PBAsydney Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 What is causing this? I never seem to connect to any peers or seeders, most of the time only 1-5Plus, sometimes the incoming connection marker is yellow, and sometimes green, even with the same port, is it possible that my router is randomly opening or closing ports?edit: This seems to be a problem with µtorrent only, Azureus works fine, but I prefer µtorrent, Az. tends to hog all my RAM.

Ultima Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 What does the Speed Guide show your settings to be? What firewall are you using? And alternating network status light color doesn't mean much, and is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 connections(per-torrent) 1000connections(global) 8000What are you trying to accomplish with these ridiculously high settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Crazy!You're wanting to connect to potentially 1000 connections PER torrent, but only willing to upload to 1 of them (upload slots=1). Sadly, even if you have the "use additional upload slots if upload speed is <90%" checked, that won't work very well!If you actually got so many connections at once, your line will be overloaded just trying to KEEP these connections rather than getting any useful speeds from them. This is why BitTorrent clients don't make any great effort to connect to 100's of ips at once. Even beyond about 20 connections per torrent, each additional bunch of connections tends to increase download speeds less and less...and may even DECREASE it!One of the reasons many people see download speed increases when they increase their max connections is because they're not uploading very fast. The peers they're connected to have very little reason to reward them if they're not uploading much (or anything!) to them, so they only occassionally upload to them. If everyone allows lots of connections, (especially with low upload speeds!) then everyone's download speeds will be low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Use the Speed Guide, pick your upload in kbit/s, leave it alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
