getout Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 well how can we increase the no. of seeders connected to us. i only have mostly 7 to 8 seeders but there are 20 to 50 seeders for that. so any settings for that..?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoochieMamma Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Most of them probably are not connectable. www.portforward.com is nessesary (for them, and maybe you aswell). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getout Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 but i have forwarded my port too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zixter Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Well I had this problem too. I guess many of them are unconnectable as mentioned. When DHT is ready in utorrent I am sure it can speed up. I know many people are already getting incredible speed already but there are always some of us who can't get the program to work at its utmost potential (even with all the port forwarding already done!).

DreadWingKnight Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Connecting to more seeds doesn't automatically give you better speeds. If those seeds are already busy sending to other peers (with a long list of peers waiting for pieces from them, you won't get any boost in speeds from them.

slayers Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 I think the actual connection to peers is determined by how the Bittorrent protocol works. You can't really determine that, it's based on the swarm dynamics.You can, however, remove any limitations that might be affecting your system. Firewall/router configuration is a common one as already mentioned. The ones below could also be limiting your possibilities if set innaproprietly for your system:Global maximum number of connectionsMaximum number of connected peer per torrentNumber of upload slots per torrentThis link on getting settings right was made for Azureus but it works for uTorrent too.http://azureus.aelitis.com/wiki/index.php/Good_settingsOnce you've removed limitations on your end there is nothing more that you can do really.

ph0rn Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 At least with more seeds there's a possibility to gain speeds. Either way more seeds are better >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vurlix Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Connecting to more seeds is NOT better than connecting to peers. It is, at best, equivalent. What matters is connecting to fast peers (which are not necessarily seeds) that can send you data you don't already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getout Posted October 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 hey slayers thx for the settings, it improves speed. but i have a question, is it right to set global max download speed to 0?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeds are only there to keep the swarm moving. If you are connected to 60 peers and only 4 seeds then you are probly doing as good as you'll get. Cuz for every peer your attached too, your attached to their seed(s) as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
