antik 0 Report post Posted May 15 (edited) Hi all, I am on a 100/40 FTTH connection - speedtest.net I sync at 95Mbps and I can download from Apple at 11.5MB/s. When I torrent from my private tracker I can't get more than 7-8MB/s stable even though the torrents have >1000 seeds and <10 peers. If I have 1 torrent downloading it will be @ 7MB/s, if I add another torrent they will both download at 3.5MB/s, 3 torrents will download @ around 2.6MB/s each etc. I've also noticed that torrents will only connect to a max of 75 seeds per torrent - is this normal even though I have much higher connection limits set? I am using version 3.5.5 https://www.speedtest.net/result/9445861740 Any help would be great! Edited May 15 by antik Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although, what I have noticed is it takes torrents a long time to start connecting to peers even though the peers are shown. The torrents will sit "Finding Peers" for 60 seconds before connecting. Any idea why this might be? Also, for some reason I can't download slackware torrents, tracker shows "No Connection". My private torrent tracker works fine...

rafi 171 Report post Posted May 20 >Also, for some reason I can't download slackware torrents ^ You've got serious blocking issue, it is both public and legal torrent/file. Check your firewall or ask your ISP. After that, you can investigate the 60 min thing... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antik 0 Report post Posted May 20 What firewall settings would be best to use? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rafi 171 Report post Posted May 20 Excluding of utorrent.exe . Not being able to get/download slackware is not possible under normal conditions. More likely your ISP is involved. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antik 0 Report post Posted May 20 (edited) I got slackware torrents working - I had to enable DHT and PEX. These settings I always have disabled for my private torrent tracker Edited May 21 by antik Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rafi 171 Report post Posted May 21 (edited) So, you've screwed with my settings, and complain? ... This shows, that your system (settings) are still not well adjusted. Check if your port # in preferences is the one being is forwarded in your router, and if open-port test from any internet test-site to it - passes. Partly blocking the outside world from yourself, and still hoping to get fast peers, is a contradiction... Edited May 21 by rafi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antik 0 Report post Posted May 21 DHT & PEX need to be disabled for my private tracker. If I use a public tracker I will enable DHT and PEX. I'm getting full speeds, so no issues there. The only issue now is that it takes around 60 seconds to connect. When I add a torrent it will sit like this for 60 seconds: Then after 60 seconds it will download as per normal: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can try changing these two: pref.->general -> pre allocate all files - unchecked pref.-> advanced -> bt.connect_speed = 10 Also confirm - pref.-> advanced ->diskio.no_zero = default (true).

I tried these, same issue. I had pre allocation checked as when I used your settings I was getting a disk overload error. So I followed an online guide and changed a few settings which solved my disk overload issue, one of which was pre allocation of files. The other settings were changing diskio.use_partfile to False and enlarging the Base Cache to 1024MB. Would any of these settings fix the 60 seconds connection delay? - https://appuals.com/utorrent-disk-overloaded/ Edited May 21 by antik Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both your changes are not needed, plus pre-allocation - can cause delays, and I am against these. Per #2 in your list (which I agree to...) - use the latest release from my link ...

rafi 171 Report post Posted May 21 Can you check if this delay happens for you with the slackware torrent (+DHT/PEX ) too ? I've noticed a new setting: advanced setting : magnet.download_wait - 60 ... which "doesn't work" for me... Maybe it works for you for some reason...

antik 0 Report post Posted May 22 (edited) I am already using build 45660. I tried changing magnet.download_wait to 0 but it didn't fix the issue. Also my torrent site doesn't use magnet links Edited May 22 by antik Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(and with DHT/PEX enabled/disabled) PS/edit: I still recommend trying with the exe I've linked to. Also, uploading a clip of the first 60 seconds with slackware (showing the different tabs) can be of help Edited May 22 by rafi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antik 0 Report post Posted May 24 Slackware torrents connect normally so it must be an issue with the private tracker as I noticed the tracker status is "Updating" when torrents are added. When it finishes updating is when I start connecting. I spoke to the support team of my private tracker and they said the tracker had been updated a few weeks ago which is when the issue started Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rafi 171 Report post Posted May 24 (edited) Well, too bad you haven't provided that extra/important info... Seems like you have your answer... Don't use this tracker... Case closed... Edited May 24 by rafi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
