DCSemi Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 As I'm currently download few torrent right now, all my uploads speeds are set to 1k/s MAX so I can download first then seed. But in µTorrent, it says I'm using about 70k/s of my Upload Bandwidth.I actually got 7 torrents so it should use about 9k/s. Does µTorrent really use 70k/s when my max upload speed is set to 1k/s per torrent?Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Well what are you uploading to? ... http://utorrent.com/faq.php#What_does_Download_Limited_in_the_status_bar_mean.3F may be relevantYou don't mention what version... and 7x1=7, not 9.Oh and btw, you deserve a plague or three for not sharing.

DCSemi Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Don't worry. I always get a ratio higher than 2, I just get the files before.Also, by setting my max up. speed to 1k/s... I get some 1.4k/s, 1.6k/s speed so, that's why I said 9k/s.Version is 1.7.7.But thanks for the link, i think i got my answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I don't see how that specific link helped... Did you notice your uploads weren't being limited to local peers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCSemi Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I see how: What does Download Limited in the status bar mean?This is an anti-leech protection put in µTorrent. It means your upload cap is set too low, and as such, your download is limited to 6 times that amount (3 in 1.4 build 402, 6 in 1.4.1 build 405+). It's set to 6 times the cap so that legitimate users who need that cap (dial-up, ISDN, certain slow broadband connections) are unaffected by it. It only applies to upload caps of 1-5 KiB/s.

thelittlefire Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 ... it still doesn't explain your situation. You said you have EXCESS bandwidth being used, on the UPLOAD side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanm Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Click on the "All" view on the very left. Then sort by the Up Seed column -- the values should add up close to 70 kB/s. There's probably a simple explanation why µTorrent is saying 70 kB/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelittlefire Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Your download numbers add to 65.9 and the uploads add to 9.5 so yeah, the differences are not marginal. Truthfully it looks like you're connected to more peers thn you should be, even if it doesn't explain all of that extra throughput. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCSemi Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Global connection is set to 700.9.5k/s upload versus 42.3k/s is a big difference... I am just wondering if it's a µT error, or it really uses 42.3k/s of upload bw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Try disabling Local Peer Discovery and enable Limit local peer bandwidth.And then reducing max connections from 700 to about 100.Why are you force starting so many torrents at once?

DCSemi Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 What would it change if they weren't forced?Even if I let only two of 'em downloading, I don't get high speeds so... I rather download a bit slower but to get them faster... I'm open to any of your opinions tho.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Forced downloads don't follow the Queueing rules. If you don't download fast on one or two, it's likely do to the fact you're not uploading very fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Change your connection settings to match what your line can do normally and both download and upload speeds may be higher.Upload almost certainly will be higher (which helps others), download should still be GOOD enough...and may actually be higher if your line was overloaded before OR the torrent you're on was nearly dead and peers would only share with you if you shared back to them quickly.

Firon Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Don't even bother limiting your upload to 1 for what you're trying to do, just leave it normal and set a sane global limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
