newagespidey Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 1. Whats a good upload speed while seeding? Mine range from 25 kbs to .01 kbs. Is this normal? My isp is brighthouse cable. My up and down speeds are 1003/486 Kbps2. I use utorrent. when seeding and I look at the peers column, I see something like this 2(102). What can I adjust to to make myself able to connect to more peers. I want to be able to upload and maintain high ratios. With my upload speed dragging butt, I find it hard maintaining a good ratio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 1> it depends on conditions, but popular or otherwise active torrents should keep your upload maxed.2> to get connections to more peers, you'll want to be reachable. Follow the connection setup guide to make sure of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newagespidey Posted April 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Thanks. I tried all the things in the guide except for the dynamic Ip. I will try that and see what happens Another question I have is whenever I use Utorrent, my computer slows to a crawl if I try to dl email or access websites. Any idea what causes that?I am running 2 gig of ram and have athlon 64 X2 dual core processor 5200 + 2.60 mhz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
css_guru Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 1003/486 Kbps 1003 divided by 8 =125.37 (8 bits to a byte) 80% of 125.37=100.29 <---this is what you set your download speed at. (so you have some overhead to use your browser and internet related things.486 divided by 8 =60.75 80% of 60.75=48.60 <-----this is what you set your upload speed at.lower your global max to 500 I have a dual pIII with 1.5 gigs ram and these settings work for me. People with a single processor 400 should work fine.static IP, port-forwarding and expert rules in your firewall should fix your other problem.athlon run hot i would suggest extra exhaust fans in the case i have 5 in my case and NEVER overclock them. I'm a newbie with Utorrent also but, a pro with bitTornado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Personally, I'd discourage the use of the download rate limiting, as it is known to cause funky behavior with uploading along with downloading. Selecting xx/512k in the Speed Guide is sufficient for your connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
