agnitum Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Hello everybody.As first i need to say, that i am a proud user of uTorrent and i have been using it like one and half years from now. I never had any problems with it, my connection is very fast.2 days ago i was reinstalling my whole system (windows), so i had to install everything once again. I installed uTorrent, and yesterday i noticed, that it is downloading each file not higher then 12kb/s . I found its a bug, and need to be fixed. I always had my speed on 300-500 kb/s and now it can't reach higher then 12kb/sec . This is a little proof:From 2 days its 11.9 kb/s and its not getting higher.Please help me, i know you can :-).Greetings, agnitum.PS : And my upload speed is 400 kb /sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrero Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Because you set your upload cap to 1-4 kb per torrent. This is leeching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Check the properties of the torrent. Remove the cap you set there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yogirajj Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 First of all, off the back, 2 out of your 3 downloads, have more peers than there are seeds, of course your gonna get a very low download speed. There isn't much you can do about that..You will not get a greater download, unless those seeds that are not available, come back on line, to continue seeding with the rest, in the swarm..You also may want to take a look at your firewall, and make sure µ-torrent is "allowed" to send and receive data... That would make a huge difference.Lastly, if your not using a router, your ISP could be trotting your dl/ul... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 agnitum,MANY people with speed problems have severely bad settings problems in uTorrent.So I am inclined to believe your settings are bad until shown otherwise....You probably don't even know the speed of your connection, especially for upload.

agnitum Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Mayebe, but i donno how how to set up my settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 If you can steadily upload to others at 100 KiloBYTES/second in uTorrent, then you could use up to the 1 megabits/second settings in the 2nd link in my signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedd2006 Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I just recently updated utorrent to the new version, and i have this same problem, BUT i figured mine out after reading this. Im sometimes downloading 20-30 downloads at a time, so i have to cap the download its usually to about 2-5kbs each upload, reason being, is my house runs 3 VoIP phones, which if in use are bandwidth hogs, and if i dont have the upload caped then the phones are basically useless because my downloads are taking all my upload speed which varies between 70-200kbs depending on the time of day but it usually stays between 70-80, i only get 90+ in the middle of the night. Back to my answer to the problem is under "Options/Preferences" and click on bandwidth and set a global upload rate, i set mine to 20, and that fixed my problem, OR you can cap each downloads upload rate to 5kbs and that would fix your problem, but in my case that would just make it worse if i have 25 downloads going taking 125kbs of my upload which would render my phones useless as well.

thelittlefire Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 You don't run 20 torrents at once without at LEAST several Mbit/sec upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 You should be setting global upload speed max instead of trying to set lots of individual torrents upload max.And your connection really isn't rated for running that many ACTIVE torrents at once. (active = actually downloading and uploading, as opposed to no peers/seeds or only idle peers/seeds.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Read as: Look at the correct Ctrl-G settings for your connection.. or use Switeck's numbers if you like more efficiency (link #2 in signature). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dax Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Hi Guys,I registered an account just so I could reply in this topic I was having the EXACT same problem as the topic starter, my download speed would not go any higher than 12kB/s on the dot, but after looking through the forums and reading everything, it was finally one of Ultima's guides that solved my problem.It was the version! For some strange reason with version 1.8 Stable it just was not going above 12kB/s, I updated to 1.8.1 Beta and it solved the problem immediately, I'm not sure why, but it did. I now get full speed Just to make absolutely sure that updating to the Beta version didn't change any of my settings which I may have missed, I took note of all the advanced settings and all my custom settings and none of them were changed in the update... All I can think is that the version must have issues with certain hardware? But my guess is as good as yours.Just in case anyone is interested I use Windows XP Pro SP 3 and the port I use is 55655. Feel free to ask me for any other information.--Dax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Did you set any individual upload speeds on any of your torrents REALLY low?v1.8 limited download speed to 12 times upload speed if you were using leech-like settings.v1.8.1 beta does not...but it certainly won't help others if you were setting low upload speeds.

Dax Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 From what I remember, I didn't have any major limits on my Upload. I think the lowest one I had was 5kB/s, but I'm only using a 384/128kbps line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 In your case, you only have maybe 12 KB/sec total upload speed.Setting upload any higher WILL KILL your download speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dax Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Precisely. ;DRegardless, I'm now downloading at my usual of 35-38kB/s and will continue using uTorrent until the end of time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacutorrent Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 I had the exact problem agnitum have.And as Dax said it is the version. Some thing with the µtorrent 1.8 cause this problem.I used 1.8 as soon as it came, but had to roll back to v1.7.7 because nothing will solve this problem.Changing the upload limit of both the program and individual torrents doesn't help, nor does anything else.Just trust me on this.I have tried everything.You just have to use a different version. If you do not like to use beta versions roll back to v1.7.7(as I did) or usev1.8.1 beta version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelittlefire Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Leechers deserve what they get. You don't belong SETTING YOUR UPLOAD to 1 KiBps. And it WAS rather self-explanatory, if you bothered to read. http://utorrent.com/faq.php#What_does_Download_Limited_in_the_status_bar_mean.3F showed up in the General tab.
