ironboyzz Posted November 25, 2005 Report Posted November 25, 2005 Does Max Upload Slots control the conns for Seeds and Peers or just peers (have assumed peers) and seeds allocated as diff from max conns.Reason for asking was to determine if/how to control peers vs seeds because there are times I would rather have the peers. I seen where I would have 10-20 seeds and 60 peers and peers were faster!A perfect world would be dynamic conns and ul slots at torrent properties level! There are times where multiple dls and just need few conns avail for some and more for others along with playing with peers vs seeds.e.g. torrent 1 - dling 10-20 sds / 60+ prs > Peers Faster torrent 2 - dling 1-4 sds / 10+ prs > Nominaltorrent 3 - sding 60 prs > 15 upslotstorrent 4 - dling 20-40 sds / 400+ prs > Seeds FasterWould look for max conns of 50 to encompass 1,2 but not needed for 2,3 and 3 would allow for most peers to connect!Hopefully I explained this right and haven't missed logic for connection settings that are currently avail!tia
Firon Posted November 25, 2005 Report Posted November 25, 2005 An upload slot is just that, a slot to upload the data you have to a -peer-. You don't upload to seeds, they have the entire file!
ironboyzz Posted November 25, 2005 Author Report Posted November 25, 2005 Thx Firon!So my assumption of:just peers (have assumed peers) and seeds allocated as diff from max conns.is correct?
Firon Posted November 25, 2005 Report Posted November 25, 2005 Max upload slots only controls how many people you upload to on a per-torrent basis. Max connections per torrent and globally makes no distinction between seeders and peers. It shouldn't matter much, since on a larger swarm (greater than your number of connections per torrent) µTorrent would drop idle peers/seeders to find better ones.
ironboyzz Posted November 25, 2005 Author Report Posted November 25, 2005 In regards to seeding how will work? ... 100 peers >> 50 max conns(based on prior eg) and 15 upload slot lets say. Will seed have 50 conns open/ing for only 15 avail??
Firon Posted November 25, 2005 Report Posted November 25, 2005 Ok, let's say this particular swarm has 100 peers. If you were seeding, had 50 connections/torrent, and had 15 upload slots, you would connect to no more than 50 peers, and upload to to 15 of them at any one moment. (possibly 16 because of Optimistic unchoke) However, you would not always upload to the same 15 peers.
ironboyzz Posted November 25, 2005 Author Report Posted November 25, 2005 Agree with what you said and current actions....Does this seem a reasonable request??A perfect world would be dynamic conns and ul slots at torrent properties level!Or would that just cause kaos with torrent/tracker backbone.
Firon Posted November 25, 2005 Report Posted November 25, 2005 Well, that's not really necessary, since you're not supposed to run more than 2-3 torrents on "typical" broadband connections, so the global settings you set should be enough... and you're not really supposed to use more than a certain number of connections anyway.
ColdArmor Posted November 25, 2005 Report Posted November 25, 2005 max connections are spread to all torrents, peers per torrent is a by-torrent basis, and upload slots are how many peers that you are connected to that you upload to at the same time.
ironboyzz Posted November 26, 2005 Author Report Posted November 26, 2005 @ColdArmor > agree, i/we were discussing at trt properties level. Sorry should have use max conns/trt.
