JethroUK Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 There must be some way of throttling Utorrent to stop it using all my band width - There are some settings claim to throttle download/upload speed of torrents - but irrespective of the performance of individual torrents, utorrent itsself seems to suck up any available bandwidth I've been using it a while and now have a brand new machine - but it's just the sameWithout Utorrent running i get browsing speeds of :4th 128K took 983 ms = 133339 Bytes/sec = approx 1109 kbits/secWith Utorrent downloading a whacking 35kbps I getting left with browsing speeds of:4th 128K took 22979 ms = 5704 Bytes/sec = approx 47 kbits/secAs you see - this is totally unusable - Only way i can use utorrent is overnightIs this the way everyone else uses it/it's designed to use all bandwidth?P.S. I can't even post this message without closing Utorrent down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewelisheaven Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Did you configure using the Speed Guide (Ctrl-G)? Set it below your upload maximum and you should be OK. If not follow DWKnight's suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JethroUK Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I set the speed guide to half my connection speed (1 mbits) - leaving me half to surf with (another 1 mbits)None of the settings make any diff - Upload max doesn't matter - like i said it's only uploading/downloading 35 kbits (56k modem would handle) - in fact i've never had 500 kbits up/down and across, so 1000 kbits is more than it will ever needdespite alllllllllll that - Utorrent uses my whoooooooooooole 2 megabit connectionI'll just accept it's design problem & until Vista includes a bandwidth throttle i'll put it on a scheduler to download overnightCheers anyhoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Do you have limiting of local peer transfer enabled or disabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JethroUK Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Limiting of peer... was unticked - i just ticked it to see if it makes a difference - Encryption has always been enabled so it shouldn't be a problem with my ISP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 But you don't have a 1 megabits/sec upload speed connection.Try xx/256k in Speed Guide (CTRL+G) instead...if you don't know how fast your upload speed sustained max is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
