epoxx Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 hey all,i was wondering, is there a setting i can adjust to connect to more seeds?right now i have a torrent with 310 seeds and 3000 peers, but i'm connected only to 5 seeds, which gives me a magnific download speed of 10 kb/s, can someone shed a light on this?my ports are all correctly forwarded, i'm not using the default port for utorrent, i'm using encryption to avoid trafic shapping, my upload speed is capped at 80%.i tried messing around with the settings on utorrent but they only made things worse.i have a 4mb/364kpbs internet.thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 What settings are you using, as shown by Speed Guide (CTRL+G)?Have you changed any of µTorrent's advanced settings?Have you tried the troubleshooting guide?:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992Does your ISP throttle BitTorrent traffic?Do you have any (semi) hostile software on your computer that cripples µTorrent's performance?

epoxx Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 hey there.right now my speed guide shows: 35 k for up speed5 upload slots500 global connections250 maximum peersYes, i know they are high, as i said i'm experimenting new settings, i tried using the pre-defined ones in the speed guide but download speed actually got lower.i've only changed the max-halfopen connections to 50 in the advanced settings. i've also bypassed the max connections limit in windows xp.my ISP throttles traffic i think, but with encryption on i have no problem getting 400k on various torrents. so i guess that's not a problem.computer is pretty clean, no virus or adware.weird!

Ultima Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 xx/384k and don't pick arbitrary settings. It's ambiguous what you mean by "bypass" the Windows limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Some of the most hostile software towards µTorrent is in fact COMMERCIAL software!So being clean of viruses and (typical) adware is not enough anymore. Have you used HijackThis! and/or Process Explorer on your computer?(...and done research on what they found.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epoxx Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 my computer is completely clean. no nothing whatsoever. i don't install useless stuff or click the usual 'jennifer anniston nude.exe' email. it's a gaming computer.by bypass windows limit i mean bypass the 10 concurrent connections imposed by SP2.i guess i'll try xx/384k out, i have already tried it and didn't like, but i'll try longer this time.

scratchie Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Some of the most hostile software towards µTorrent is in fact COMMERCIAL software!So being clean of viruses and (typical) adware is not enough anymore.Is there a list somewhere of commercial software that interferes with utorrent?

Switeck Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Search these forums for threads mentioning the software you have installed, chances are you'll find 10+ for each. ...And at least 1 will confirm or deny if almost anything conflicts with µTorrent.
