Upload problems

[Klaus_1250]

In the most recent versions of uTorrent, I'm having problems uploading.

My line is 122KB/s up 516KB/s down max, and I usually set p2p-apps to 80-100KB/s up. Cfos 4.xx is used for traffic shaping, making sure the line doesn't get clogged.

With uTorrent 1.6.1, no problem. I can upload at 80 or 100KB/s and download with speeds over 200KB/s. With 1.7.x (currently 1.7.5), uploadspeeds never go above 60KB/s and usually end up at ~50KB/s. No matter what settings I try. The odd thing is that when I set speeds to Automatic, I get almost a straight line at 50KB/s up. Back to uTorrent 1.6.1 and I have full upload capacity again. Same goes for other p2p apps (eMule, Forstwire, Shareaza), uploading 80 or 100KB/s and downloading is no problem.

After looking in the Advanced Settings, I noticed the bt.auto_ul_ settings. I've tried to change using the info in the uTorrent user Manual, but no luck. Even if I set bt.auto_ul_min to 81920, uTorrent keeps uploading at a meager 50KB/s.

Is there any setting I can change that reverts the uploading bahavior in 1.7.5 back to that of 1.6.1? Can I turn off the Auto Uploading completely?

auto UL is the "automatic" checkbox in the Connection section of the prefs.

Have you got a firewall?

[Klaus_1250]

No firewalls (CFos firewall is also not activated). Connecting through a WRT54G with DD-WRT. Tried with both Automatic on and off. With on, there was a clear line at 50KB/s, with it turned off, there was a less defined line, but still around 50KB/s.

Going down memory-line, the first time I saw the automatic checkbox (somewhere in the 1.7-series), I tried it and it worked OK, e.g. it set itself around 100KB/s. Guess I'll try a few older versions in the 1.7 series to see what their behaviour is.

Will report back...

And um... Don't use kb or KB or whatever.

WRite it out. Kilobit. Kilobyte. Because 512kbit/s is only a theoretical max of 64kbyte/s, so it seems to me like 1.7.2 is getting pretty close to the max.

Just as a note, bt.auto_ul_min doesn't tell µTorrent what the lowest upload rate should be; it determines the lowest max upload rate to set. That means it won't force upload rates to be at least bt.auto_ul_min; it simply means that if the tested upload rate is lower than bt.auto_ul_min, it'll use bt.auto_ul_min as the max upload rate limit instead of the sampled speed.
