Ultima Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 You're connected to WAY too many peers. Run the Speed Guide properly and select your upload speed. You're NOT supposed to be connecting to every single seed/peer in the swarm, besides the fact that it's impossible anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gongo Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I've not understood (my english is so poor).My setup was 70K Download / 10K UploadNow I've changed to 65K Download / 15K upload (I need a rest for my wife's PC )The Speed Guide is a program? I've read the Config Guide and I have the right setings.I've read in another post that with "Encryption" should download better, or with best speed (I never get 65k in total!!!)Thanks in advance and sorry again.

Ultima Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 The Speed Guide is the dialog that pops up when you press Ctrl+G in µTorrent. You should be selecting xx/96kbps in the Speed Guide. Once again, you do NOT need to be connecting to every peer, and should NOT be connecting to every peer. By selecting xx/96kbps in the Speed Guide, you will be connecting to even LESS peers than before, but it is a much better setting for your connection.

Gongo Posted January 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Thank you.The last question (promise): for 1mb cable connection, with setup may be the best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Er... download speed is irrelevant, only upload speed is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
com64 Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I'm having a similar problem - I just downloaded openoffice at 450k (120MB in 5 minutes *grin*) yet other downloads sit there connected to 6(158) seeds and 55(909) peers and come in at about 20k. Changing max global connections, max connected peers per torrent and turning encryption on/off doesnt seem to make any difference. If I start any more than ONE SINGLE torrent at a time, they choke and I get next to nothing come in (4 torrents sit around 0.2k each)'Max connected peers per torrent' - does this mean max connections per torrent (seeds & peers) or just peers?Ultima - you say 'Gongo' is connected to way too many peers - is there a way to limit peer connections and have as many seeds connected as possible?My connection speed is max/128 and I get about 4100kbit/s down from www.speedtest.net on a local test...Any help/hints much appreciated.

Switeck Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 If you don't know what your max upload is, then µTorrent is likely not running optimally. µTorrent needs to be set based on your upload speed max (or lower than that) to run well.Max connections per torrent is probably what's meant. And that's seeds+peers.It is not uncommon on "ordinary" torrents (which OpenOffice isn't ) to only be downloading slightly faster than you are uploading. This is because it all has to balance out and many downloaders leave quickly after becoming a seed. The tracker gets a report that they're a seed, but they're already gone and you can't connect to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
