RedPenguin Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Alright, I have uTorrent 1.6 with one router with the Internet and a switch hooked up to that for extra ports, where this machine is hooked in to.The machine running uTorrent is Win 2k and has a 400mhz processor with 384mb RAM. I have 384kilobytes or 3megabit down but only 40kilobytes or 320kilobit up, but I can't seem to configure this in the speed guide.The speed guide goes from 1 to 2 to 5, or something skipping 3. Also, the 2, makes way to many global connections. Only thing is, that even when I limit the upload to about 80%, the speed can go slow, not slow like I wish it would go faster, but slow like obviously something is wrong.Also, what I don't understand is this. I know that you have to cap your upload usage, otherwise you will kill your dl. That turns out to be very true with my 3mb/320kbit service but the odd thing was, when I had 320kbit/320bit, if I didn't cap the upload, the dl speed was no affected. Why wouldn't it be affected in that case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Perhaps you misread Speed Guide and/or confused the speed ratings it used?It's true there's no automatic setting in the Speed Guide for xx/320k -- which is what you have.But you could take the AVERAGE values for both the xx/256k and xx/384k and be very close.

RedPenguin Posted November 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Oh I did, lol. Sorry about that.Well I don't know if I am doing something wrong, I went with those speed settings.320kB.I have a Network Everywhere NR041 Router and a Linksys BEFSR41 and uTorrent never seems to want to go over 150 now even though I have 384 max kilobytes down. It seems to make my router setup page barely work also. I only give less then 200 or less then 100 connections and have peer guardian so what is killing the connection so much?

Ultima Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I'd say your connection type is 384kbit up... so do select that in the Speed Guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Choose the xx/384k setting, but then manually change the upload speed to 32 KB/sec. Alternate upload speed while not downloading you can make as high as 35 KB/sec if you want.Download speed is severely impacted when uploading amounts are overloading the upload side significantly. With a slight overload, you might still reach 50 KB/sec download speeds...but with a severe upload overload, you may only see 5 KB/sec download speeds.

RedPenguin Posted November 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 what am I supposed to set the MTU to? I told my router as part of an expirment to not set the default MTU and manaually told it 1500, and I swear, my network is way healthier and that is the only thing I changed, my router's setup page no longer freezes. Also the web is faster also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Big packets at 1500 byte size is easier to manage router-wise than lots of 500 byte and smaller packets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
