dexterdoo Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Seeds Peers Down Speed1 (40) 1 (139) 5.2 kB/sI don't get this ??? What exactly do the numbers in parenthesis mean??? My connection max's out now at around 160 kB/s. Why do I only get 1 seed and 1 peer when it's showing 40 and 139 ? Then I downloaded another file which showed 8 seeds and 2 peers and my d/l speed was 135 kB/s !!! Seems like no matter how many seeds and peers it shows, I never know whether I'll be downloading at 5kB/s or 150 kB/s ! WTF ??? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 The values in the parentheses are how many seeds and peers utorrent thinks are in the swarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexterdoo Posted May 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 So isn't that "swarm" large enough for me to get more than 3 or 4 kB/s of d/l speed ??? I still don't understand why I get only 1 seed and 1 peer from that many in the swarm ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Is that the only torrent you're running?What is your upload doing in uTorrent?What's your half open value set to in uTorrent?Are you firewalled in uTorrent?All of these can have a direct or indirect effect on your download speed.

dexterdoo Posted May 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Yes, that was the only torrent running and my upload was even slower that the download. XP is the only firewall I have and i searched but am not sure what/where to find the half open value ??? maybe you can direct me to that one. Thanks for the links ! I'll check them out.I was under the impression that if my speed maxed out with the "test site" (which it does) that everything was working properly ??? I've gotten over 100kB/s on several other sites so it's not like it's not working! I'm just wondering why I get such slow speeds on some torrents that seem to have many seeds and peers ???

Lord Alderaan Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 If you get high speeds on other torrents that the torrents in question are more then likely just slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
