Ultima Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Wasted means µTorrent downloaded redundant data, which is a bit... weird for the values to be that high =| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaoru Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 you have any idea what's causing this high values?I'm using the last stable version 1.6 :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Not really, as the number of hashfails is low relative to the amount of wasted data =T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RsD Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Hi, I am having the same problem here I noticed that the more time it took me to download the torrent the more wasted MBs I am getting.If you got a solution or figured out the reason please post it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsd Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 i had recently 700 Mb file downloaded with wasted 600 Mb - that was due network not working properly (lan on my side) i guess, and because of the large number of seeds in swarm sending bad data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Peers sending bad data results in hashfails, not just wasted data -- there's a distinction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsd Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Didn't noticed it at screenshoot, sorry; true i had lots of hashfails as well. Thanks for pointing that out Ultima Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 ipfilter.dat can ban the most offensive hash fail sources....like all of 38.x.x.x for instance with this single line:38.0.0.0-38.255.255.255Secondly, if you allow LOTS of connections per torrent and/or many upload slots per torrent (resulting in <3 KB/sec per upload slot) then you increase the odds and amount of wasted data especially as the torrent finishes.

RsD Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 In my case I don't have many hashfails(<5), but I've like 100mb wasted for 700mb file and with 3 hashfails it's frustrating to know that your tight bandwidth is being wasted like this, and to compare network issues I found that emule wasted 89mb for 60GB which is very acceptable comparing to BitTorrent wasting.

Switeck Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 BitTorrent can waste a lot more or less depending on your settings.So comparing E-mule (which swarms files in a much more exclusive per-ip manner) to your current settings doesn't really help you solve your BitTorrent problem.So what is your connection speed up and down and what are your settings?(...even the 'lesser' settings matter!)

RsD Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Here's my settings- Internet connection 512/128 ADSL PPPoE - uTorrent settingsUpload limit is 6 and I've unlimited download. 55 connection per torrentTCPIP.sys patched to allow 500 half open connectionsGlobal 200 connections limitNumber of upload slots per torrent 3- Advanced OptionsMax half-open connections 50Prio first and last piece is true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 TCPIP.sys is patched to an excessive amount.And really, µTorrent's Max half-open connections probably shouldn't be above the default of 8 for your connection. (Mine's about 12x faster on download and 3x faster on upload and I've set mine to 4.)Global 200 connections limit is at least 2 times what your connection can handle easily -- your bandwidth is getting tied up with overheads.All this is certainly contributing to make your wasted data alot worse than if you'd used Speed Guide's xx/128k setting.
