Switeck Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Your upload max is probably very low, even less than the 20 KiloBYTES/second download speed max you're getting now. Even downloading at 10 KiloBYTES/second isn't intolerable so long as the files you're getting are under 500 MB...you just have to be very patient.Your ISP is probably throttling/disrupting BitTorrent traffic.To try to reduce the losses...Disable DHT, LPD, UPnP, and Resolve IPs (right-click in PEERS window).If you get the green light in uTorrent, reducing half open connection limit to 1-4 might help slightly too.At the worst, you need to set encryption to FORCED outgoing and disallow incoming legacy (unencrypted) connections. If that doesn't seem to help speeds, allow incoming legacy connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spy2 Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 The new Utorrent requires users to make Upload speed high so you can have high download speed. Example: As i tried earlier (once downloaded New verson) made my upload for Example 6 or 9 which is maximum and in return i got back my maximum download speed 55 kb/s or even 60 kb/s if am lucky. In the Contrary if you make your upload speed unreasonable as 1 or 2 kb/s your download speed will become 14kb/s or even less.The older version of Utorrent did not require a person to make upload speed high or near maximum to get maximum download speed.This is based upon my observation using the New Utorrent Version.

thelittlefire Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 You're incorrect. Previously people were able to be leechers by only uploading @ 1 for each torrent they download. This was changed in the development version (Oct. '07 --last year) and lasted until 1.8.1 beta after leechers complained for a week. The multiplier is 12x the upload limit for 1-3 KiBps upload settings.Why did you post in this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
