[Help] peers connected

[mrcheeky]

Hi people

I have been observing utorrent for quite some time, and have come to a conclusion that my total connected seeds+connected peers will not amount to more than 50 no matter the total number of peers and seeds.

eg. 24(145) peers and 24(226) seeds

20(60) peers and 30(50) seeds

Is this normal or something is restricting my connections?

Looking forward to replies.

Thank YOU =)

Because that's the connection cap you set in the preferences.

50 is more than enough. Beyond that, you can overload your router or just generate tons of TCP and BT overhead, which result in lower speeds.

thanks for reply

my global maximum number of connections is set to 130, nothing near 50

and maximum number of connected peers to 70

the problem is that although there are 50 connections, not all are active (not seeding)

what should i do?

There may be hidden limitations due to network topology (modem, router, network card, ISP, etc...) that is limiting max connections you can have.

Are you firewalled in uTorrent?

What ISP are you on?

Max connections per torrent set at 70?

uTorrent may be backing down from making new connections after reaching 50 and instead expecting incoming connections to fill the remaining 20...

What's uTorrent's log tab say about connections?
