robbiethief Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 hi there,i had all default settings before n i enjoyed 30 kB/s as down and 8kB/s as up, when i changed the settings to up more to xx/256, my up`s are 45kB/s where as my down is just going 15kB/s or so, i`ve a ADSL connection 256 kbps, now my question is, when the the connection is 256kbps i get down`s of 30kB/s and up`s of 8 kB/s, i selected the setting`s to xx/256 then xx/196 or so, my up`s are stammering high as 45-50kB/s and down same as 10-15 kB/s.though i can limit my speed to any file, i don want too, for i enjoy seeding as i enjoy leeching, i`m told that my line may not be symmetrical, fine, but when i can give so much of up`s why not down`s. my ratio is always 4-5 for any file, more frustration is, some one comes with down speed of 400kB/s and finishes and vanishes. help me equalize my up`s and down`s. even when i watch, the most speed i get is from µ torrent, bit commet or azureus give only 0.1kB/s, is that they limit speed`s to particular peer?regardsrobbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 It is always a good idea to use the Speed Guide settings for your line's UPLOAD as a starting point. If you have a 96Kbps upload then it makes sense for an 8 KiBps limit. However did you upgrade your line?? Moving from 8 to 45 signifies a huge jump to ~ 384Kbps upload linespeed.Your upload may not be slower than your download if you have the most % on the torrent. Additionally if you are spreading out your upload too far (> 3 torrents, or > 3 upload slots)... Are you sure you're talking about the correct numbers from Ctrl-G (Speed Guide)? xx/256 sets your upload to 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiethief Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 no. i did not upgrade my line, its 256kbps, speed test reveals my speed as 278kbps and i can download with 35kB/s, as i disturbed the setting to xx/256, my uploads are tremendously fast, my down speed has slowed down, prior to the settings, i used all default settings i.e i installed µtorrent and dint select anything and it was fine with 30-35kB/s down and max up was 8kB/s, i thought of equalizing my ratio and used xx/256, from then my uploads do not tally with my bandwidth, i used xx/196 too, i dint make an inch of a difference, its always above 35kB/s, down never above 18kB/s. i can limit my speed to each file, but when i do it, my down too gets much slower.i want to know if i can do down and up together at toatl 50-60kB/s, why is it only in uploads why not the down speed?regardsrobbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 OHHHH, hmm good point. Do you know if your line is ... I don't know the term.. variable? As in you get 1Mbit to split however you see fit, the less you up, the more you can down; and vise versa? That is my only idea.. can you set upload to 25 and see if the download splits the difference @ 25 or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiethief Posted March 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 hey hi there,i tried to see how it works with bitcomet, first i cut pasted the half done file in other folder, then reloaded the same in bitcomet, i got speeds upto 35kB/s... but it was not stable, i should say this... µtorrent has more stable speeds, now i uninstalled the bitcomet and again tried to install µtorrent, i already existed, i again cut the incomplete file and pasted it in downloads, its currently downloadingbut when i cut pasted it and downloaded the file on bitcomet the file was done 35%, when i reloaded it in µtorrent it dint check the file and started downloading, it showed 32% done and downloading, more strange thing is, first i was able to see µtorrent in control panels add/remove programmes list, now its not to be seen!but its running and downloading too,can anybody figure out what exactly happened here and enlighten me, i`m totally amazed and blank.regards robbie....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................hey hi there,i did format my system and reinstalled µtorrent with all default settings, did not choose speed from speed guide and just used selected settings(default), i`m back with 32kB/s down speed and 8kB/s up speed.will equalize my ratio once done downloading,thanks for the help. regardsrobbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
