Only Four?

[Crossroads24]

Ok so using utorrent I think it only limits me to seeding or leaching only four torrents at one time therefore torrent blahblahblah being the fifth one gets left out. I used to use limewire and you could like remove it but it'd stay in your "library" is there a way to do that or no?

The number of active torrents at any one time depends on your connection's upload speed. Beyond a certain point, you saturate your connection and actually get worse performance (download and upload). If you're trying to download more than 4 at once, you really shouldn't be, unless you have a LOT of upload.

Torrents don't function like Limewire.

so how do i stop the seeding of the four and download the other one?

Turn off "seeding has more priority".. otherwise you are already downloading as much as possible if the torrent is started. What are your queueing settings?

ok first one max active is 4 max active download is three ratio is 150 and ignore unchecked and unchecked where do I turn off seeding has more priority?

I did do all the speed test things my DL was 322.88kbps / 40.80KBps and UL 106.80/ 13.35KBps is that all right I set the speed at 256 I think is that right as well?

I hope you ran the speed tests with uTorrent and everything else internet-wise completely stopped.

Otherwise, your speed results are horribly bad.

Your download max is not alot faster than 256 kilobits/second...and your upload is less than half that!

how do I stop everything else? This laptop is dumb and runs a million processes at once I can't be sure that one of them isn't connection to the internet.

New test results turning off everything I could ( I think)

DL DL UL UL

KBps Kbps KBps Kbps

249.53 1996.24 52.41 419.28

Test Two

Dl DL UL UL

273.71 2189.68 52.33 418.64

And three

279.79 2238.32 52.27 418.16

What do I set my setting on now?

[Firon]

I'd definitely suggest xx/384k.
