What make bittorrent 6.1 much faster than utorrent 1.8.x (my case)

[phamlongtuan]

Hello everything, first thing i want to say hi

I was a fan of utorrent for long time. And one day i tried bittorrent (The one which similar to utorrent) and what i experienced:

1. Bittorrent much faster than utorrent in my computer. I know this must be the different of my configuration so i delete both of them and reinstall. I put some effort for "same" configuration for them and i still get one result, bittorrent download at least 10% faster and can reach my download limit. utorrent get ~220KB/s compare to ~250KB/s.

2. This especially different in upload case. utorrent "see" around 10 peers but i only upload for two of them. For bittorrent, this number goes to 7~10 peers at the same time.

So what was the reason and what can i do to make my utorrent become like bittorrent (of course essentially they are the same). Does anyone have idea can feel free to let me know.

Best regard

BitTorrent is a rebranded µTorrent, so there is no reason they should perform differently.

Of course, firewalls can make all the difference if all else is the same.

Perform "same" mean that i tried same port, preferences etc.. same torrent same peer.

Does it possible to post image on this forum, so i will have some illustrations.

Each client should use a different port. And you should remove all firewall rules for each client and recreate them.

Thanks Firon, it could be the point.

no surprise, when I increased upload slots last time on utorrent my download speed increased. I only done that once tho as been connected to more peers is harder work for the router and makes things more laggy.

BT 6 defaults to automatically managing the uplink rate limit. This will act a little differently than if you have a limit manually set in uT.
