Question on IP throttling

[Swurveman]

I am currently running 3 Torrents with 2 Seeds and 8 Peers. My router is DD-wrt v23 SP2. I am using the recommend low number of connections and half_open requests

and Maximum Ports: 4096 TCP Timeout (s): 300 # UDP Timeout (s): 300

I am getting a lot of "no such torrent" information.

Is the "no such torrent" situation a case of throttling by Comcast. Or, are they I need to filter them?

Thanks for any info/recommendations.

The "No such torrent" is a torrent you've previously had running but removed or otherwise stopped. These peers haven't caught up to that.

[Swurveman]

Thanks DreadWingKnight.

I have a question about this. I was the original seed for a torrent that was uploaded to a private tracker and I did the initial seeding. I loaded the torrent again this morning, because my three torrents weren't uploading and only one was downloading. I stopped the reloaded torrent, because it was downloading, not uploading.

My question is: Why was it downloading to a folder that was the original folder of the original uploaded tracker?

[DreadWingKnight]

Making a torrent is handled differently from downloading a torrent. When reloading the torrent, you need to point it at the correct folder. uTorrent does not handle that automatically.

[Swurveman]

Thanks again DreadWingKnight.

At the risk of you sending me to a link. :-)

I get blazing speeds 300 KB when I download the open office/slackware torrents, but I am getting very slow speeds for a current torrent that has 1 seed and 2 peers. I want to know what the maximum download speed I am limited to by the seed and the two peers. Is there a possible way to do calculate this?

I know low seeds and peers slow download speeds, but I like to understand the possibilities.

Hope you don't mind me asking.

Thanks.

The number of seeds and peers don't necessarily have a direct impact on the speeds you get.

There is no concrete answer to your question, because there is no "etched in stone" number for a connection's upload speed.
