stevvi Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 I have a 2Mb down 256k up connection. Most torrents I d/load seem to d/load at about 50-60kb/s when I cap my upload at 214Kbs but today I thought I'd see what happened if I d/loaded a well seeded torrent and my usual stuff. As soon as the d/load speed went about about 100Kb/s my upload speed stafrted decreasing until it got to about 10Kb/s when I was d/loading at 200+Kb/sIs that normal?

silverfire Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Of course this is normal. When you download anything, you need to send acknowledgement packets called 'acks' and that takes up upload bandwidth. So the faster you download, the more acks you need to send, which uses more of your upload speed, decreasing the amount available to everything else. That's why the recommended settings are to cap both your upload and download to 80% of you maximum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 If you download at 200KiB/s, you would be using anywhere from 10-15 KiB/s upload for acks, TCP overhead, and BT protocol overhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevvi Posted November 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Thanx for the replies. As mentioned, I already allow of the 80% rule by setting my upload cap to 24Kb/s. Right now I am d/loading at 220Kbs/ and mu upload has fallen from 24Kb/s to about 5-10Kb/s since starting the well seeded torrent. That seems excessive as it's using about 22-27Kb/s instead of the 10-15Kb/s you mention.So... is there anything I can tinker with to get this more efficient? Are my packets/sckd etc. getting screwed up somewhere thus using more bandwidth to get through.Does anyone else have this "problem".Cheers.

PAStheLoD Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 You should try using cFosSpeed .. a little program, just priorises the ACKs and you can set the priority for the connection of every process and if you enable, it can dynamically do traffic shaping .. so very smart app :]cfos.de Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevvi Posted November 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Heh... I assume that you're the same PAStheLoD that has replied to my questions on the cfos forum! I dunno, do you think that cfos may be screwing something up for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdArmor Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 cFos really doesn't help mcuh with this.. there's always going to be a little bit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killeen Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 I'm getting the same here. I use uTorrent since a few days. Before uTorrent I used Burst. Now, when I download a torrent all my seeds are going down to zero. Burst didn't do this: even at full download speed Burst managed to sustain a good upload speed. Now I'm having realy trouble in getting my u/d ratio right.In all the cases where several seeds are going down to zero I see that there are peers who want something from me, but the upload stays 0.Is there something wrong with the upload routine from uTorrent??EA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironboyzz Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Have Same Here!@ Killeen: Have burst but haven't tried ... uses shadow bt right? Worth a look?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTorrentUser Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 I dun know whats wrong with youall... My uTorrent uploads perfectly. I have it choked at 36kb/s and it uploads at very near 36kb/s every moment it can. I get dl speeds of around 160kb/sI could choke it lower me thinks... but then it would be greedy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killeen Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 @IronboyzzBurst is now really old. It uses a lot of resources: it is memory and cpu hungry. I don't think the program is actually being worked on. But, it did it's job right. Indeed it uses Shadow BT.I personally love the resource footprint of utorrent. It does almost nothing to my system. If only I understand why it doesn't do the uploads right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironboyzz Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 @Killeen: Ok makes sense.Anybody have a definitive answer for this tracker err:invalid peer_id(19 - - UT1172-%F9%E5m%7F%05Z%CAB+%3e%EE)TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironboyzz Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Thought so! Thanks! Funny they went out of their to exclude UT because was running torrrent for almost a week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 The tracker doesn't like uTorrent.And who the fuck doesn't like µTorrent? :mad: Looks like that tracker needs some education... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Their tracker doesn't recognize uTorrent's PeerID. Tell them to add it to the supported client list and all should be well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdArmor Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Or maybe they banned it. I got a message somewhat like that on a tracker where they had banned uTorrent for the ratio problem on 1.1.2 or soemthing around there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Yeah, but that was 1.1.2, that was QUITE a while ago. Abusive announcing and ratio reporting problems have been fixed as of several versions ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdArmor Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 That doesn't mean it is unbanned. Tracker admins don't keep track of client development a lot o the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironboyzz Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 @ColdArmor: No initial ban, was running for almost a wk. Ratio stats fine and mine are 2+ on trkr so no action on my part.Trkr owner didn't even know of UT. Sent him the forum URL. Maybe that will put a jump in for UT support!Thanks for the moral support all. Good trkr, too bad!Still UTing away! Best BT client I've seen!
