theed Posted January 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 well, i'm not really sure I can tell, but I have been download at full speed and uploading in full speed since I installed it.. does it take more than that? traffic shaping setting was set at auto, and I tried always on as well, but I never noticed any difference in speed what so ever.

Bunta Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Thats basically all I did.When the speed bars are indicating 100% does the bit rate numbers indicate the correct speed for your maximum transfer rates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 It should reduce your pings. To calibrate it, you're supposed to download at full speed for 5 seconds, then upload at full for at least 30 seconds (the longer the better) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnItUpSome Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Maybe this will help...I had the same problem and discovered that I didn't have port-forwarding set for the uTorrent port. When installing uTorrent, a message said that the port was ok and open, so I didn't check it. After I set the port-forwarding in my LinkSys WRT54G router and reset the router, it has been much, much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xathras Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I found the resolution to the problem.For those who remember the Windows XP Service Pack 2 problem with the 10 Half Open TCP connections, well check your TCP settings and it seems a recent windows update has reset your file.I apply the TCP changes from 10 to 50 as recommended and im now getting health on a file of 20659 and speed of 86kb/sec obviously if i set it higher I would be getting more. Please try it and let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Yea but the problem is not that he's receiving a speed throttling with uTorrent just that when its running it steals bandwidth away from other programs.If his ISP was throttling it he wouldn't get good download speeds which he is.Actually, this is a misconception.If your ISP had the right equipment, it would be trivial for them to cripple your line across-the-board or in a myriad of ways if they detect even a single bittorrent packet.They may in fact WANT you to think "BitTorrent screws up my internet connection!" so you won't do it...but what's really happening is THEY screw up your connection and make you think it's somehow your fault."ISP" doesn't just mean web browsing and email, and any 'ISP' that thinks otherwise needs to face a criminal fraud investigation.

rushless Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I've been wanting to ask this same question from day 1 I switched to utorrent. Before when I was using BitComet, I was able to browse the web pretty smoothly with BC running at 200KB/s download & 60KB/s upload speed at the same time. Now with uTorrent, even at only 40KB/s down and 40KB/s up, browsing web becomes unbearably slow. I'm really frustrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 rushless: have you tried turning off DHT? And/or lowering net.max_halfopen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushless Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Yes I disabled DHT. I have a 7Mb line but I'm using the 2Mb setting. net.max_halftopen is 8. Is it too much? Let me try to lower it to 4... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Are you using beta 418? How many connections are you using?Also, you need to choose your UPLOAD speed, not your download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushless Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Yes the latest beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushless Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I have 4 active tasks now. Stats shows 144 connections. My upload speed now is about 40KB/s (my line limit is 90KB/s, set 80KB/s in utorrent). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Oh, by the way, Starpower/RCN throttles seeding, you need to use a port in the 9000s and turn on peer.lazy_bitfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushless Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Ahh, I'm using RCN. Port setting to 50000s (is that OK). I'll try turning on peer.lazy_bitfield (what is that anyway?)Thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Try using a port in the 9000 range, and http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#What_do_all_those_settings_in_Advanced_Options_do.3F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushless Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Unfortunately, after another day's try. all these tricks don't seem to make a difference. I switched back to bitcomet for a few hours this afternoon, web surfing instantly became much faster as well as bt download speed.You may ask why don't I just use bitcomet. Well, because I'm using a few private trackers and I'm afraid one day they'll ban me for using it. Too bad there seems to be no perfect bittorent client:-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 If your upload speed is 90 KB/s, have you tried using the xx/768k option from the speed guide?And um, before you go back to BitComet, can you try Azureus and see if you get similar results? Just to rule out ISP interference... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushless Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 My upload speed is actually 7Mb/s. I though using xx/2Mk option is already very conservative, no? I can reach 350KB/s down consistantly in bitcomet, while I can still surf the web pretty smoothly. I'll give Azureus a try (but I hate java)...

Firon Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 You said your upload speed was 90 KB/s in an earlier post... The important thing here is your upload, not your download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushless Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Sorry I misread your post. Yes my upload speed is about 90KB/s. I set it manually in the setup. But utorrent can never reach that (normally about 50-70KB/s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 If Azureus can't either, then you're being shaped. If Azureus can... well, um, I don't know then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushless Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I'm using Azureus now, with the same setting as uTorrent and dowloading/uploading the same tasks. Guess what, it works like a charm. I can surf the net without any speed bump. Sorry to say that but I guess I'm sticking with it for now. Thx for all the help. I'll keep an eye on uTorrent for sure 'cause I still hate java:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Strange... I really wonder what's causing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xathras Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Strange... I really wonder what's causing that.seriously re-apply the windows tcp half open connections patch and up it to 50. for some reason the settings changed back after a recent update.Has anyone actually bothered to try it, I did and mine is working perfect, oh and I used to have it set before. I had the same problems as everyone is describing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
