ZappoB Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Hello,this problem is not particular for µTorrent, it's the same with other BitTorrent-Clients, but at this time I'm using µTorrent: There are hundrets of peers available, but the Client connects only to about 5 - 15 of it, resulting in very poor DL-speed.I've done the settings in the "mini"-guide, I've made the test-download, and they work fine! Also only few connection, but with great speed - that's ok so far. But I wonder, if the speed is low, why don't the Client connect to more peers?Actuall I see the following: Seeds: 2 (105), Peers: 13 (577), Speed: 0,2kB/sI've compared several Torrents with my neighbour: we have the same ISP (Congster with T-Com DSL2000), the same router (Asus 500g), the same BitTorrent-Client AND of course the same Torrent. While mine is loading about 5-10kB/s maximum, his is going up to 200kB/s...What I found out for my internet-connection: I have a maximum of 234kB/s with www.speedmeter.nl - which is pretty good. When µTorrent runs with about 10dn/15up the max speed reduces to 80kB/s at speedmeter. Is this a normal behavior? With standard downloads (http/ftp) i have no problems, just with BitTorrent.Any tips about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spork985 Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 I think you have too many connections, re-run the speed guide (ctrl+G). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 As spork985 says, just run the Speed Guide. Either way, connecting to more people does NOT equate to faster speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZappoB Posted September 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I have 16 connections per torrent and 128 connections global in my settings.www.speedmeter.nl shows 617 connections/second, >230kB/s dn and >22kB/s up. My english is not too perfect... what else could I expect from the Speed Guide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrero Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Did you really use the built-in speed-guide? (Strg+G) ?I assume you have Congster 2000/192, so you should have connections per torrent 55 and connections global 90, upload slots 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Indeed he did not run it properly.@ZappoB: You can expect *proper* settings for your connection speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
