coleburg Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 This is rather strange, when im downloading 1 files the speeds rarely go above 150 kbps but when downloading 2they hit over 600 kbps, now this may not sound strange but I have taken a screen shot and will try to explain what is so strange.The second file that i start never downloads over 12kbps due to seeders, but the first file download rate increases from 150 kbps to 555kbps everytime i start the second download.I really dont understand this and it isnt a mistake, i have tried it several times and the screenshot hows this on 4 occasions.Please tell me how to upload this screenshot for you to look at.This may help you solve the many MANY speed issues of what could potentially be a decent peice of software.thanksHey, I did it, now you can see the proof.

1c3d0g Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 You probably have too few upload slots specified... :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coleburg Posted December 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Upload slots per torrent 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hofshi Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 1c3d0g: why would too few upload slots explain this? his speed is higher when he has both torrents running. am I missing something here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Weird. Maybe you should set your bt.connect_speed to 100 or more... :/Edit: Hofshi, I assumed that if his upload slots were too low (for one torrent), when he started a second torrent more upload slots would be available (since BitTorrent rewards people who upload a lot with great download speed). But apparently this is not the case... P/me scratches head... :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coleburg Posted December 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 sorry im not in uk and dont know about bt connect thing. but surely the proof is here, i have tried it many times since and get the same issue, and whenever i want to increase my speed i use a 2nd torrent. This seems crazy, i was using bitspirit previously which used to download at over 1mb per sec but would freeze my internet every so often, i moved to utorrent which has so much potential but have reduced my speeds when im using the same settings.If i can give you any further info on this issue to help utorrent then ask away because i want this to work well.

Firon Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 There aren't speed issues, just a bunch of dumb users who don't know how to set anything up. And crappy hardware to go along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coleburg Posted December 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 hope you not calling me a dumb user, please explain.As i said its set up exactly the same as bitspirit which was much fast and that I would like to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Coleburg: you don't have to be in the UK to use bt.connect_speed... Hint: I'm not in the UK. bt.connect_speed is in your Advanced Options (in your Preferences). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Not really directed to you, just most of the people in the speed problems forum.Your issue is quite bizarre, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coleburg Posted December 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 oh ok, no problem. anyway, if there is anything you want info wise on this please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hofshi Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 1c3d0g: oh, I didn't know that the new upload slots that come with a second torrent can be shared with the first one. This is new to me. thanks for clearing that up.BTW: what does <3 mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 <3 = ASCII heart ('love')Well, let's start off with the basics: what firewall/anti-virus do you have? Router? UPnP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hofshi Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Thanks... I'm too old to figure this stuff out by myself. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1c3d0g Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Hofshi: that's why I said I "assumed" ...I'm not too sure either if upload slots can be shared... :/Edit: Firon, I thought <3 meant "kissing" (the "3" looks just like two lips)...I guess I was wrong.

hofshi Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 1c3d0g: ok.. interesting point though.How about bundling this "magic torrent" together with µtorrent? I'd love to see these speeds on my connection - lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 UPnP disabled on the router too?And uh, the only thing I could think of is to try connecting directly to the modem to see if the router could somehow be screwing things up. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coleburg Posted December 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Sorry, i meant upnp is disabled on the router.Im not really clued up on this so i wouldnt know how to connect and check if the router is the problem its just that as i mentioned it was fine with bitspirit using same router etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
