few minutes ? what startup connections ? how many active torrents are there at the startup time ? if it's your RSS feeds or DHT - try disable them and see.
@arvid , did you get my email with some more test data on the issue of not obeying the download speed limit with uTP on ? http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=389635#p389635
moogly, for a guy with no basic PC knowhow , an installer that does not locate a previous installation and update it - this is the issue. It might look to him as if they disappeared ...
I had such symptoms too (explorer freezing, using Maxthon, with IE engine, XP SP2, Kerio) . It sometimes unfreezes after a minute or so, some other times - not (or I don't have enough patience to wait). No idea if it's uT related.
No I don't say to turn it off. leave it on, it's doing it's job. I say that they chose to display only the data (w/o overhead). that's all... and trying to turn it off and look at the speed graph should show that.
looks a bit like this one: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=392419#p392419 calc_overhead=off will 'adjust' this... it probably shows net data, w/o the overhead
cause of a bug in counting uTP connections ? ... maybe ? ... BTW - why don't you just tell us, how may torrents are you running concurrently ? and what's you max # of connections setup ? let me guess, you have 400 active torrents , and 350 max global connections ...
> My problem is that this new 1.9 uTorrent doesn't start downloads or seeds only if they are forced. you better explain exactly what you mean. You press "start" button on a new torrent and the download just does not start ? Nothing like that here...
no. but as far as I remember - the installer does NOT find the current "install" location and put it on C: . So in case you have chosen to have all the setup file WITH the old exe - it will not find them and you have to either reconfigure it with the old paths, move the old files to the new install location or just move the new exe to your previous location.
thanks. J, can you try setting the download limit to, say , 100K see if you get the speed to only half of that ? ... I've tried it with openoffice 'test'-torrent... edit: what is uTorrent doing every 30 seconds exactly that spikes the upload ?
here is what I think: the devs don't want people to put it on TCP -only (for 'scientific' reasons, and for 1.9 sake...) so they simply don't tell what the setup for it is ...
More info: 1 upload slot per connection (was recommended due to low upload capacity) XP sp2 TCP/IP patch to 100 originally posted at the 1.8.2 thread (tested with 1.8.2) yes there might be some external limitation , I just don't know what it is . Can you guys test for not having such symptoms ? I'll try one more test - limit the download to 50K and see
