Starting up torrents with 1 kb/s upload?

[Waggo]

Hi there!

I was just wondering if it would be possible for me to have the upload speed on all torrents I start up in µtorrent at 1 kb/s ?

I have limited my upload speed so that it wont effect my web browsing etc, but I always have 1-3 torrents that are uploading to gain seed ratio on a torrent site I am using.

But when I start up new torrents, I always have to reduce the upload speed on these ( since you cant choose 1-3 kb/s at one click, you have to do the same procedure about 4 times, each torrent) so they wont "leech" of the upload speed I want to use to my designated seeding torrents.

Any ideas to save my poor index finger from more senseless clicking ?

I think v1.8 alpha allows blanket changes for all torrents you have highlighted at once.

...I could be wrong though!

Just to brag about my lack of knowledge: blanket change ? ^^ You mean so that I can just write " 1 " in upload speed, instead of choosing first 25.. then 10... then 5.. then 2-3 ?

Select multiple torrents from the list with Ctrl-Click, rightclick->properties. Any changes you make will affect all torrents simultaniously. Much easier than using the bandwidth allocation menu to be honest.

That's what he means .

If I select multiple torrents, by selecting with ctrl clicking or by dragging the mouse over them, properties is grayed out : o

How did you manage to open properties on several torrents?

[jewelisheaven]

You can edit the properties... I have not figured out what triggers the non-editable fields. Perhaps you are trying torrents with too much disparate information?? tracker/queueing settings etc

[Waggo]

I cant select 2 torrents and choose properties, even if they are from the same site, and a part of 1 file, just split into 2 torrents, not much different information there, regarding the tracker / queueing ?

[jewelisheaven]

On first adding the torrents, they take the limits imposed globally. There is no function to set the individual torrent limits on-load or add. In 1.8 you can multi-select torrents and change relevant values...

Aha, I'm running 1.7.6, so I guess I'll just wait for the stable version of 1.8 to come out then ^^

Thanks for the answers!

i rather control all my torrents at once, rather than 1 by 1

when i want FULL speed, or something alike for specific torrents, i just STOP all the other ones, until i'm done.

under normal procedure, using a Linksys Router with factory firmware (it means it's a bad thing)

Connections limit is aprox 90~100 for the router, anything more than that the router will LOCK UP, and will require a button reset in the router box, even if it doesn't lock up webpages will go real slow, and even worse for secure web pages

Firefox is more susceptible to this than IE, since FireFox uses average 20 connections

So in utorrent i set Max Global to 70, giving me about 20+ free room to spare for regular web browsing and gaming.

then i set the rest for 10 (peer per torrent) and 10 (slots per torrent)

and then for Queueing 7 active torrent, and 5 download

meaning 70 / 7 = 10 so each torrent gets 10 peer/seed and 10 slots 1 for each of those peer/seed

and on the Queue side it means out of 7 working torrents 5 are for download, 2 are for upload

if you change the 5 to a 3 then you'll have 3 downloads (leeching) and 4 uploads (seeding)

guess that should answer most of your "newbie" questions

** Edit **

by the way if you leave the above settings both Unlimited for download /upload speed, then the connection usually reaches 5Mbits download and 2.5 Mbits upload (and this is Mbits, not Mbytes)
