Neighbor Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 I'm currently seeding 2 torrents. The problem is that my actual upload speed never reaches my max upload setting of 20kB/s, but always stays at 14kB/s at best. There's a third, finished torrent is in the list, too, but has been stopped by me. Funny thing is: if i start that one as well, it'll upload at 22kBps. Looks like a bug to me.My settings:max. upload: 20kBps-only seeding: 22kBpsmax down: unlimitedmax. active torrents: 3max active downloads: 2upload slots per torrent: 2CheersDan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Increase the number of upload slots per torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neighbor Posted December 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Increase the number of upload slots per torrent.Even if that helped (which it doesn't), that would just be a work-around. I like my bugs fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 It ain't a bug, you can only upload so much to 2 people, especially when they're downloading from other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neighbor Posted December 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 It ain't a bug, you can only upload so much to 2 people, especially when they're downloading from other people. You can't be serious. Are you telling me there's a hardcoded limit inside µtorrent? Azureus (yeah, yeah....) has no problem like that.Oh. And don't roll your eyes at me like i'm some kind of idiot. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Neighbor: you've misunderstood Firon. He's saying that the other 2 people have probably saturated their download capacity, hence why you couldn't upload more data to them (assuming there are more seeds in the swarm). There is no hard-coded limit in µTorrent AFAIK, hell, some people with fat pipes have even uploaded well past 1 megabyte per second... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can let it run all day long and never exceed 14kBps. That just doesn't seem right to me.I forgot to mention that i got the "open more UL-slots if upload <90%" setting enabled as well. Currently i'm uploading to 3 users on each of those 2 torrents. But still no more than 14kBps. o_OHasn't anyone tried the settings i mentioned in my initial post in order to confirm what i reported? If someone can tell me that they can't reproduce it, i'll shut up right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 What's the maximum upload speed your ISP issued you (in kilobits)? :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShAQ Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Similar problems here. I am currently collecting problems. One of my problems is that a torrent with superseed uploads only up to 99.9% to the other. Then you have to disable superseeding to create new 100% sources! Also, µtorrent does not connect to all available peers (see my other posts). And finally, uploadspeed isn't matched - nearly all the time. All this compared to Azureus with the same settings!Just have a look to my other posts.Best regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 ShAQ: 1.) Yes, I think Ludde's aware of the 99.9% Super-Seeding problem since it's been mentioned plenty of times.2.) µTorrent does not have to connect to all peers/seeds to get a good speed. Connecting to too many seeds/peers will just harm the warm if you can't deliver (upload to them) as well. :|3.) Same problem as our friend Neighbor here. I'm still uncertain as to what is causing it...But all the time? I can let it run all day long and never exceed 14kBps. That just doesn't seem right to me....Maybe you're connected to 2 dial-up users, they won't ever reach your 20 kB/s. I don't know, this is a strange problem. Are you sure your ISP isn't throttling down your port? :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think all of them are dial-up users.Like i said before, Azureus doesn't have the same problem with the same settings. So i'm pretty sure it's not because of my ISP playing tricks on me. They even advertized with "no port-throttling" and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Hmm..then there's some obscure setting somewhere that's preventing you from uploading at full speed. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 192 is an odd rate for uploads. Im assuming its kbits, which translates into 24KB/s. Raising your Upload slots should definitly work, something around 4-5 (Its not a workaround, Its how the protocol works, more upload slots means more people downloading from you at once, not everyone might be able to use your full upload speed with protocol overhead and such).

Been using these settings like forever with Azureus and had no problem meeting my maximum upload. And there's no "increase UL-slots if UL<90%" setting there, as we all know.So, basically, i got one question: is there a chance someone might take my problem serious and try it themselves, or will everyone (except 1c3d0g) keep telling me it's all my fault?It'd be ok though. I'll just switch back to Azureus.CheersDan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 I've gotten my full upload speed (54 KB/s) with one torrent and 4 slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 If you retain that certain attitude, i think we would be better off if you returned to Azureus and complain to them on various matters. It's not were not trying to help, And its definitly not like we owe you anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceselb Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 1.3 uploads more than previous versions, but still can't fill my upload. With bittornado as I used previously, it took 4-5 torrents to get to my limit 900-950kbytes/s upload. No matter what I do it never goes above 700-750 with utorrent (Done a lot of testing: 5-25 open torrents, 100-unlimited global connections, 10-50 slots per torrent, additional slots if below 90% on and off)perhaps make it even more agressive (or have an option to do so).

Firon Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Well, I know some other clients report pretty inaccurate speeds (like bitcomet showing 1.8MB/s for a 10mbit user, when 10mbit = max 1.22 MB/s), so is it possible that's what is happening?Did you set an upload cap in µTorrent? Try setting that to your actual maximum and see if you get any notable difference (and use more slots or something, I don't know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceselb Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 I don't think so, bittornado seemes accurate, only client I tried that filled my pipe (azureus, ABC, bitcomet, mainline and shareaza all had the same problem).I have it capped at my max speed already.I'll jut have to continue experementing, utorrent is still the best.
