Some problem

[alex_xero]

hello, i use uTorrent 1.7.5 and i have about 40 torrents seeding, i am from Romania and here we have Romanian Internet Acces with high speeds called Metropolitan and International Internet that is everything outside the country. If i have a torrent from a romanian tracker seeding, the browsing and everything else works fine even with 2-3 MB upload speed, but if i seed something on an International tracker when i reach my maximum upload speed which is 384 kbps (48 KB Upload Speed), the browsing is very slow even in Metropolitan, by slow i mean when i try to load a page it doesn't load immediately and if it's loading, it's loading very slow. And it affects the download speed too. Now i wonder, is this a uTorrent bug? or this is from my computer, windows or ISP?

Can you clarify the Metropolitan vs International?

Do you have 2 Internet connections or is it 1 connection and the speed varies within the country vs International?

You need to limit your upload speed to about 80% of the max. So about 40 KB/sec you should limit it to if you want to browse the web.

If you are downloading at much faster speeds, then you need to limit the upload even more until you see that it doesn't affect your downloading.

it's a single connection, the Metropolitan and International are made by the ISPs.

For example i was uploading now with 35 KB and i wanted to download something, it was downloading with 60 KB not more, and i stopped all torrents in utorrent and the download speed went to 256 KB which is my maximum International download speed

Its possible that your DNS is hung off the international side of things and then when you max out the International bandwidth, your requests for DNS Lookups take a long time which even slows down your Metro stuff as well.

Its hard to say without knowing more about how its all configured by the ISP.

Invy's reccomendation is correct though, I would simply throttle my UL down by 10-20% of your max when your dealing with the international stuff. That will leave enough for DNS or whatever it is that is slowing down your browsing.

I have to do the same but only because my wife screams at me when I max out the upload and her browsing slows down. But now I have her trained enough to Pause my uTorrent if shes having issues and I'm not home.

Is anyone else experiencing problems with downloading AVI video's/Movies and then trying to play them on Windows Media Player only to find out that the video or the sound doesn't work. I have run into this problem with the Marx Brothers movies and a few others. Sometimes the entire download works and sometimes it doesn't. Is there something I am doing wrong? I follow the onscreen prompts and have put the files into the selected area. Is this a bug that can be fixed by Torrent Box or UTorrent?

Paf, we don't handle that.

Don't thread hijack.

now i think i found a problem, but don't know if it's uTorrent or my ISP.

I was downloading with 150 KB of my 256 down speed and uploading with 23 KB of 32 KB upload speed and i know that the upload affects my download so i decided to limit the global upload speed from uTorrent and i put 1 KB and then after i applied the upload speed went at 1 KB but the download speed went too, that was strange, then i tried to limit just that torrent, the same problem happened, now the question is, why if i limit my upload it limits my download too?

It's the DOWNLOAD LIMITED warning message at the bottom, it's in the µTorrent FAQ.
