namxob645 Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Hi, im running utorrent 1.6 and im having a problem with uploading. Even if i have it capped at 6kB/s upload it takes away about 200 kbps from my internet's total upload speed. On speakeasy its about 350 kbps notmally but with utorrent on it goes down to about 120-150 kbps. How can 6kB/s be taking so much? Even after changing kB/s to kbps thats still too much. please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 How many connections are you allowing in µTorrent?Also, how fast are you allowing µTorrent to make new connections? (The half open connection limit amount in advanced settings)Did you run Speed Guide (CTRL+G) in µTorrent and choose settings to match your connection?

Ultima Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 @namxob645: Measuring bandwidth usage by comparing speed test results before and during the running of µTorrent is not a valid method of measuring bandwidth at all, and that happens to me as well -- doesn't mean µTorrent's really taking that much bandwidth.If you find your connection to be dying while µTorrent is running, then yes, you should try Switeck's suggestions. If none of them help, check for more in the first link in my signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namxob645 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Sorry I haven't replied in a couple days. Anyways im allowing 230 global connections and 80 per torrent after selecting xx/384 from the speed guide and my half open connection limit is set to 50.

Switeck Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Is your current upload speed max in µTorrent set to 35 KB/sec?Because using the xx/384k setting and then manually reducing upload speed to 6 KB/sec could quite likely cause the problems you describe.50 half open connections is almost certainly a magnitude too high if you're only uploading at 6 KB/sec.Even 80 connections at once (per torrent) can be a pretty big overhead to keep track of. Your latency can suffer even if your available (spare) bandwidth doesn't drop like a stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namxob645 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Can u suggest what i should have all the settings set to cause i dont know what i should set them to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Here's conservative settings:Upload Speed max: 20 KB/secMax Global Connections: 60Connections per torrent: 40upload slots: 4max active torrents: 2max downloading torrents: 1If you're interested in sharing a lot then set alternate upload rate while not downloading to 30-35 KB/sec. That upload speed will only be used if no torrents are downloading...so it shouldn't be as hard on your connection.Now here's about the most extreme settings I will suggest:Upload Speed max: 35 KB/secMax Global Connections: 200Connections per torrent: 60upload slots: 4max active torrents: 4max downloading torrents: 3Also check "allow additional upload slots if upload speed <90% max"Your half open connection max in µTorrent should probably be left at the default value of 8 or even set as low as 4 if you want it to use less bandwidth for constantly trying new/more connections.
