SpartanGA Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Using uTorrent 1.8I notice that while downloading a torrent, it lists a download AND upload speed. Works great. Once it is fully downloaded, it says Seeding but there is no upload speed listed and it doesnt appear to be actually seeding. What is up? Is some setting set incorrectly?thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger_fruit Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 perhaps nobody is getting the file(s) from you?when it shows 'seeding' it is available to be seeded if needed, but doesn't necessarily upload anything.

Switeck Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Your ISP, ComCast, massively disrupts BitTorrent seeding...disconnecting peers almost the second they connect to you.http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Avoid_traffic_shaping...can help, if you can figure out the matching settings in uTorrent to set it to the level 5 encryption level. DISABLE: UPnP, NAT-PMP LPD, DHT (both kinds!), and Resolve IPs (right-click in PEERS window on an active torrent).That should eliminate UDP packets from uTorrent. You only need to port forward TCP this way. Some routers do not handle UDP and TCP forwarded to the same port reliably.Keep Peer Exchange enabled...it should be encrypted due to above settings.Lower net.max_halfopen to only 1-4. (Constantly making 4 new connections outgoing at once should be enough if uTorrent is not firewalled!)Choose FORCED encryption outgoing, and disable legacy (unencrypted) connections incoming.After all that, reduce Global max connections to only 60 and per torrent connections to 30. You'll probably never reach them on seeding torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger_fruit Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 without wanting to hijack this thread too much - how do you know which isp he is with?! i mean your advice is GREAT but it's freaky how you know his ISP!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 For a forum moderator that can see the IP of posts, not really that freaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Not only do I get an ip address, I can also link that ip directly to an ISP.Sometimes the ISP resells the line to another ISP OR they are using a proxy through that ISP OR they're posting from someone else's house because their internet is down...so I can be wrong.I've got ComCast too, so I'm speaking from experience about seeding problems.

SpartanGA Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Thanks. I did most of that and it is showing an upload speed now.Is it normal that I was getting an upload speed while it was downloading but once it was in 'seed' mode, the uploading stopped?

thelittlefire Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Some ISPs can be "fooled" if you keep a persistent download in the background (like the test torrents @ http://slackware.com/torrents/ ) at some low number... some can't. See if you can get it to continue... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
