I just found something interesting with µTorrent 1.9 and I'm not sure why.

I was using it on a Windows 2k3 server that i have on the same network as my notebook (Vista) (which I usually use for µTorrent, but figured I could run it on the server because its always on). Anyways, so I installed µTorrent 1.9 to give it a shot on W2k3 because it was working beautifully for me on my notebook but it didn't perform as well on the server.

I was puzzled at this because if I ran it on my notebook and the server (both clients using different ports [poor little router]) my notebook's speed would be much faster then the servers. I pondered this for a few days, tired to make the settings the same for both, at least the ones I though would make a difference, but all with no luck.

Then it hit me, why not try using the same settings.dat file for the W2k3 client as I do on my notebook. So I made a backup of the fresh file from µTorrent 1.9 and copied over my other copy. Now the downloads are acting similar.

The only thing that I think is special about the file from my notebook is that it is for the days of µTorrent 1.8 where as the W2k3 file if fresh from 1.9. I'm not sure on what has changed in this file but something is making a difference.

Just thought I would let this out, and if there is any test that I should run let me know. Has anyone else noticed something similar?

P.S. Both computers are running the latest beta. The settings file has survived though all 1.8.x excluding 1.8.2 as it came out after 1.9.

I have been using alpha build 14589 for a while now and it has been quite stable on my windows7 i7 box.

I find the uTP/bandwith_control or whatever is responsible for the link/ISP congestion control outstanding.

So good in fact that I don't use the scheduler anymore and still don't get complaints from the wifey about slow internets.

Recently I tried the 14659 build but it seems to have issues with download AND upload speed. I have always been able

to max out my upload but not with this build. I tried changing the value of bt.transp_disposition to values other than 255

without improvement.

I have rolled back to the previous build.

menu - advanced->bandwidth allocation seems to have very little effect (if at all) in this release (uTP+TCP|255)

two torrents with the same # peers/seeds (~120 connected for each) seems to get an even DL speed even if one is defined with high bandwidth allocation and the other - low. Both are multi-files torrents all set to "normal" priority

this might be a stupid question, but im gonna go for it anyway :):

is there a way to enable ONLY uTP connections? since my ISP seems to manipulate tcp connections and as soon as Im connected to a tcp peer my bandwidth is lowered.

Thank you

i read that and i was just wondering if uTP can help me since my problem is NOT throttling, their limitations seem to be based on protocol not port. My question still stands, whether you think it helps me or not, can you enable uTP connections ONLY?
