Firon Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 1.8.1 will alter the global upload multiplier to 9* instead of 6, and the per-torrent to 18* instead of 12, since you've mentioned your broadband situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 To LTF,You can also try reducing total connections, both per-torrent and global. I doubt you'll need more than 20 each...and could probably get away with 30 total. You don't need lots of connections to download at 100+ KiloBYTES/second speed, since obviously it's impossible with that line. Fewer connections at once should also burn less bandwidth keeping them connected.I'd expect 8 KiloBYTES/second upload speed to be a little too fast for the connection, even while only seeding 1 torrent. There is probably no value even to others to put upload higher than 6 or 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Don't forget to update site literature with the 18x change and the addition of the per-torrent limit @ 9x while you're at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzman Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 After updating to V1.8, my download speeds appear to have dropped by 4X. I could routinely get 450kB/s down with 50kB/s up on V1.7.7... not any more. Now, I bump up the upload to 100kB/s and my upload rate often exceeds the download rate. Why???I have an ActionTec DI524 FIOS router. I changed NOTHING other than allowing the suggested upgrade to 1.8. While I appreciate you guys hard work on uTorrent, I'm going to revert back to V1.7.7 as I don't want to spend weeks trying to solve this when V1.7.7 worked so flawlessly.After reading some of the other post from users on this forum I have to ask what the compelling reason to switch to V1.8 when V1.7.7 worked so well and had great download speed? Software's key objective should always be to please its user-base first with other considerations secondary. So, why should I switch? This is SERIOUS question. I asked myself that same question about Vista. When XP works so well and Vista just adds issues, why switch?uTorrent has a loyal following, I hope you guys can listen carefully to your users and keep it that way.

Switeck Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 jazzman,It sounds like you've changed uTorrent's settings between v1.7 and v1.8 if you're uploading at 100 KiloBYTES/second now and before it was only 50. uTorrent's other settings besides upload speed max can have a HUGE effect on whether uTorrent runs smoothly...or potentially crashes your computer, network, and modem.

Switeck Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 The complete change log for v1.8 is missing not because of malice but because it was growing "too long". Notice nothing earlier than "2007-11-13: Version 1.8 alpha (build 6104)" is shown.Perhaps Firon can post the COMPLETE changelog somewhere?(hint, hint!)

donniedurton Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hoorah megafonn!! I came her to complain of exactly the same thing. Shame on utorrent for trying to dictate. I shal revert to an earlier version and recommend all I know, both in the real world and on the net to do likewise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 What complete changelog? The first public build ... incorporated all changes from 1.7 onward through private testing. Also I believe schnurlos (did I spell it right?) hosts the entire changelog on http://utorrent-deutsch.deEdit: >< Appears the site is down for me. http://forum.utorrent.com/profile.php?id=9513 is schnurlos' profile.

Firon Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 donniedurton, and I bet you never seed your torrents, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 When this first appeared, I was personally against limiting download speed if individual torrent upload speed was set below 4 KiloBYTES/second...but then I found out it ONLY affected the individual torrents set below 4, not ALL my torrents.Firon even said he'd be making a major change to how it operated just because ONE person stated a legitimate reason for not uploading faster than 3 KiloBYTES/second while downloading.The global thing pretty much will stay because it was added somewhere back around v1.4...and is needed to combat leeching and hit-and-running.So if you want it scaled back further, come up with good reasons instead of just complaining.Just remember, it's not ME you have to convince!

Zao Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Both my upload and download speeds also dropped dramatically with 1.8. I have tried ALL the suggested changes on the forum, but to no avail. I had NO problems with 1.7.7 and therefore I'm going back to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Did you choose your upload in the Speed Guide? Have you raised the per-torrent upload cap? Do you use a firewall? Firewalls will block the new version until you recreate any exceptions/rules for the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zao Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I've tried all that. My upload speed is 75 kb/s but it dips around 10 kb/s even though I'm seeding to a bunch of leechers. Very irritating since I've never had problems sharing with 1.7.7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 What firewall DO you use, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zao Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I'm using Windows firewall, but have added utorrent to the exception list.I was looking at the event viewer and "TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts" keeps popping up. I'm using Vista and don't know any TCP/IP patches. How do I get rid of the warning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't try to take your inadequacies out on me. You've already proven us right by saying you'll remove the so called "anti-leech protection".
