Shadowz_O_Death Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Hello everyone! My uploading speed is 2200 kilobits per second. What are the best settings for me? There is an option for 2048 kilobits per second in the uTorrent Speed Guide, but I like to be specific. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 2nd link in my signature, 2 megabits/second upload settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowz_O_Death Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Thank you for the reply! Those settings are for 2048 kilobits per second. What are the best settings for 2200 kilobits per second? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Try raising the upload speed by 5 KiloBYTES/second at a time and letting it run (with enough peers to actually USE that speed) for at least a minute to see if your connection can upload that fast.Discover the fastest stable speed you can upload at in uTorrent that way....Then decrease the upload speed back down to about 20 KiloBYTES/second less than max, to handle high download speeds.You could put the alternate upload speed a little higher than regular upload.

Shadowz_O_Death Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Sorry, but that does not entirely answer my question... I would like to know the best settings for 2200 kilobits per second uploading speed. Is there a website that can generate these settings for me? Thank you!

Switeck Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 You probably won't like the answer this gives you:http://infinite-source.de/az/az-calc.html...but it's what you're asking.What you want also depends on what you download/upload.Nearly dead torrents might require slightly different settings than torrents with 1000+ peers+seeds.Even what your download max is can have an influence on your settings. If it's not much faster than your upload speed, then you won't need as many global and per-torrent connections to reach it...than if download is 10+ times greater than upload.If you're looking to seed lots of torrents at once, then you don't need nearly as high per-torrent connection max than if you're trying to download torrents with 1000+ peers+seeds. Nor do you need upload slots set higher than normal. Seeding is better with an average upload slot speed greater than 10 KiloBYTES/second...but downloading may yield better results with average upload slot speed as low as 3 KiloBYTES/second.In short, I can't really give you the "best settings" because I don't know exactly what you're wanting to do.

Shadowz_O_Death Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 My downloading speed is 17600 kilobits per second. I tried setting "kiloBit/second" to "2048" at http://infinite-source.de/az/az-calc.html, but it gives me different settings than if I set "Connection Type" to "xx/2Mbit" in the uTorrent Speed Guide. Is there a website that generates these settings using the same algorithm the uTorrent Speed Guide uses? If not, how can I calculate these settings myself? Thank you!

Switeck Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Of course they're not based on the same algorithm -- 1 was made by uTorrent and that one was made for Azureus.As I already said:There is no perfect fit formula.There is a rather large range of values that work about as well as any other....And there's also considerations that have to be taken for special cases.For your line,Average upload slot speed needs to be at least 3 KiloBYTES/second...and won't gain much download speed if greater than 10 KiloBYTES/second while downloading. But while seeding average upload slot speed could probably be as high as 20 KiloBYTES/second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowz_O_Death Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Are you able to provide me with a website that generates these settings using the same algorithm that uTorrent Speed Guide uses or tell me how to calculate them? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 No.I don't have the exact formula and don't see any reason to try to come up with one since its numbers are "bad" based on what I know:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=348119#p348119A (bad) formula won't help, especially if you don't know why it comes to the conclusions it does.

Shadowz_O_Death Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 So you are basically saying that the uTorrent Speed Guide uses a bad algorithm...? Then what algorithm do you want me to use? I do not see why this is so hard to accomplish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 It's not bad, but it can be too much for some routers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 It's also bad for wireless connections and dial-up."I do not see why this is so hard to accomplish."It's hard because you're expecting the computer to know what you want to do.The best settings for pure seeding of mostly dead torrents is not nearly the same for trying to download only 1 or 2 really busy but huge torrents at once.

Shadowz_O_Death Posted August 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I understand that it depends on what you want to do, but what the uTorrent Speed Guide wants you to do is what I want to do. Let's put it this way... Let's say, hyperthetically speaking (or typing, if you prefer), the uTorrent Speed Guide has the option "xx/2200k" as a "Connection Type." If I were to choose this option, what would be the settings that the uTorrent Speed Guide would generate for me? What algorithm would I use to calculate these settings? If you do not know the answer, I do not see a reason for you to reply. Thank you and I hope you understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Simple, the values would remain virtually unchanged for everything but upload speed from the xx/2Mbit setting.And that would only increase by 15-19 KiloBYTES/second.I'd allow 1 more active torrent (10 total).But the GLOBAL connection max will totally overload almost all consumer networking hardware and software! (NOTE: You'd probably only need a couple busy torrents to do it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowz_O_Death Posted August 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Finally, thank you! What should I set "Global maximum number of connections" to? Should I set it to 300, which is what is says for "2 mbit/sec" at "Suggested changes for Speed Guide?" Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Depends...if you KNOW your networking hardware and software is top of the line, you could even use uTorrent's recommended value of 750. If your networking...isn't so good...even 300 would be too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowz_O_Death Posted August 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 How can I test to see if the "Global maximum number of connections" is overloading my connection? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 If you're using Wireless or USB...or have a D-Link or Belkin router generally you can't get much over 100 global connections.Linksys routers are hit-or-miss, if you're NOT using 3rd party firmware.

Shadowz_O_Death Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 I have a Linksys WRT54G v8 Wireless-G Broadband Router. According to the FAQ, I do not need 3rd party firmware, because it is v5 and up (v8) and has the latest 1st party firmware (v8.00.5.002). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Try 400 global connections.Really, you should not need more...unless you get a MUCH faster line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowz_O_Death Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Okay, thank you so much for your help! I greatly appreciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
