fofo999 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Hello, I did a speed guide and I am using xx/640.My Router is a mr814 so for Global maximum number of connections I use 185- it was at 375 that the speed guide put it at but I read the problems with certain routers like mr814 so I changed accordingly.Now should the max # connected peers per torrent stay at 100?Should upload slots per torrent stay at 4?Global upload rate is 60.Maximum # of active torrents is 4 , is this good?Max # of active downloads is 3 is this good?I have dht enabled and upnp port mapping not checked. My network is green (ok).Any help would be appreciated .ThksJust wondering these questions because of the router !(Ultima) This forum is not insta-tech-support. DON'T bump, ESPECIALLY within an hour or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Considering your now-lower global maximum connections, yes you might want to reduce connections per torrent *IF* most of the torrents you're on regularly have 100's of seeds+peers. If only 1 or 2 of the torrents you're on out of 10 ever top 100 seeds+peers, then you might want to leave it.Upload slots can be left 4, but turn on the use additional upload slots if upload speed <90%.Enable Peer Exchange if it isn't already.You might want to set alternate upload rate while not downloading to 65 KB/sec, if you need quicker uploading to boost your ratio on private trackers.

Switeck Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 If most of the torrents you download are reported by the tracker and often the website you get them from...as having 100+ seeds+peers, then you risk having 2 torrents that get 170 of your 185 global max connections. And the other 2 torrents fight over the remaining 15 connections, running really slow as a result.But if it's only occassionally that one of the torrents you get has more than 50 reported seeds+peers, then you might as well allow the 1 rare torrent as many connections as it can grab...up to 100 anyway.

Switeck Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 I don't know what you're doing torrent-wise so I can only stand by the ideas I already gave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fofo999 Posted January 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Ok I mean for the active torrents active downloads?I tried the tcp patch to 50 and changed settings in utorrent in advanced tab and that really slowed down my downloads, couldn't get anything higher than 30kb/s don't know why.

Switeck Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 µTorrent's half open max shouldn't be set more than 80% of Window's half open limit...or very slow speeds and possible crashes can occur.Really, setting µTorrent's half open max to only 4-6 should get better results on decent torrents with some but not immense numbers of seeds+peers. Making and breaking connections costs a bit of bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fofo999 Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 so leave settings has is and forget about the tcpip patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 It's ok to patch Windows XP SP2's half open max to a higher value, but µTorrent really doesn't NEED to have its half open max set higher...except in EXTREME cases like 100 megabit/sec connections.
