Jaiph Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Still trying to get a handle on this new connection speed (512/512) with utorrent. Downloads are fine, no problem, as long as there are enough seeds I run at max (such as it is).Maintaining upload seems to the tricky bit. Ideally I'd like to only have a few torrents uploading at once so that the people I'm uploading to get a decent speed. If I'm not downloading anything this is not a problem and seeding is fine and running full speed almost always. If I start a download though, my upload will go from 50k to 15k in a few seconds. It will usually recover a bit overtime, but rarely get back up to 40-50k.....even if I limit my download to say 40k. This is really annoying. The only surefire way to max my seeding speed is to increase the amount of torrents I am seeding (something I don't want to do), then I get max up and down, which tells me its likely not my isp messing with me.It's strange though, increasing the number of torrents I seed also increases the speed of the torrents I was already seeding! A torrent seeding at only 10k with uTorrent set at say "4 active torrents" will often jump up to 20k if I increase my active torrents to 10.I've tried a million different uTorrent connection settings and also the stuff mentioned in the speed sticky thread (tcp/ip optimiser, patching, etc) and nothing really seems to change the behaviour listed above. As speed problems go I guess this one isn't major, but the main reason I upgraded my connection was to become a true contributor in terms of seeding. Anyway, short version: It simply seems that whilst I am downloading I can seed many torrents at slow speeds, but not a few torrents at faster speeds - a behaviour not evident if I am seeding but not downloading.Any ideas/advice would be greatly appreciated as I am a bit perplexed.

Ultima Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Hm... you did re-run the Speed Guide and selected xx/512k right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Have you tried SG TCP Optimizer from www.speedguide.net...or something similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaiph Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Switeck - yup tried that program.mrnunya - thanks for the link, hadn't seen that thread - I'll check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrnunya Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 it kind of sucks to be honest with you...when im dwn i can hit speeds of 1.75 megsproblem is my optimal upload speed for that is 150 kBswhich means my ratio is usually way out of whack...something like i dnload 30 gigs and i upload 2 gigs when i open up my upload to reach 250 kBs my dnload hits 500kBsbig difference...on a side note i thought i was the only one who switched isps to increase the upload (my seeding) so i definitly give you a thumbs up for that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
