Setheri Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 I am on a 5mbs charter cable connection, and the ports are all forwarded and everything, but whenever i try to set a global cap on my upload speed it kills my download speed. upload rarely gets above 20 kb/s for me but in order for my download speed to run at 100 kb/s (the global cap i set for my uTorrent download speed) i have the set my upload speed global cap to 1000 or so even though it never comes near it. Its annoying at uTorrent is basing what it should max download at not by my global cap for download but my global cap for upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Strange µTorrent settings might cause this...what settings are you using as shown by Speed Guide (CTRL+G) window?Please also list any advanced settings you've changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setheri Posted August 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 i have it set at 10mbs, because 2 would be too slow and it has no option for my 5mbs speed. It randomizes ports at each startup, upload cap set at 1000, download cap set at 0 (infinite), 800 max connections, 700 peers per torrent max,5 upload slots, turned off the "use additional upload slots" option,max number of active torrents is 9, max downloading torrents is 1,scheduler is off. other than that everything is default.

JoAT Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Have you tried NOT setting random ports on start up? If you have a router and you set it to random ports, then you are going to have to port forward utorrent each time it starts up.You don't have to set it to default port, just pick a number from 30000 to 64000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nos_slived Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Your settings are way off. Your connection is 5Mb/s max download. The upload speed is probably no more than 256kb/s, which would help explain the 20kB/s max you're getting. Run a speed test, and set the speed guide according to the tested upload speed.JoAT, that's why there are options for UPnP and NAT-PMP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setheri Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 thats NOT the problem nos_silved, the upload speed isn't whats getting throttled and 20kb isn't the maximum download speed if everything is as the speed guide sets it to 5mb/s max (which it doesn't have the option for, only 2mb/s then it jumps to 10mb/s)it maxes the download speed at 30 kb/s at 10mb/s connection setting. and i tried just setting them both to infinite and that does the same thing. And no, this has been happening since before i had it use random ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 You DON'T have a 5megabits/sec connection as far as µTorrent is concerned!The settings in µTorrent Speed Guide (CTRL+G) are based on UPLOAD SPEED ONLY!And your connection doesn't have 5 megabits/sec upload speed...or 2...or ONE!It probably has 0.25 megabits/sec upload speed, with about 30 KiloBYTES/sec max upload speed.If you can't upload at the speed you've told Torrent to upload at...DOWNLOAD SPEED SUFFERS!So you probably need to use xx/256k setting in Speed Guide.Then, to lessen/eliminate your real problem...if it still exists...you'll probably have to tweak the numbers slightly downward. Lowering max connections is almost a necessity on slow upload speed connections because all the overhead from 100+ connections at once overwhelms the limited upload bandwidth!I've read your ISP limits bandwidth for accounts with a high traffic volume...which is another possible reason why speeds currently suck.

Setheri Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 i just did a freaking speed test -.- its 5mb/s download, 1mb/s upload (don't ask me i just ran the test) and it doesn't freaking matter what i set it to its still freaking throttling the damned download speed at 1mb/s setting to 1kb/s now on dattebayo torrents which normally run 300+ if i turn the upload cap all the way up.EDIT:and yes the port i am using is open and the icon is green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Then you should choose xx/1mbit in Speed Guide.NOT xx/10mbit or even xx/2mbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
