TD912 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 My friend has bandwidth OCD or something. He came to me for help.When no torrents are loaded in uTorrent, every few minutes, he sees 1-2 kb/s of data are being transferred, and starts complaining that something is wrong. I don't know what's the cause of it. I already told him it's probably nothing, but he keeps complaining about it.Why is uTorrent saying 1 kb/s is being transfered when there are no torrents active? Something to do with DHT? Just some random overhead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 DHT is an ACTIVE network that runs even when no torrents are running.I've heard it can use up to 8 KiloBYTES/sec at absolute worst case, but normally hovers between 0.5 and 2 KiloBYTES/sec.I don't run it, because most of the torrents I get have LOTS of seeds/peers...or are so obscure there's not going to be any peers/seeds found by DHT either.

Robbbert Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 It happens to me and as far as I'm concerned it's normal.I guess that uTorrent and the tracker(s) need to converse every so often, possibly to exchange peer information and so forth.

Switeck Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 That should NOT happen if you don't have any active torrents OR DHT running.µTorrent in that case should stay 0 up and 0 down...with possible exception of "old" peers/seeds connecting to you and your µTorrent telling them "go away" over and over again.
