slumlord Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 why is it that i can download at my maximum cable speed off one tracker and my surfing isnt even phased but a different tracker will completely clog up my internet when there are even less seeders/leechers and im downloading at 100k or less?i think most speed / clog issues on this forum are because of whatever reason what ive stated is happening.

Firon Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Doesn't really have anything to do with the tracker.It's a) upload cap set too high DHT kills your router c) too many connections for your (crummy) router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slumlord Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 well, a and c are out as ive already stated my tests are of similar statistics. so on to b. what if dht is inactive and my internet is clogged off of a 35k download with 12 seeders and 43 leech as it is right this very moment?

jewelisheaven Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 To be honest: On any connection (aside from 100 Mbit synchronous) 55 peers on one torrent is overkill.Edit: With those same settings, only one torrent running, try running a torrent from http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/ or http://www.slackware.com/torrents/ for ~ 5 minutes each to see what happens for those in relation to the rest of your browsing experience on that specific computer.

Lord Alderaan Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Download speed usually doesn't clog your internet connection. Even if you are maxing it there often is enough room for normal browsing etc. However your upload speed is a lot less and maxing it out barely leaves enough room for normal browsing etc.Do the speedguide again cos I'm guessing your upload cap is too high.

Firon Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 You still keep failing to mention upload. Your upload is far more important than your download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slumlord Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 oh sorry my upload is set at 10k until it changes for seeding. mysee this is what i dont understand. i got a 3dvd boxset last night downloading it from my 600kb to my max 800kb while on aim (trading bmps and songs) and for about a half an hour listening to shoutcast.i think there were ~80seeds and 250peers for the first half of my dl.right now, im getting something off a different tracker, 17seed 81peer im at 50kb and my browsing is at stage1stuttering or intermittent stuttering where it takes a long time to get images/ads from sites other than the original site.what i know is:alot of the time i get this clogging effect when im on bigger trackers like piratebay.its not my provider because i could switch over to a few other specific trackers and everything would be normal and fast.

Firon Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 What is your maximum upload and how many connections did you set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slumlord Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 maximum upload for my cable? i guess 50kbmax for utorrent is 10k and uncapped when not downloading.4 upload slotsconnections are at..300global/250pr torrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Yea, on that low of an upload, it's overkill.Try lowering to 100 global :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Also you should cap you upload even when you are not downloading because an uncapped upload leads to clogging.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wismanandy Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 check ur upload speed with any speedtesting site that you like, and set the upload to be capped at about 80% of the returned result. Run thew test several times however to be assured a dependable average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllGamer Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 yeah i i've mine set for 100 connections per torrent, i most of the time the highest i've seen was around 55 connected (outside the brackets)so having it set to like 60 per torrent is more than good enough.not necessary over kill, but of the 55 connected at most maybe only 10~15 are actually transferring data.If your router and modem speed allows it then go all out for it, but if you are on a slower connection, or have router problems, then don't as mentioned above.
