NickC19 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Just wanted to make sure I have the correct settings set, cause some of that stuff tends to confuse me and I've noticed that my upload speeds fluctuate sometimes down to the point of a crawl. And for that matter so do my download speeds, anywhere from 50 kB/sec to 200 kB/sec (there's one website I download from that I consistently get around 490 kB/sec but thats the exception).My speed test results are ~4050 Kb/s download and ~497 Kb/s upload. Here's my current settings:Connection Type: xx/384kUpload Limit: 35 kB/sConnections (per torrent): 80Max Active Torrents: 3Upload Slots: 4Connections (global): 230Max Active DL's: 2Use additional slots if < 90%: UncheckedDHT: UncheckedProtocol Encryption - Outgoing: EnabledAllow Incoming Legacy Connections: CheckedMy ISP is SuddenLink and my router is a Belkin F5D5231-4.Are these settings good are is there something I need to change?

schnurlos Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 My suggestions:enable DHTcheck "Use additional slots if < 90%"If the testtorrents (look here for them http://utorrent.com/setup_guide.php ) are good, all is ok on your side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gombei Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I noticed that I was having the same problem. I narrowed it down to Webroot Spy Sweeper. Once I turned that off my speeds are stable and I appear to be downloading and uploading properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoovious Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I'd, additionally recommend, that you use 1 upload slot per torrent. If you need more to max out your cap, the <90% option will add more automatically.-- Smoovious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickC19 Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 So xx/384k is where my level should be? Wasn't sure if it was supposed to be that or xx/512k. Anyways, thanks guys, I'll try your recommendations... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 The xx/512k setting should be ok too, since your upload bandwidth is so close to 512 kilobits/sec.µTorrent speed settings assumes only 80% usable upload bandwidth anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
