problems

[torrenteer]

sorry, coudnt make a more creative title.

utorrent has been slower lately, just after the 1.7 upgrade. My ports are forwarded, (51215), everything is okay, green, im not sure if ive configured it right though. My bandwidth from speedtest is around 10mbps, and my upload is around 690kbps. (aussie servers)

Upload speed: auto

global max conn.:375

maximum peers/torrent: 100

upload slots: 4

the only thing i have edited is the net.max_halfopen:50

i have torrents that have a thousand seeds, but only manage to get around 100-400 (mostly 100KB/s)

if it isnt too much of a hassle, care to help? thankkkkks

What is your TCPIP.sys limit set to currently (as in, check right now using lvllord's patch)?

How does a torrent from here run?

You have upload limit set to auto. Turn that off and starting at 70kB/s, lower the upload cap to find most effective limit.

[torrenteer]

tcp/ip limit is 50

with slackware i get around 1100KB/s

torrenteer,

Wow, so you now have net.max_halfopen set exactly up to the patched TCPIP.sys limit. Could you please check your Event Viewer/System - is there any recent "EventID 4226: TCP/IP has reached the security limit" warnings?

Not yet mentioned in the FAQ but it should be:

http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=266331#p266331

And remember, net.max_halfopen must *always* be set to *at most* 80% of the TCPIP.sys limit, although really, it shouldn't need to be even that high either in most cases.

[torrenteer]

yeah, just had that today, any way to stop it? (i use LvlLords)

ill do that

thanks

Lower net.max_halfopen. As you'll notice in that thread slipstream linked to, we really don't recommend you change it from default at all. It won't make any difference for you in the long term whether you have it set to 8 or 50.
