splintax Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 How many peers and seeds are on the torrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kupotek Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I've also noticed my upload speed is higher then in AzureusWhile my download is not lower, but I never seem to download faster then 100-200 kb/s from a 100mb line, and I'm on 4 mb down cable. What could be causing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamerD00d Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 I'm having an issue something like what your topic states... Really slow DL's but maximum speed UL'shere's my exact issue...When I have uploading set to unlimited, my download speeds are around 10-20k MAX... The exact same torrentfile opened with Azureus gets speeds of 400-500k/s. On both clients, i have DHT/Trackerless torrents disabled, so please don't feed me any BS about the algorithm used. Also, I use Az's peerguardian plugin to help block, so it's not an issue of blocking ip's...Lastly, with uTorrent, i have to use PG2.. when i turn it on (nothing HAS to be blocked for this to be in effect... sometimes things are blocked, sometimes they are not) it immediately (without loss/gain of peer connections) drops my connection speed by 20k at minimum (sometimes bringing my connection to a complete stop without blocking)...Please oh please help meh! I really don't want to go back to azureus.. 6mb memory and 150k footprint is too good to just give up on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smackphat Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Cap your upload to max 80% of your upload speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstre Posted November 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 ok its i set it at 22k, but that doesnt help, it just only uploads at 22k now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smackphat Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Sometimes, limiting your upload rate will increase your download rate. This is especially true for asymmetric connections such as cable and ADSL, where the outbound bandwidth is much smaller than the inbound bandwidth. If you are seeing very high upload rates and low download rates, this is probably the case. The reason this happens is due to the nature of TCP/IP -- every packet received must be acknowledged with a small outbound packet. If the outbound link is saturated with BitTorrent data, the latency of these TCP/IP ACKs will rise, causing poor efficiency.Use a client that allows limiting of the upload rate, and set it to around 80% of the maximum rate observed. It can be tempting to limit the rate to very small values. On very healthy torrents, this will not adversely affect the download rate. However, when there are fewer peers you will generally get higher download rates by allowing the highest upload rate possible before saturating the link -- the (approx.) 80% sweet spot.http://dessent.net/btfaq/#speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dstre Posted November 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 i know, i really would prefer utorrent, but no one seems to want to help me and i cant seem to do it on my own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animorc Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 It's not that we don't want to help you. It's more like we don't know what could be wrong.Try a referense-torrent. i.e. OpenOffice 2.0.0 English (http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/)If you get good speeds with that, there's nothing about your settings you need to change.

Animorc Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 The problem seems to be that it doesn't get informed of all seeds and peers then. When I connect to that torrent, I see more than 300 seeds when I connect to it. I'm totally cluless about what the cause to that could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indian Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 got the same problem.. Azureus is much faster but i dont want to use Azureus anymore.There is a problem but i cant find out what the problem with uTorrent is ? Somehow i get very slow download speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamerD00d Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 After messing around with it alot, i decided to thoroughly compare settings between Azureus(AZ) and uTorrent(uT).....AZ had the option of unlimited connections globally, and per torrent...uT did not...I attempted to mimic this by setting my global connections to max at 20,000, and per torrent to have 400 connections (thus only allowing 50 torrents, not that i ever have that many open)This then maxed out my connection...On my HTPC (a measly 1ghz machine) this took toll on the computer a little bit (not so much CPU as the hdd seemed to be tied up) so I limited connections per torrent to 200... still runs fast as hell and no more extra load.Just an idea for those looking around for help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lxwong Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 There is a problem but i cant find out what the problem with uTorrent is ? Somehow i get very slow download speedI have exactly the same problem. My max d/l speed with uTorrent is 3kB/sec. I think this is because Network OK does not show on the status bar and no one here has a clue how to resolve that. Until the 'Network OK' bug is ironed out I guess I will have to stay away from uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H3BR3W Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Like most in this thread, I'm having the same problem. I finally got curious enough to swap from Azureus to µTorrent, and so far, I'm disappointed. It's most likely a problem on my end, but I haven't the slightest idea what it could be. The torrent I'm downloading is achieving about 20 kb/s maximum download speed, while if I set the upload speed as unlimited, it's over 60 kb/s. When I ran the same file in Azureus, I was achieving over 100 kb/s download speed no matter what I did with my upload speed. I've tried strangling the upload speed in µTorrent, dabbling with Number of Connections, swapping ports, and just about everything suggested in this thread. I really enjoy this client, but if there's no way to fix this problem, I'll have to swap back to Hog Frog, and I really don't want that. So, in short, please help if you can. Thanks in advance.

zeats Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 I know this is an old thread, but I'm having trouble finding an answer. is Lazy_bitfield = true the same a s peer_lazy_bitfield = true? And what exactly does it mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
