tokyosexwhale Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 I'm on a site where whatever torrent I download I have to upload the same amount or more.I keep my ratio up by uploading new Torrents but once one person uploads my file 100% my upload speed seems to stop even though other people are still uploading the torrent.I also download Torrents and re-seed them but the upload speed is very slow or it's non existent. A friend of mine keeps his ratio up just purely on re-seeding new torrents but I can't seem to do the same.Does anyone have any settings I can try to boost/start my upload seed speeds?My download speed is absolutely fine and my port is forwarded correctly.Sorry if this has been discussed millions of times but any help or links would be appreciatedThanks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yngmstr Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 after you upload it, now 2 people have it, and others get it from both, not just you, and so on and so on, till you are only providing a small chunk... and you loose all your power as the only seeder...

Switeck Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Have you tried changing the protocol encryption settings?Do you consistently reach your set upload speed max?What settings are you using, as shown by Speed Guide (CTRL+G)?Have you tried this slow speed guide?:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokyosexwhale Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Hi:)I realize that. If that's the case then we both should upload half each. But my torrents just stop after I have uploaded them for the first time. I'd be happy with a small chunk but I get nothing after the original upload.Hi SwiteckA friend of mine changed the setting:QueueingSeed While [Default values]Ratio is <= 999% Seeding time is: (ignore)Ticked Seeding tasks have higher priority....Settings in speed guide:Upload Limit 0kb/s Upload slots 4Connections per torrent 50Conections global 200Max active torrents 10Max Active downloads 10I have Protocol Encryption: Outgoing [Enabled] Tick Allow Incomming Legacy Con.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 You desperately need to adjust your settings to match the limits of your connection.0 KiloBYTES/sec upload speed actually means "no limit" and tries to run as fast as possible...but it ends up bursting and crashing back down a lot.So it's actually FASTER to set a proper upload speed limit close but below what your line can sustain.

Petan Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I have a very similiar problem. I'm on a private tracker and upload my own torrents, but they barely seed at all. I'll see peers in parenthesies but very rarely will they connect and download. If they do manage to connect, its only for a breif few minutes, in which downloads will be very slow, around 1.5kbps then stop. I easily seed other torrents while downloading, but rarely will I be able to consintantly seed my own torrents, or others off of the private tracker.

Switeck Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Are you firewalled?What settings are you using as shown by Speed Guide (CTRL+G)?(ComCast cable typically won't handle more than xx/384k)How/what advanced settings have you changed?

Roy1491 Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 get a better connection or read ML or ic3dog's tutorial, which are here on the forums. i dont know if i can give the link or not.PS: Ultima, can you help me out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 1c3d0g's tutorial should not be used. There are warnings plastered all over the thread saying that it's no longer recommended, and would likely cause more problems than help.Downloading is almost never as fast as uploading because of how ISPs are. If you selected the proper option in the Speed Guide, and it's hitting the upload limit, then as Roy1491 said, the best you can probably do is get a connection with faster upload.

Petan Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Though my connection limit is not being reached, as the torrent is barely uploading. Force seeding doesn't make any difference either... But oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Just for the record, I've seen previous complaints about Comcast throttling seeding. It doesn't seem to be a consistent problem, though, as some of the forum regulars do use Comcast, and have no problems. Try enabling encryption in µTorrent if you haven't already done so.

Switeck Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I'm on Comcast in Alabama.About all I do *IS* seeding, and SpeedBoost/PowerBoost even works for seeding now.My smooth sustainable upload speed is 42 KiloBYTES/sec, though it goes much higher if I disable limits once every 5-30 minutes.

kashyap_sai Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 hey can anybody tell me how to set maximum upload speed while seeding.my connection upload limit is upto 200kbps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Run Speed Guide (CTRL+G) and choose xx/192k...that's very close to 200 kilobits/sec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
