Lord KiRon Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Basically it goes like this :- If I in "Options"->Preferences"->"BitTorrent" change either "Global maximum number of connections" or "Maximum number of connected peers per torrent" and hit "OK"The upload speed goes way down , my max is 65kbps and it goes down to 0-3kbps.It does not metter if numbers I change up or down and I have patched XP SP2 TCP/IP stack with 1000 connections allowed.After uTorrent restated it goes full speed up again.(Using XP connected to LinkSys router in DMZ + KPRF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnurlos Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Try CTRL+G, make a Speed Test, and you will see that 1000 connections in Windows are too much.Normaly a value of 50 would be enough ... as FAQ says: http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#Does_.C2.B5Torrent_work_well_on_Windows_XP_SP2_systems_with_an_unpatched_TCPIP.SYS.3FSo it doesn't wonder if your speeds go down :/So thats not a bug, its a "user mistake" ...

Lord KiRon Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I don't see the logic , there is no such thing as too much , may be it's too much to set 1000 connections in uTorrent (which I don't I use 200) but in Windows ... the default was 10,000 before SP2.Anyway, it seems to be some speed problem with 1.6.1 anyway , so I reported it @speed section now.

DreadWingKnight Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 More connections = more protocol overhead.You may think that there is no such thing as too much, but you have to realize that each additional connection you open is additional strain on your system.Additionally, some routers don't like even a medium-high number of connections (some start puking over about 60).More isn't better.

Lord KiRon Posted February 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 You are in error here .Not "more connections" but "more allowed connections" see the difference ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
