Problem Torrents

[solent01]

Utorrent works great, but every now and then I get a torrent that causes me problems.

All my active torrents are running fine, full connectivity, good speeds etc. but when I add certain torrents, all the torrent trackers timeout, when I make the problem torrent inactive, all the trackers come back online, I have two such problem torrents at the moment, both of them cause the same problem to other torrents/trackers.

I am running 1.7.7, DHT is disabled and I have played with half open settings, Global connections, Connections per torrent etc etc, but always get the same problem with these torrents.

99% of the torrents I run have no problems what so ever, its just the odd 1% that do this.

Any ideas?

It may not be the torrents per se, but the swarm/client data it spams your connection with. Are you sure it's not overloading your connection by Force Starting any torrents.

What is your max connection count set to?

What is your net.max_halfopen set to?

[solent01]

Global is 300 (tried 100 same same)

Max per torrent 100 (tried 20 same same)

Half open is now 8 (tried 4 same same, but has been as high as 50 with no problem, apart from the odd 1% of torrents)

My upload cap is set to 75 KB/s, I get speed test results mostly just above 100 KB/s, so think my cap is good.

[Switeck]

Are you sure upload speed tests are showing KiloBYTES/second?

And are you actually sustaining upload speeds as fast as you told uTorrent to?

[solent01]

No, the speed test results are in Kb/s, which works out to be around the 100 KB/s mark, yes uTorrent sustains the upload cap.

Edit for clarity

uTorrent does not (normaly, unless its a popular torrent) reach its cap with just one torrent active, I run 5 torrents for download, and max 7 active, the cap is spread over the 7.

jewelisheaven, think your right, I have noticed only popular torrents (large swarm) have this problem, what can I do other than run these torrents with no other activity?
