hdfreak Posted February 6, 2016 Report Posted February 6, 2016 3.4.5 build 41712 seems broken. 3.4.5 build 41372 downloads at 100 MB/s with no problems while 41712 hits a brick wall at 27 MB/s for no reason. It also connects to peers extremely slowly compared to 41372. Tested both builds with same torrents, same windows 10 machine and utorrent settings.
rafi Posted February 7, 2016 Report Posted February 7, 2016 The only problem that I can see - is higher CPU load... Consider improving your settings... Sample settings file in here:
hdfreak Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Posted February 7, 2016 My settings are fine. I understand you don't see any problem at 100 Mbps, I don't notice problems at that low speed either. I will say this again: 41372 can reach 1000 Mbps easily, 41712 hits a brick wall at 220 Mbps with exactly the same settings and environment. Unless you can tell me the devs have significantly rewritten uTorrent overnight and by magic the same settings that worked flawlessly on 41372 produce a 75% performance decrease on 41712 (at gigabit speeds, not 100 mbit), there is absolutely no reason why I should consider the recommendation to improve settings.
rafi Posted February 7, 2016 Report Posted February 7, 2016 Right, seems like some regression with upload, not giving enough for overhead. Have you tried to limit it to , say -200K, but set it to NOT limit the overhead? Is it the same with the latest beta (that I am using)? BTW, is your Internet connection symmetric (1G up too)? Which HD are you using - SSD?
hdfreak Posted February 12, 2016 Author Report Posted February 12, 2016 It's the same with 41801. Internet connection is not symmetric but it's irrelevant, there is enough upload bandwidth for overhead ( and some 200 Mbps to spare). I don't use any limits. Hard drive is again irrelevant. Even when writing on them at 100 MB/s while downloading with 41372 they are not overloaded as you can see in the task manager screens. Also, it's the same behaviour on SSD. This has nothing to do with HDD/SSD speeds. The drives are almost idle, yet 41712 and 41801 won't write faster than 28 MB/s and the write cache fills.
hdfreak Posted April 9, 2016 Author Report Posted April 9, 2016 This has gotten so bad in 3.4.6 (42178) that uTorrent has become mostly unusable. 7 MB/s is the new brickwall. Congratulations, I guess. 3.4.5 (41372) is the last good uTorrent build.
rafi Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 Strange of you to say so, since you we clearly see in my screenshot tat it is faster then 7MB/s and the only diff now is my settings (plus internet connection speed... ) I completely agree with you, that there might have been some issue "built into" the latest builds at higher speeds. The devs do to have to "rewrite" uT overnoght for it to happen, just some part of it, and they did (see the changelogs, cache/throttling control). So, you can keep blaming everyone and stick with an older release, or provide details that can help, like - your internet connection speed, and details of your environment - OS/HD. Or... try to avoid getting into possible new issues, using the settings (like based on mine @Sig) , even if just for the sake of pinpointing the issue. I'm curious ifthat will change anything for you. BTW, IMHO, the newly introduced HD/cache control is a likely cause ... so one other test you can try - is to test with it completely disabled (use Windows').
