bubbagumper6 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Well I went though the speed guide and set everything up (tested my upload at 485kb/s so I set the speed guide on 384 (closest one without going over) then modified the global upload limit to be 48Kb/sI know the port is configured correctly, I have the green light for the network and the port is clear. Downloaded slackware at 900kb/s! But every other torrent I try won't pass 100kb/s. Last one I was trying had 58seeds and over 1000 peers but would barely break 100kb/s...so what's up?!btw I'm running XP with McAfee (both firewalls configured correctly, disabling them does nothing for my speed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 How many are you trying to connect to? How many torrents are you running simultaneously? How have you changed your Ctrl-G settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Try setting regular upload speed to 40 KiloBYTES/second...and set alternate upload speed while not downloading (seeding only) to 48 KiloBYTES/second.Your line may just be slightly overloaded when trying to download at 50+ KiloBYTES/second while also uploading at 48 KiloBYTES/second...especially if connected to 100+ peers+seeds at once.

bubbagumper6 Posted August 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 to thelittlefire: I don't know enough about those setting to know what to edit. Right now there all on the standard things for the 384 setting, the only thing that's changed is my upload speed. I have like 6 torrents open but the setting is set for only 2 to download at the same time.and to switeck: When I logged on this morning I checked it, and it was going at about 150kb/s (combined, theres 2 torrents DLing), I changed the settings to what you said and it maybe jumped 10kb/s but nothing spectacular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 If you FORCE start torrents, they override your queue settings.Just for testing, try lowering upload speed further...as low as 30.Only other thing I can think of is test with McAfee completely removed.XP's firewall is good enough to block incoming attackers...just make sure you're not allowing anything other than uTorrent in.

bubbagumper6 Posted August 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 forced all 6 torrents to go, got a combined 125kb/slowered the upload speed, actually slowed down everything and only got like 75kb/sremoved mcafee, didn't affect it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 With 58 seeds and 1000 peers, I wouldn't expect -amazing- speeds from it. Torrent speeds are very inconsistent. Only the top heavy ones (tons of seeders, few peers) will really max you out, in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbagumper6 Posted August 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 yeah but i'm just DLing one torrent right now with 10(25) seeds and 23(89) peers and I'm only getting 35kB/s download and uploading at 17kB/s...that seems REALLY freaking slow!EDIT: And none of my speeds are ever stable! It just went from 25 down, to 50, then back to 25...upload jumped to 40 then dropped down to 10...wtf?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
