mike20021969 Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Using the defaults is a good place to start. Apart from that, could you be more specific? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neglecterus Posted October 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Hi Mike: I've begun been seeding my downloaded torrents for the past several weeks for 12-13 hours daily. I'm running 19 at this time. Problem is that downloading slowed down a lot. In addition, with all the seeding I'm doing, I have yet to reach a 1.0 ratio. I am building up lots of points though.

PiusX Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Check your bandwidth allocations could be one is set higher priority causing the other to slow down. Also if there isn't alot of the files to download it will switch to uploading speed. So look at your settings to see which has more allocations.

Also, 14 kB/s for upload seems very low. Have you tried the defaults to see if that improves things?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neglecterus Posted October 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Hi Again Mike: As you have probably guessed, I'm not to savvy regarding settings. I followed the advised bit torrent settings from TD and that's about it. Is the setup guide the option to use for setting defaults? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Ignoring for the moment that 2.2.1 is not supported for security hole reasons, your settings have at least one automatic fail in them. Having the per-torrent connection limit above the global connection limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neglecterus Posted October 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 I used the setting in the set-up guide in the options list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can your Maximum number of connected peers per torrent be 257? The Setup Guide maximum figure is only 125 for upload speeds of 10 Mbit/s to 100 Mbit/s. Choose Your Upload Speed from the drop-down menu, and you'll see the Bandwidth Configuration recommended figures. If you enter values higher then the recommended ones, then you must expect problems.

So now you know the values to enter (although where you got 257 value from when the suggested is only 125 maximum is a mystery). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
