mezigues Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 i've been using µtorrent for quite a while and I've noticed that the upload speed has become quite slow with the lastest versions...I did a test:I uploaded a torrent to 4 peerson that same torrent, µtorrent reached a steady 32kB/s upload speed and Bittornado reached a steady 100kB/s!!!so I switched back to µtorrent again and... 32kB/s again!no other program interfered with the upload at all times and yes, tahnks, my firewall is fineof course, my prefs are set to upload on 5 slots and to add more slots if the upload speed drops. My global upload speed is set to "no limit"so u see: I don't really know what more I should do to fix this annoying problemI use v1.6anyone has an idea?

torrero Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Run the speed guide (ctrl+g) and choose the appropiate upload connection settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezigues Posted October 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 i did that alreadybesides, just read what i wrote: 4 peers5 slots (per torrent)global rate to unlimitedthis torrent rate to unlimitedno other torrents or downloads/uploads runningthe very basic wizard can't do any better than thatproblem is µtorrent is cool cause it does not use a lot of ressources, allowing us to do whatever we want besides sharing, but there's not munch of a point if we have to run another BT client at the same time for the files we uploadand of course, u have to switch clients for a torrent when it's done downloading and u want to keep uploading at a descent rate!also, if my upload speed isn't optimal, then my download speed isn't either...1 it's a BIG problem when u upload files and are the 1rst seeder (witch I do a lot)2 I would no doubt download faster if µtorrent was able to upload more efficiently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 No, ludde did not, and WOULD NOT sacrifice one speed for the other. So you're mistaken by thinking µTorrent followed "a wrong path." And µTorrent still maxes my xx/384k connection's upload speed out just fine.

mezigues Posted October 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 oops: sorry, I deleted my previous comment before I could read ur answer... because i agree with you: it can't be intentionnal!Don't get me wrong, if I use µtorrent (and I've been since like v1.2) it's because I quite like it : It's just a good client without any bullshit in it and it never interferes with any other applicationTo come back to the subject, I don't doubt I could easily max my upload too on a torrent with more than 20 peersI'm mostly on very private trackers in witch 50 peers on a torrent is pretty rare but the speed are very very high and there are a lot of new torrents everydayThen u see, when you're uploading a torrent to less than 10 peers it becomes really hard to get to upload at the max of what u couldI've always believed it was because the peers had others torrents running, ect... because on large torrents I also max out my connectionand then I did the test with bittornado...ok: bitttornado is real champion of upload and always have beenbut still, between 32 and 100 kB/s there's a BIG differenceI'd really like to get this fixed an I'll welcome any suggestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 By the way, unlimited upload speed means you did NOT run the Speed Guide properly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
