spammansam Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 I'm seeing this problem across the board on the torrents I'm downloading. There might be 300 seeds, but I"m only connected to 8-10 of them, and out of 850 peers, I'm only connected to 18 of them. My download speeds never seem to break 50kB/s. Is there something I need to change to allow me to connect to more peers and seeds? I've used the setup guide, configured my upload speed correctly, I'm running a router with UPNP and the green light is on in Utorrent so I know traffic is going both ways. The encryption is enabled (and allowing legacy connections). My ISP is not shaping or denying bittorrent traffic. I'm pretty new to all this, but I think I've done everything I could think of (or find). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 What settings are you using in uTorrent, as shown by Speed Guide (CTRL+G) window?What is the measured speed of your connection, both down and up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spammansam Posted October 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Upload limit 41.0 kB/sConnections per-torrent: 40Maximum Active Torrents: 3Upload slots 4Connections Globally 100Max Active Downloads 2Measured Speed:5609 kbps down and 425kbps upI have noticed lately that my download speeds reach up to about 100kBps now, but I'll notice that some torrents might have 200 seeds and 400 peers, but I'll only connect to 15 seeds and 23 peers (just for example).

Switeck Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Your settings match very well with your connection's measured speeds. There are reasonable limits in how many connections uTorrent should be making per-torrent, ESPECIALLY if you don't have a 10+ megabit/second download connection!If you're not uploading to a peer, it's also not likely to be uploading much to you...so making lots of connections to peers you cannot upload to...actually decreases effective download and upload speed.
