xmodderx Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Hey everyone, yes I know this has been asked before, but it has had no successful answer, especially in my circumstances...I have the latest release of Utorrent, my settings are xx/ 384kUpload, 35 kB/sUpload Slots, 4Connections 80Connections (Global) 230Max Active Torrents 3Max Active Downloads 2This is bang on according to SpeedTest.net's results for my network! I have the lvlLord patch installed to default 50, I have tried about 20 different tracker's and all after about 20seconds come up with the same error. They get downloading at about 20kB/s but still, it shouldn't disconnect me. As I said, this isn't just one tracker, it's every tracker I try! Some last longer than other's, but only for seconds! I don't know what to do, please help because it prevents me from downloading over-night. The only current fix is to restart Utorrent, but after 20 seconds it happens againPlease get back quick and help me!Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 What is your net.max_halfopen set to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmodderx Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 50, The only reason the connection is at xx/ 384 currently is because my internet is on a go slow, it's usually at xx 2Mbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Set the net.max_halfopen back to the default. You don't get any speed benefit from having it higher and just cause problems instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmodderx Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Okay thanks DWK, but what does it actually do then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 It attempts to increase the rate at which new connections are made, but the effectiveness of such increases are minimal in the first 2 minutes of a torrent and completely nonexistent after that.Additionally, if your client can accept incoming connections, you don't need to make many outgoing connections at all to get peer connections.

xmodderx Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Ah. Okay I think I get the jist now, and thanks by the way, I worship you now lol because my speed has gone from about 20 kB/s to about 140 kB/s after altering that...Cheers for the help anyway, YOU RULE!Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
