Firon Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 on one box I run, it's set to like 2 million, lol. It's kind of a beast of a server, though.But uh, just set it to something high like 60k and see if you hit any limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelFaith Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 WOW, 60,000 ?? OK, can I ask one more clarification to be sure I do it right.I have looked at the other post, and I am again new to terminal commands.So, I open the terminal and su or sudo and what is the difference does it matter?I want to run ulimit -n 60000 <--- just like that?Then restart uTorrent?Simple as that?

Firon Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 it has to be done with sudo, yeah (unless your terminal is already root). And yes, setting it should work, although it won't last across reboots that way, iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelFaith Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 OK, I might need just a little more play by play on how to do this if you please.I tried to do it like the old post with su and it looked like it worked, but when I just checked it later, it was back to the default 1024 or whatever and I am still getting only about 15 torrents to stay running.So I saw on yet another forum how to edit the actual file... but those instructions assumed I knew things that I dont.So, how can I edit the file in the ect/ or wherever it is to set it to like 50000 permanently?And kind of hold my hand on it if you dont mind, and assume I have never edited a conf file before. I have a couple times, but those were pretty much monkee see hand holds too and so I am just not done it near enough to really KNOW what I am doing.Thanks ever so much !!
