Correct Settings for 10Mbit/s Down and 1 Mbit/s Up Internet?

[Guest]

Hi and thanks for this excellent client.

I am trying to optimize uTorrent client to be able to use max of my internet connection.

Since I cant find a tutorial I need some help, this because usually my Downloadrate is lower/equal my Upload which is almost always on max( 900 kbps).

You should expect Downloadspeed grater then 1000 kbps with my Internetconnection?????

This is my settings (Network OK) and uTorrent 1.1.3

NetworkOptions:

Port used 6969

Global max upload: 100

Gloabal min down: 1000

TorrentOptions:

Number uploadslots: 1

Max nr connected peers: 30

Max nr active torrents: 8

Max nr active downloads: 8

Global max nr connect: 200

Rest is set as it the defaultsettings of 1.1.3 . Usually I download 8 torrents at a time

Any suggestions?

What about a "Calculator" that can update the Settings automatically depending on your Internet down/up speed and amount of torrents used?

Cheers

The download speed is totally dependant on the other peers in the torrent. If there are no other good uploaders, it won't matter what kind of connection you have, you'll still get bad speeds. You might want to put at least 6 upload slots too, not just 1. The default settings are pretty good on their own too...

I use 5 slots here while running a single torrent. You could go with 10 upload slots, and something around 50-100 max peers per torrent.

Number uploadslots: 1

Me too believes that part of your problems lies here

A lot of clients wouldn't give you much upload if you don't send stuff back in return

Sey your u/l slots to 8 or 10. That should show a performance gain (unless you're really at a torrent with low speed uploads only...been there..done that

Upload which is almost always on max( 900 kbps).

That is a major cause of your problem. Set the max U/L to 70-80%...this allows some 'headroom' for TCP acks to get back to the peers quickly..otherwise(as you have found) the D/L drops to approx the same rate as your max U/L

Some info. regarding your modem/router/firewalls (both hardware and software) would be nice. Have you port forwarded correctly? How are you trying "to open ports"? Are you sure the settings are 'sticking'?
