godfather830 Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Hi,Utorrent was workking fine up until a week ago or so. Every time I open it now, nothing really downloads anymore. There's a huge number of seeders, but I either don't connect to any of them, or to very few of them, like 1 out o 600 for example. Even then, I'd download at slow rates, and it eventually stops.Is there anything wrong with my settings? Why is this happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/index.htmlTry a torrent from here -- how does it run? Are you still getting a green light in the status bar for network status? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godfather830 Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Ultima, the torrent you gave me was downloading at an incredible speed!it reached 200 kb/s, never been so fast with me before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godfather830 Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 and I was connecting to the peers normally and quickly without any problem. So why aren't the others working so well?May it have to do with the seeders/downloaders ratio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 It's probably your settings causing problems.Post your Speed Guide (CTRL+G) settings as well as any advanced settings you changed.Include your connection's rated (and tested) speeds if you know it.

Switeck Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Lower both the max active torrents allowed at once and upload slots per torrent...by a LOT!Here's my suggested settings:upload limit 65 kb/supload slots: 3connections per torrent 50global connections 200max active torrents: 10max active downloads 3Also allow more upload slots if <90% upload speed checked.Under advanced settings, there's something you can check so slow seeding and slow downloading torrents DON'T count against max active torrent limit.

godfather830 Posted September 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Thanks a lot. it appears to have caught some speed back. I'm downloading at some 10 kb/s now and there are more peers connected than usual. I'm not sure if the change in the settings did the trick, but it's better now and thanks in all cases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
