mentesobremateria Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Hi,I have 2megabits/sec download speed and 256 kbits/sec upload.I set max upload speed to 18 KB/sec.Global max nr.of connections 500, max nr.of clients 100.The indicator in uTorrent shows green light down there.When I try to download a torrent the upload speed is constantly about 18KB (at the max), but my download speed constantly jumps up and down. It's like one second it's 150 KB/sec, and in the next few seconds it's 10 KB/sec, then it stays there for about 5 min, then again raises to 160KB and so on... it is really frustrating. When I take a look at the speed graph for the torrent I get the green line in the form of a WAVE! It cannot be because of bad seeding, because there are like 500 seeds, and 1000 leachers. When I click on the "clients" tab, there are numerous clients, but only from like 5 or 10 I am downloading.When I cancel that torrent and try to download another one, I get the same problem.Why do I get these "wavy" download speeds???Please help!!!!
Switeck Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 Probably due to the bursts caused by having potentially up to 500 connections to you at once.Try setting something more reasonable for your connection...like Speed Guide (CTRL+G) xx/256k or xx/192k setting.You may also need to lower µTorrent's half open max rate.Have you tried Ultima's Troubleshooting Guide?:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992
lucas04 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 i have the same problem....my speed is wavy, like from 130kb to 5kb/sec and my upload speed is very very low. It never goes over 1kb/sec. i dont know why i get these speeds. Thanks
Switeck Posted October 28, 2007 Report Posted October 28, 2007 lucas04,Your ISP may be throttling BitTorrent traffic...or their network may be temporarily overloading by the traffic. Or ironically, BOTH!
lucas04 Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 is there any way i can found if my ISP is throttling bittorrent traffic¿?¿?, and if so..is there something i can do¿?¿?Thanks
Switeck Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 Often, ISPs lie about this...so you have to do some detective work.Ask around places such as an electronics store in the area...or wi-fi cafe.Do GOOGLE searches for your ISP, BitTorrent, and Throttling/Blocking/Problems. Chances are something will come up on that even if there's NOT a problem with your ISP blocking due to bad networking hardware/software of whoever is posting. If you find alot of results...there may be a real problem with the ISP.
