Ultima Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 http://www.utorrent.com/setup_guide.phpDon't set your upload rate to be unlimited. That'll affect things adversely. Follow the setup guide and pick the appropriate upload rate in kbit/s from the Speed Guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 BAD. Do not mess with advanced settings unless you are directed to do so by someone who actually knows what they're doing (you'll find plenty of such users here in these forums). If you got instructions to use such settings from YouTube videos... well, they don't know what they're doing. Revert all of those changes you've made to the advanced settings.Edit: Clearly, you did NOT read the setup guide at all if those are your settings.

Barken Posted October 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 ok i willcan you tell me what i did wrong? why is that so bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Because they cause a TON of overhead. Which equates to wasted bandwidth. And those settings will almost undoubtedly kill any consumer-grade networking hardware. Heck, I'm betting many commercial-grade networking hardwares would also get bogged down by such settings. Basically, your connection will become extremely unstable and unreliable with things set as you have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 http://www.utorrent.com/setup_guide.phpThis uses simple language, and isn't the help manual -- it's a guide. If you're referring to this guide, do tell what part you're specifically having trouble following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Those settings control the rate at which µTorrent opens connections. As I stated before, faster connection opening rates will kill connections, and do not increase speeds as many people on the Internet would like you to believe (it's a popular but untrue myth).http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=368139#p368139 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barken Posted October 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 sorry for being so rude but, again, can you please simplify the info on each exact setting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Frankly, the manual's descriptions are already extremely simple. Are you not understanding a particular word in the description? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 2nd link in my signature gives suggested settings for uTorrent based on your max sustainable UPLOAD speed.Bad settings may work ok with many torrents...then cause all kinds of problems on very busy torrents.You may want lower-than-max upload settings because your line is shared or has a monthly bandwidth quota you don't want to exceed.
