SymonJ Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 If anyone can help I would be very grateful. I am trying to dl some torrents with over 1000+ seeds but am not getting above 12kb/s. All my ports are forwarded and everything was running fine but when I look at most of the torrents it says tracker offline? Even though it is still semi-dl'ding??????Advice anyone??? Thanks!

Switeck Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Your ISP may be very hostile to BitTorrent traffic, throttling or blocking most of it.Have you run Speed Guide (CTRL+G) and chosen the speed setting that closest matches your max UPLOAD bandwidth? (...which is often less than 1/10th of max download bandwidth!)Are you actually reaching and sustaining the upload speed max you have currently set? (If not, that's an obvious sign of overloads.)Have you changed any advanced settings in µTorrent? (Many can totally sabotage performance, while other default values NEED to be reduced for flakey computers and weak connections.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SymonJ Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I ran the speed guide and my max upload speed is about 1/10th, I am not getting anywhere near my max upload about 20+ kb/s short. I didn't touch any advanced settings. It's really odd as in the seeds ()'s there is often a high number but really poor dl's often not even correcting. Maybe I need to change the port forwarding My ISP is Virginmedia, I have had dl speeds on this connection of 350+ kb/s, it's all a bit confusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 SymonJ,Probably either the xx/128k or xx/192k Speed Guide setting is appropriate then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trigger73 Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Hi there,I have been using Utorrent 1.6.1 since it was released and have had not problems at all, but in the last week an annoying problem has started.When I open up Utorrent it works fine with downloads (blue arrows)and uploads (green arrows), but when the update tracker in ..... minutes runs out (approx 30-40mins), it does not update and all the arrows turn red with the message: offline(timed out). It however continues to download/upload slowly. :mad:Trigger73 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

µtorrent-Guest Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 for those "offliners"; make sure to choose the right value in CTRL+G. choosing wrong values (to many connections/torrents at once) stress oyur hardware to much so the http update to tracker gets burried under BT traffic/overhead.

Switeck Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Even the recommended settings in Speed Guide can be TOO much for unstable/crappy modems and routers...or bad software firewalls such as Zone Alarm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
