hal8999_ Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Did a search already and didn't see anything (maybe I just missed it, please don't flame if this question has been posed already ):Here is the scenario that I am attempting to get around. I'm downloading a file from a torrent that has many thousands of peers in the swarm. I am seeing some peers getting 300k/sec or 300k/sec peer download rates. I'll have maybe 10 or so peers that I am downloading from, but at a piddling rate of 3-5k/sec each. So, the question is: Is there some way to set, per torrent, a minimum download rate per peer so that you can essentially say "Don't download from anyone unless you're able to get 12k/sec from them." Something like that.Obviously this feature ONLY makes sense when you have TONS of peers - otherwise you might end up blocking all the peers on the torrent, or the only seeder, etc.I would have put this in feature requests but first I wanted to see if this functionality already exists...

Firon Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 No such feature exists, no such feature will be added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Lot of factors affect download speed, including your own upload speed. µTorrent constantly cycles inactive peers and tries unchoking other peers to find the best ones, so such a feature is really just unnecessary.

Switeck Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Speed Guide (CTRL+G) settings ALL give less than 12 KiloBYTES/second average upload speed per peer (upload slot). Some give barely 2 KiloBYTES/second average upload speed per peer!Only the few very fast upload connections that have typically only 1 torrent running AND connected to few peers are likely to upload to you faster than 12 KiloBYTES/second.I have ~1 megabit/second upload speed, which limits me to 125 KiloBYTES/second upload speed in uTorrent. For me to upload faster than 12 KiloBYTES/second per peer requires me to be uploading to no more than 10 peers at once. If I'm running 3 torrents, that means no more than 3 upload slots each.
