering in selective torrents. My friend (who uses Vuze) gets a stable 650-700 kB/s when he downloads locally peered torrents alone(same torrents that I get fluctuating speeds with). 3. A bug in utorrent. Maybe some setting that interferes with local peering. So the question is : WHICH ONE????I have already stated my logic to rule out the first 2 possobilities.Kindly help me out as I am tired of restarting my torrents every now and then to constantly receive the 700 kB/s local peering speed.

DreadWingKnight Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 How are you obtaining the local peering? What are your actual settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arijeet77 Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 How are you obtaining the local peering?What are your actual settings?My ISP, Alliance broadband supports this local peering like I have mentioned before. There are no specfic settings that I use to obtain this local peering. I use the default settings after installing utorrent. If your question is "How do I know that I am gettinom g this from local peering?", I get it from the Peers tab, where the majority of the speed is contributed by a client called "btcache" whose IP resembles mine.
