Ultima Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 no idea im all new to thisWhat the Speed Guide shows your settings to be (press Ctrl+G in µTorrent)(You should already be familiar with the Speed Guide if you read the setup guide like the sticky suggested you should)Disable all my virus firewall and spyware stuffThat doesn't actually tell us which security softwares you're using.NO idea what type off connection it isOkay, but you still haven't answered the larger bulk of that question -- how fast the speed test showed your settings to be.
bmxharo1991 Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Posted July 31, 2007 ok the speed guide show the affected settings to be if that wa ya mean:Upload limit: 1120 kb/sConnections 125Max Active Torrent : 15Upload slot: 25Connections(global) 800Max Active Download: 15I have no virus stuff or anything the thing expired4783 kbps down 1726kbps up
Ultima Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 TERRIBLE settings. You sure you read the sticky? It certainly didn't tell you to arbitrarily pick a setting in the Speed Guide.You don't have a xx/10mbit connection. You'd be better off selecting xx/2mbit and lowering the upload limit to something like 165KiB/s.
bmxharo1991 Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Posted July 31, 2007 ok i did that, i got a UP speed not a DOWN speed and the up speed is only at like 0.1 to 0.8 kb/s
Ultima Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 Lower net.max_halfopen to something like 4.http://www.slackware.com/torrents/Pick a torrent from here. How does it run?
bmxharo1991 Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Posted July 31, 2007 WOW! it going over 600kb/s, however another torrent i download is still at zero
Ultima Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 How many seeds and peers are on the torrent you actually want to download? What is the availability for the torrent?And for the 4th (or more?) time, read the setup guide. Your port isn't forwarded properly, and you need to figure the NAT problem out, which the setup guide explains.
bmxharo1991 Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Posted July 31, 2007 i did forward my port, following the instructinons and it still has the red thing on the bottom. The file has 3(3) seeders and 5(32) peers and no down speed at all now
Ultima Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 ... And the availability for the torrent?Tell us what modem router and firewall you're using.
bmxharo1991 Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Posted July 31, 2007 2.717 for the torrent and said in my previous post im using a Linksys BEFW11S4 v.4 and i believe i already told you i have no firewall
Ultima Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 You told me you had no antivirus, and I wasn't aware the BEFW11S4 was a modem. At any rate, did you set a static IP up for your computer?
bmxharo1991 Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Posted July 31, 2007 the Linksys BEFW11S4 is a router sorry, umm im not sure what the modem is lemme check and i should have a static IP of 192.168.1.100
Ultima Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 That's inside the Linksys's DHCP range (read: that's bad). Set your static IP up to be 192.168.1.50, and make sure you remove the old router rules and forward to that new IP. OH, and change the port you're using. 6881 should NEVER be used. Let µTorrent pick a random port for you in Preferences > Connection (simply click the Random button, and use the port it picks, and forward that port).
bmxharo1991 Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Posted July 31, 2007 ok i changed the router IP to be 192.168.1.50, still nothing. Changeed the port to 35822, slow at 0.1 and still have the red dot on bottom
nos_slived Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 Have you forwarded the new port in the router?Modem make/model?ISP?
Switeck Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 Firstly, that router probably doesn't like lots of connections at once...so you may have to reduce global and per-torrent connections to under 100. Maybe even under 50.Vista has a stupid-low half open connection limit even compared to Win XP SP2, so you may even be forced to use 1 or 2 half open connection limit in µTorrent until you get Vista (3rd party) patched so it can handle more.To keep things simple, you may just want to choose the xx/1mbit setting in Speed Guide (CTRL+G) and then lower global and per-torrent connections to under 100.Your ISP may only heavily throttle upload speed for BitTorrent traffic, so that might explain the 600 KiloBYTES/sec download speeds on the test torrent/s.
nos_slived Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 The BEFW11S4 can handle at least 171 connections.
Switeck Posted August 1, 2007 Report Posted August 1, 2007 Much in line with what I said, if there's multiple computers connected to that router and/or serious web surfing going on the computer that is also running µTorrent...then even if µTorrent is set to a global max of only 100 connections, there could still be times where the router exceeds 171 total connections. I've seen single webpages that have so many side-ads and cross-links that they actually briefly open about 20 connections at once before completely loading.
