Quane Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Hello there,Two days ago my uTorrent worked perfectly. I have a 4096/512 connection. I DLed with speeds like 420 KB/sec and uploaded with like 55 KB/sec. But suddenly yesterday and today im downloading with max 18.5 KB/sec and uploading with like 3-5. What can that be?Checked everything, used to run with upnp, but I now run without (tried to test if that was the problem). Portforwarded correctly, checked if the port and so on are open, it is. In uTorrent my "Network OK".Haven't changed anything else.Have also checked that my ISP is not on the "bad list". I can download with like 420 KB/sec everywhere else, but not with uTorrent. So my net seems to work good, but now uTorrent...any ideas?-Quane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Yes, this over-suggested FAQ may help:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quane Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I have read it all ofcause I wouldn't ask this unless I've read the forum.Well nothing helped here. But the weirdest thing is that it worked and suddenly it didn't. One of my torrents that I dl atm has like 7000+ peers so I should be able to hit more than 18,5 KB/sec.

Ultima Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 IF NONE OF THE THINGS LISTED BELOW THIS BOX HELP, provide us with the following information...If you checked that link, then why haven't you provided more information? I feel like I'm going to have to use [noparse][/noparse] to get the message across that we need information. Or maybe I'll tell Firon to make a blink BBCode just to annoy users until they get the point.Note: I'm not lashing out at you, Quane. I'm just a bit frustrated that people can do everything we tell them, but they manage to fumble on the simplest instruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quane Posted May 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Hmm I'm so sorry for wasting your time I was about to fill out the info and suddenly I noticed something i haven't seen before. It looks like i'm more of a leecher My download is limitied, so no i will put up some torrents and share some interesting stuff. Didn't knew that i had to keep the torrents in my main window, i've learned something new i guess.Thank you for your time.*off for uploading*-Quane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Download limited isn't because you don't upload new torrents, it's because you limit your upload rate to 5KiB/s or less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quane Posted May 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Hmm okay, well now I'll let it stand with max UL for the next couple of days and see what happens. I have max 5 KB/sec upload when it is limited zzzzzz My badAllright, found the mistake. Didn't thought I'd changed my max UL. But I have . Now it's back at max! So all fixed. Thank you Ultima Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Just let the Speed Guide set it for you... And the first link in my signature did say to do this. It never said to pick whatever upload rate limit you feel like... Setting it too high (which you might have done) will overload your connection too.

Quane Posted May 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Yea, well my bad I've learned something in these couple of days. My UL limit should be approx 80-90% of my max UL speed, else my DL suffers. So great to learn something new Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Even that 80-90% limit of max upload bandwidth is only a rule-of-thumb. If you're downloading really fast, the available upload bandwidth left for uploading is even less! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quane Posted May 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Can u explain me what i should set it to when i got 4096/512 ? Thats about 450KB/sec / 50 KB/sec (Approx) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 xx/512k in the Speed Guide... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 The speed guide rounds down upload speed in KiloBYTES/sec to about 70-80% of the connection's approximate bandwidth max, so there shouldn't be any reason to adjust the upload speed afterwards...unless you're looking for the absolute fastest you can upload. My advice is to turn on alternate upload speed while not downloading (in other words while just seeding) and set it a couple KiloBYTES/sec higher than your normal upload speed. This is to take advantage of the upload surplus you'll have while not downloading at 100+ KiloBYTES/sec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm276 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Can somebody please ease my mind, this is driving me mad....I have just started having similar problems myself. Have had uTorrent working fine for 2 or 3 weeks (100kb/s ish), but now my download speed appears to be capped at 25k...? It is capped at 25k whilst receiving files with lots of seeds (one of them is 14000).I noticed the advice above about my upload speed (was previously capped at 20k) and i have increased it.Am i supposed to notice the effects straight away or does it take time before my download speed increases again?ThanksSimon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Your connection may only be able to upload about 20-25 KiloBYTES/sec.(Yeah, lots of ISPs claim that's broadband...)So trying to upload faster than your max causes a nasty overload which kills your download speed.

sm276 Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 No worries, it has speeded up again now.Cheers anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
