Corpusstalker Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Right so this is my problem I downloaded Utorrent a couple of days ago"had before but have moved since". At the start my Dl+Ul speeds were average for my connection which is 1069 kbps (134 KB/s) 257 kbps (33 KB/s), but now I get the same upload but rubbish download"about 20KB/s". I have tried .torrents with about 2000seeds and only about 100peers to see if that was the problemI also followed this http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=3912But that didnt help eitherSo what do you think will helpAny suggestions or advice would be very appreciated Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Eh? What are you talking about? The link works... O.oIt's a benchmark torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corpusstalker Posted July 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 doesnt work for me even if I try to open it in a new tab it just comes up blank as untitledBut i'll gooogle it now anywayMerged double post(s):Cant seem to find it and the link does seem to workAll I can find is openoffice with one word Is that not a program for spreadsheets and the likesEDIT by silverfire: The now-bolded edit function exists for a reason. Please do not double post.SorryOne more thing when i have one file running at 20KB/s, then when I start another they will both run at 10KB/s or visa versa...i.e start other file and it will run at 20KB/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Yeah it is an office suite. But I said that we only care about the torrent as a benchmark, not for the contents. If it doesn't work, try the Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) Desktop CD (698MB) torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corpusstalker Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Right this is part of my settingsBut I dont understand why if that is the total about of active torrents, why it slows my DL's when my max UL is 30KB/sSo in conclusion, the only way I can get good DL speeds is to stop any seeding apart from the active DL.Still find that quite strange when my uploads dont go higher than 30KB/s anyway.Oh tried "ubuntu" with everything else paused.And speed were fine just not allowed to seed anything.

Ultima Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Why did you mess around with the settings that the Speed Guide recommends? They're recommended for a reason. Now go back to the Speed Guide and select xx/256k and leave the settings alone. No, don't mess around with the upload speed. No, don't mess around with the number of connections, or the number of simultaneously running torrents. Or upload slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corpusstalker Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 but if my connection speed is 1mb, does that not mean that i have to put it in 1mb not 256KB/salso it was what this link suggestedhttp://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=3912 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsillup Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Your UPLOAD speed is the value to select from the Connection Type list in Speed Guide: "xx/UpSpeed_kbps". This is clearly stated in the Speed Guide instructions and in many forum posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Why are you haphazardly selecting what you think is correct without reading instructions clearly?Choose the upload speed appropriate for your connection from the list belowThat was the first sentence in the instructions.

Corpusstalker Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 going on holiday for a few days or maybe more will post more comments when i get back and will read on futherAlso there was nothing haphazardly about it, if people on this site were more helpful instead of being obnoxious "Prix" im sure Utorrent would have a far larger communityAnd that the people in it would be far more helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Yeah and if everyone actually read instructions before doing things (you'll find that you need to do a lot of that in life), they wouldn't "need help" in the first place. We can be as helpful as you want us to be. Not reading instructions just shows that you don't care (so why should we care?), and have no interest in helping yourself first, on top of showing disrespect for the people who took the time to write the instructions in the first place.From what you've been saying thus far, the only problem you've been having was a misconfiguration on the Speed Guide.
