mailbhargav Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I use utorrent for downloading and also watch videos online simultaneously. I can specify the exact upload and download bandwidth, but want option/feature similar to distributed.net client, so it only uses unused bandwidth and cpu cycles.Is there any torrent client having this feature.

jewelisheaven Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 uT does only use unused bandwidth (if it was used, uT couldn't use it anyway). It rarely uses alot of CPU cycles. I'm not sure what exactly you're looking for... except maybe QoS, acronym for Quality of Service processing, which should be handled at your POP, i.e. your modem / router to the internet.

mailbhargav Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 As mentioned earlier if you use distributed.net client. If you start using an application which consumes more bandwidth, distributed.net will "release" its bandwidth its using. That way you truly using unused bandwidth. Its small client you can download and check for yourself and compare it with uT. Currently I have always pause the torrents complete my surfing and then restart uT, which is kind of annoying. Or i limit to bandwidth value say "20k", then if start reading an article on internet. i am using only a fraction, which i would want uT to grab automatically. Hope I have been able to explain it correctly now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I understand what you're saying. The problem is uT only knows/cares about what you tell it to. It has no knowledge about system wide bandwidth usage. If you are telling it to use a maximum of 20 KiBps then it will only use 20 KiBps. I think your problem with internet is due to you setting-up incorrectly... Did you run a speed test (Ctrl-G Speed Guide) while setting your limits?

mailbhargav Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 i agree to what you are saying, it agrees to bandwidth limit set and does not go beyond the set limit, but my question is can we make it more "intelligent" about the system wide bandwidth. ie if another application starts a portions of its bandwidth , it is capable of dynamically reducing. Also increasing it once it application stops using. I am not a developer, but http://distributed.net/source/ looking at this source code can help integrate that feature.

DreadWingKnight Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 distributed.net handles CPU power, not bandwidth.It's not practically possible to detect the correct bandwidth consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 In uT 1.8 there is an option (which you can modify to your content) called "automatic upload rate limiting"... it allows uT to keep track of available bandwidth at a specific interval and adjust itself accordingly.
