YESS Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Greetings I tried searching FAQ/Forums for these specific answers but could not find them. If I am running uTorrent under Wine 1.1.5, should I try and use a patched TCPIP.SYS for the half-open connection limit? Also, when I add a new torrent to uTorrent, I look at the Trackers list and most of the trackers stay stuck on the status 'updating...' for 5-10 minutes, something tells me this is not normal considering these trackers are very mainstream and it happens with almost every torrent I add. I don't remember encountering the slow tracker update in WindowsXP SP2 although I could be mistaken, it has been quite some time since I've used Windows. FYI: I am on Ubuntu 8.04-hardy, 1.83ghz AMD AthlonXP 2500+(Barton core) w/512 ram, RealTek RTL8139 NIC and I have ports forwarded properly and followed all the speed guide suggestions I could, uTorrent shows my network status as OK(Green). I am keeping half-open connections set to 8 until I am aware of how Wine-1.1.5 handles half open connections with/without TCPIP.SYS patch. Thanks in advance for any answers/advice/suggestions.

Firon Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Ew Ubuntu (and other debian-based distros), but which utorrent version are you running? 1.8 or 1.8.1 RC1?Have you raised the ulimit for utorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YESS Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I am currently running uTorrent 1.8.1 Beta (Build 12183).My current systemwide ulimit is 1024, how would I go about raising the limit specifically for uTorrent, and how would that affect half-open connections or the time required to update trackers?Edit: Upon searching 'uTorrent ulimit' it seems that upping the ulimit is specifically for people encountering 'Too many open files' when downloading large torrents. Most of the torrents I download are 1-10 files, I do not believe that max open files is currently an issue for me.yess@greendelta:~$ ulimitunlimitedyess@greendelta:~$ ulimit -n1024 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Connections add up to your ulimit as well.Also, you need to upgrade to 1.8.1 RC1. Really, if you're gonna use the betas, you should turn on autopdates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
