newbit Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Hey everyone I tried all the troubleshooting stickies before I am posting here but i was wondering whats going on... I read something about useable kb/s in utorrent and having it be less then your actual kb/s from a speed test...So my speed test from www.speedtest.net is this 30000 kb/s down and 2500 kb/s up when i use the openoffice torrent given by u guys i get a max of 3 mb/s down also when uploading i get a max of 250-300 kb/s up nothing close to what my speeds are given from any of the test sites... what is going on? I could use some help.. I followed all the setting suggested in the sticky but still no luck... any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 2nd link in my signature...choose the 2 megabits/second upload settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbit Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 i tried that and I am still only getting around 300 k up when I use bittorent. Is there like a possible upload check through like an FTP site or like a test torrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Seems to me, you're already getting >80% max.What numbers are you expecting to get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splinted Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Well, i am having the same problems. I recently Reformated. and before i reformated i never had problems with speed but when i updated to 1.8 it just killed the speed.so i think 1.8 is bugged.

Switeck Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Splinted,uTorrent v1.8 put in a new rule that download speed on individual torrents is limited to 12x upload speed IF upload speed is set less than 4 KiloBYTES/second on those torrents. If you've been severely crippling how much you're sharing to others, you get crippled almost as badly.Also if your settings don't match your connection then both download and upload speeds can suffer -- possibly severely.

MaxKohler Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 "^ Now that I like"Agreed. I think they should keep it. They're taking it out in the next version..... I think that's stupid because no one should be downloading torrents and uploading slower then 4kB/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 "no one should be downloading torrents and uploading slower then 4kB/s."I disagree with that statement.However, basically no one that NEEDS to upload slower than 4 KiloBYTES/second will be "hurt" by a download limit that is likely faster than their connection max. (shared 256/64, dial-up, etc...)If I find a torrent that has <100% availability but might eventually complete, after I get greater than 1:1 share ratio on it -- I also decrease upload speed to 1, decrease upload slots to 1, and lower Priority to LOW. There is no point giving new peers a false sense of speed...on a torrent they can't complete. And in the meantime, I am uploading on other torrents at full speed. This means if/when a seed does show up, my top download speed on that torrent will be 12 KiloBYTES/second. But chances are I only need 1 or 2 pieces that are at most 4 MB in size. That will likely complete within an hour. So I am not worried such a limit would hurt me. In the few cases I've had unfinished torrents finally complete days later in the past, I have seeded them once I got 100% typically to well over 4:1.

Splinted Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 i Think this new rule is redic, before i would do fine with dling torrents. Now my speed has just been shit on. ive tryed alot but i just dont know.but its just the amount of ppl seeding and such.I really dislike this new rule.

Switeck Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Splinted,I don't know how fast your connection is to know what settings should work....Which means I can't even give suggestions from my 2nd link in my signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splinted Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 well, here:::..

Switeck Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Sounds like 800 kilobits/second upload settings in the 2nd link in my signature...since your upload was measured as 852 kilobits/second.Either the website you tested at was "slow" or you're not getting probably even close to your connection's rated download max.I doubt you'd have a 0.8-1 megabits/second UPLOAD bandwidth if your download is only 2.2 megabits/second.

Splinted Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I Just think there's something wrong with it cause before my reformat on speedtest i would get this and betterand this is the best i got after reformat...what site would you prefer for testing my speed.Actually, better to say is how can i fix this.

Switeck Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Looks like you can use up to 1.5 megabits/second on my settings chart after all...the speed tests sites don't always report max speeds, they get slowed down too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splinted Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 mm alright ill try it out but idk.... my speeds go from 1k kb/s to about 1.96kb/s between there... ill do a few tests after and avg it out to see what it could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 You could always try the 2 megabits/second upload settings and see if your upload speed ever reaches and sustains that limit.But my guess is...you ISP probably has some monthly bandwidth limits, so you may want to go lower to avoid problems.Even if unstated, many ISPs have "bandwidth hog" criteria that they can throttle or disconnect you for.

Splinted Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 i did exactly to the settings and well it worked for 10 mins i was doing better up to about 60kb/s dl 123 kb/s uland it went back to the way it was before would ipdat effect it at all?

Switeck Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 ISP throttling, bad networking software or hardware on your computer or network, or I haven't a clue...And narrowing it down to which it is will require work I can't do.Have you read your ISP's fair use agreement or monthly bandwidth limits?Done any GOOGLE searches about whether your ISP cripplies/disrupts BitTorrent traffic?Updated your networking drivers?What networking software are you running?All that's a bloody mess...and it could also be bad commercial software interfering somehow.(HijackThis! and Process Explorer are best to find that.)

Splinted Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 im not too sure im about to reformat again and well, hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Get HijackThis!, Process Explorer, and TCP View whether you format or not...they are very powerful computer diagnostic tools. Once you use them, you'll find it hard to get by without them.HijackThis! is the hardest to work with though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
