liquidmonkey Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 although my speeds are quite good (can DL 1.4MB/s from any private tracker) i'm wondering about the whole connecting to peers thing. i use utorrent and my firewalls, modem and so on are all setup properly so no worries there.ex1. if 'super latest cool movie.torrent' has 3467 seeds and 4442 peers my connection will look like this... 24(3467) 28(4442).why can't i get something a bit better like... 2600(3467) 3098(4442)?? is that even possible??this has been bugging for a loooong time and i fail to understand why utorrent cannot connect to thousands of peers for one torrent.right now the...'global max of connections' = 200'max connected peers per torrent' = 40will changing these numbers to thousands make a difference at all?'dht' is off'UPnp port mapping' is on'NAT-PMP port mapping' is onsorry if this was already answered, did a search and found nothing to satisfy me.

Connecting to thousands of peers would simply kill your connection, either by protocol overhead, or by simply crushing the capabilities of your connection's hardware.

ajones81 Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Who cares anyway how many seeds/peers you connect to? What's imp. is the speeds that you get. A torrent with less seeds/peers may often download much faster than one with more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
