Invy Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 I'm going to try and make this short and simple.First let me say that I have my utorrent upload capped at about 32 kB/sec while im downloading. My max upload is about 50 kB/sec... so I have plenty of upload 'headroom' before it is supposed to saturate my downloading.red = downloadyellow = uploadThe screenshot is from a little program called NetMeter that I always use... The distance between those dotted vertical lines you see is exactly 1 minute for your information. Now, if you look closely, you can see a spike of upload right before my download drops almost completely. That upload spikes up to around 200 kB/sec in case you were wondering.Anyone have any idea what is causing this spike of "uploading", and consequently, dropping of my download speeds? I say 'uploading' in parentheses because it's not actually uploading data, but rather it is just network traffic of some sort.It's not anything wrong with my connection, I can say that much. But this is the first time i've noticed this using the newest build of utorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Are you using webui actively at the time...? Maybe µTorrent's uploading to the requesting browser -- this is just a random shot in the dark, as I'm not sure what might be causing the issue.

Invy Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 I have WebUI enabled, but i'm not using it. I just disabled it and problem still persists. By the way, in case you didn't notice those drops in my download is pretty consistent. (exactly every 60 seconds as i've mentioned). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Download drop with upload spike is normal since you're likely overloading your connection when it spikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invy Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 'overloading my connection'? In what way? And what exactly is causing the upload 'spike'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 I thought I said earlier that I didn't know what caused the spike...? Anyhow, when your upload speed goes too high, it overloads the connection and you can't send any ACK packets out, so speeds suffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invy Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Hmm... well, I lowered the amount of connections per torrent and the problem seems to have gone almost completely away. I changed it from 500 to 250.I usually always have it at around 750 on a torrent with lots of seeds/peers. I don't know why this has happened all of a sudden. Seems pretty odd Could it have anything to do with the tracker that I am downloading it from?I would really like to know what exactly is causing the spikes though.

Switeck Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Your other settings are contributing to the problem.Post ALL the settings not mentioned so far as seen in Speed Guide (CTRL+G).I can probably find another joker or 2 there.Also, what is your half-open connection max as set by µTorrent AND Windows?

Ultima Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 You've selected xx/512k in the Speed Guide, right...? And maybe lowered the upload limit a bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
