Garudaa Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Okay where should i start, i was using BitComet before and it was downloading and uploading without problems my max upload speed is around 80 kB/s and when i start BitComet it starts uploading 80 kB/s almost right from the start.But since i cant use bitcomet with alot of private trackers i needed to use uTorrent, the download speed i get with uTorrent is LOTS of faster then with BitComet like 600 to 1mb or higher, but im having so much trouble with uploading, i always have torrents with lots of seeds and peers like i said the download speed is good but the uploads wont go higher then 1 to 4 kB/s or so, the highest i got was like 10 kB/s and i had to let uTorrent on the whole day for that and eventually dropped to 4 to 1 kB/s again.the ports are forwarded and i dont think i have any setting wrong i read alot of posts here regarding low upload speeds and tried most of the tips that i read, but realy NOTHING worked.i even gave up on utorrent with uploading and downloaded Vuze but it makes my pc SO slow when running, i realy want to use uTorrent so bad, but right now using uTorrent only gives me a very bad share rate at private trackers.please help me i dont have any clue what to do, if more info is need please tell me what you need to know.Greets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Even if uTorrent gets the green light, there may still be connectivity issues due to bad networking hardware or software...this could show up as peers/seeds disconnecting regularly for no apparent reason.

Switeck Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Peer Exchange is very useful on public torrents and doesn't require/make additional connections like DHT and LPD do.Does the torrents you're on have peers interested in downloading from you?Does the very low upload persist even in seed-only mode? (by using Scheduler's seed-only mode) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblbogeyster Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 I am currently in seed only mode and yes it is slow.Currently running a test for last 2 days using a popular torrent, Open Office.org248 seeds 21 peers connected.

Switeck Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 The Open Office torrent generally has very low upload speed...every peer on it is being flooded by the extremely fast seeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblbogeyster Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 ...what would you recommend as a test?Beside running the dslreports speed tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Any 1+ GB torrent that has as many or more peers than seeds...and has at least 10 peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblbogeyster Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Alright I am trying a new torrent which has only come out in the last 8 hours.Already 258 peers and 21 connections, only 136 seeds. Availability of 3.98.Average speed is 19 kB/s... oh and it 1.35G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Unless you're experiencing Disk Overload in uTorrent (which should appear at bottom left corner of uTorrent's window if it's happening), there are only 2 possibilities I deem likely with such poor results:1.Your ISP is throttling BitTorrent uploads (and probably downloads too)2.Your computer and/or networking is seriously screwed up. Anything change (however trivial) in the last month? Virus/Trojan/Malware, bad drivers, bad software firewalls, file/media indexers, antivirus file scanners...ANY of those could be causing the problem. I doubt you have a loose network cable, but it's remotely possible your modem, router, or network card is overheating and slowing way down.

DerTag Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 If you are using private tracker's you need to change these settingEnable DHT Network - NoEnable DHT for new torrents - NoEnable Local Peer Discovery - NoAsk tracker for scrape information - YesEnable Peer Exchange - NoLimit local peer bandwidth - NoDont think it will help your speed problem though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 No you don't.Private flagged torrents will automatically disable the use of DHT, local peer discovery and peer exchange on the specific torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
