the2989 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 Hey all. I've noticed that whenever I limit my download speed to try to counteract my share ratio (I have to do this to avoid getting booted off my favorite private tracker), my upload speed also gets butchered. I'll set my download speed max to 1 KB/s and an unlimited upload speed, but I can never upload over 1 KB/s, when I can upload, that is. Usually I can't get it to upload at all. Help? I'm using the latest 1.7.6 version, btw. Thanks!
jewelisheaven Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 ... Are you sure you're not doing it backwards? Turn on showing limits under Ctrl-P ->General -> "Show speed limits in the status bar" and post some screenshots.
the2989 Posted January 18, 2008 Author Report Posted January 18, 2008 I checked that box, but the only limiting I'm doing is in the individual torrent properties, so no speed limits will show up in the status bar (I think it works like that, anyway).Screenshots-(removed since I was being a total noob and didn't realize my funfile passkey was screenshotted )Also, I didn't mention this before, if I set the download limit for the torrent to zero, both the download and upload speeds get cranked up. But since my goal is to have almost no downloading while uploading a whole bunch, this doesn't quite cut it. Thanks for the help!
jewelisheaven Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 Err, you probably want to delete and re-upload/censor your passkey to the tracker next time if you have other stuff to show. You know you can use the Ctrl-P -> Scheduler options to upload only? Also setting the remainder of files under the Files tab to "do not download" will keep you from downloading anymore. I see now, you were limiting your download to keep you from breaching your ratio The two shouldn't be linked unless you're connecting to alot of peers (seeds) with few peers... the only way you will not use up slots connecting to seeds is by manually banning them through ipfilter or completion as a seed yourself.That's a nifty theme, WindowsBlinds right?
the2989 Posted January 18, 2008 Author Report Posted January 18, 2008 Haha, I forgot about setting files to skip I am uploading like a champ now. And the scheduler, that rocks, because now I don't have to worry about my campus's computer services murdering me for uploading so much (or at least while they are watching). Thanks a bunch!
jewelisheaven Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 Good to hear. You may want to check out the µManual it includes other tidbits like that including keyboard shortcuts for most panes. I don't want to be a bugger but ... anyone who looks at / downloads your pics can still see your passkey for funfile.
the2989 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Posted January 19, 2008 ^Good call lol. Yep, Windowblinds, GT3 OS theme I think it was (on a different computer at the moment).
