inactive11545 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I'm not sure if this is actually a bug, but I didn't see it in 1.7.x, so..The problem is that uTorrent 1.8 seems to update its ETA somewhat slowly, resulting in ETA like 1yr 20hrs when downloading 500MB torrent by 20kB/s.

thelittlefire Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 How long have you been running the torrent? The ETA is a sliding scale... based upon current availability as well as your throughput on the torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneaker Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I have the same problem. One of my torrents' ETA has just reached 1 year, although I'm constantly downloading it with about 350 KB/sec and it only has 3.5 GB. (So it should show 3 hours or something). I'm using µtorrent 1.8 Build 11813. Never had this problem with the 1.6.x oder 1.7.x versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneaker Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I just noted that there aren't any seeders with 100% of the file at the moment - does µtorrent increase the ETA (to infinite) then? Was it changed since 1.7.7? I never noticed anything like that in old versions.And is there any explanation for this "sliding scale"? English isn't my mother tongue and I don't know what it means. If my guess it right, this "sliding scale" didn't has to anything with my problem, because my ETA was increasing more and more instead of decreasing./edit:After thinking about it again:1.) If the ETA going to infinite when the file is not 100% available - although currently downloading - is intended and2.) If my download had someone with 100% at the beginning, so that there was a finite ETA at the beginning and3.) The last one with 100% did go offline (and a complete file cannot be made with the remaining peers) and4.) I understand this "sliding scale" correctthen everything is fine and it was no bug. I would just need to confirm point 1.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yonizaf Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 something isn't right...the ETA is way too short.it also happened to me the other way once, with ETA of 100 years and increasing, despite steady speed.<<sorry for english>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inactive11545 Posted August 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 The torrent was running only a few minutes, but the reason I'm reporting this is that 1.7 and 1.6 never had this problem - it seems like the ETA lags behind a LOT..

Firon Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Does it ever correct itself if you keep a steady speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
