ukb007 Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Hi.1. Job 1 - uTorrent is uploding a torrent at, say, port 56056. 2. Job 2 - I start a second upload from File > Create New Torrent, and it starts uploading. 3. Job 3 - Now I start a download, in the same uTorrent. 4. All three files show up in uTorrent's window. 5. The port number remains the same at Options > Preferences > Connections > Port used for incoming connections. All three jobs are using the same port number 56056.In BitTornedo, one has to open a separate copy of the client for each download job. The port number varies in each. uTorrent can handle multiple jobs in one opened copy of the client. Is that a problem? Shouldn't we have a different port for each torrent file - whether being uploaded or downloaded?Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBear Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Why do something that isn't required.I have a 3000/800 ADSL connection and I can max it out with µTorrent using only a single port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 If it were a problem, the major clients wouldn't have moved toward single-port cores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Switching to one port per torrent is not progress.Even BitTornado's Launchmany proves that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukb007 Posted September 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Thanks, friends. I think I can safely deduce from your posts that one port cab handle uploads and downloads of more than one file at a time. Is there a limit - to the number of files or to data flow (in either direction) per second?Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBear Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 I've had 10 active torrents on my connection. There were no issues preventing more, but my upload bandwidth was being spread too thin for my liking. Maybe some of the uber-pipe users can offer better examples.

Ultima Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Gigabit lines reportedly work fine with µTorrent. 100mbit lines definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
