RedPenguin Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I have a machine running uTorrent that has a 400mhz processor and 384mb RAM. Now before, no matter what I did, uTorrent didn't seem to want to max out my speed, so I figured to maybe try setting net.low_cpu, to see what happens, but was weary at first, because I always hear bad things about it like it will actually slow you down. I set it though, and now it's like I am getting much more speed and maxing out more easily. Why is this? I thought net.low_cpu normally slows you down not speeds you up.It seems to even be friendly on my whole network. It downloads nice and fast but doesn't make webpages download all slow. I had the upload limited before, and limited global connections to 150 because of my router, so why is net.low_cpu helping so much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Probably because your other settings were a bit high for your network. net.low_cpu doesn't push those limits so hard, so MORE of your download/upload bandwidth is devoted to copying parts of the torrent instead of trying to make new connections.
