Ultima Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 xx/384k in the Speed Guide. Download speed is of no consequence in setting things up.Just for the record: I have 10mbit/s down, 384kbit/s up, and the Speed Guide's recommendations work perfectly well.

trev12 Posted May 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 thank u for the quick reply but i did 5 speed tests and got a average of 295.6 should i use the 256 one instead ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Yeah, you might be better off using that preset. Consider increasing the set upload rate by maybe 5KiB/s after you use xx/256k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 @Ultina: what's your "xx" ? and your maximum active downloads/actives ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 ...? What do you mean? I said I use the xx/384k preset in the Speed Guide... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 in other words, what's your ISP's connection download max ? and what did you set your global max connections # and max # per download to ? Can you try 3-4 concurrent DLs that reach your max and at the same time let 1-2 to only seeds , see if your max DL is being maintained per you ISP max, and does not drop ?

Ultima Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 ... I have 10mbit/s down ...... I use the xx/384k preset in the Speed Guide ...Those two answer your first two questions already. I've maintained my max speed with the OpenOffice.org and Linux torrents, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafi Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 no...no... just friendly questions... and to remind you, I'm head-hunting for candidates to test "my" new calc_overhead flag (with very unbalanced connection)... and you may be one of them ... but.. it's all voluntary, you know...

Switeck Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 "Best settings" also depends on how you're using uTorrent.If you're downloading torrents that are extremely unlikely to have more than 1 seed...and often don't even have that many...then you might ironically want HIGHER per-torrent connection max to cover the 1 torrent out of however many that you get that DOES have lots of peers+seeds.Seeding quickly after downloading may mean you'll want to tweak upload slots and alternate upload speed a little...If the torrents you're after typically download at over 1/2 max of your connection when downloading even 1 at a time, then there's little reason to allow more than 2 downloading torrents at once...but if not then you might want 3 or 4...but for 3 or 4 at once you'll need to reduce upload slots so EACH upload slot gets a minimum average upload speed. Basically nobody likes to download at less than 1 KB/sec, but it's all-too-easy to be doing that to each person you're uploading to if allowing multiple torrents downloading/seeding at once!Max active torrents needs to be equal or at least 1 higher than max downloading torrents.Global max connections likewise needs to be equal or higher than max connections per torrent.These 2 things should be obvious, but are worth checking again after changing numbers around. As you can see, absolute "best settings" depends on more than just raw speed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
