Neronut Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 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.

fowl Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 It's probably because versions of Windows before Vista had really badly tuned TCP/IP stack defaults. There are various programs around on the internet to tune it. Or just load w2k8 / vista or w2k8r2 / 7 which has a completely new one with sensible defaults.:-)edit: http://www.unblocka.com/ seems virus free, if ugly.

rafi Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Neronut , why don't you send/post for the devs those two sets of your dat files so they can analyze the differences ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zahid657 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 why utorrent does not allowed to chat between its client i think it will be helpfull if utorrent add this ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fowl Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Because it's not part of the bittorrent protocol and it is contrary to the goals of bittorrent and µTorrent.Also, this is not a feature request thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zahid657 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 then where can i ask or this request ?this ability is in BitSpirit but only between its own users not other i think we can ask peers and seeds some impotant things while on a runnign torrent tell me the request page plz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 There's a dedicated forum for feature requests, but chat is listed under "permanently rejected" and will NOT EVER be implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neronut Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 @rafi: Good idea, I have put both in to a zip file hereI noticed that the old settings.dat file is bigger then the new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 so , the 1.8 one is the "good" one when you run 1.9 with it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neronut Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Ya, the speed performance jumped when i switched to it.it was chugging along at about 20 kB/sec, then when switched it jumped to about 200 kB/sec. Weird I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stamtor Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 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 255without improvement.I have rolled back to the previous build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xion83 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 ya my µTorrent 1.9 alpha 14659 also face the same problem in windows vista ultimate..... Update = I have rolled back to the previous build 14589 to max up my upload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moogly Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 @crap: open a thread relative to your issue here http://forum.utorrent.com/viewforum.php?id=3 especially if it's not concerning uT 1.9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bence Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Maybe read the first post of this thread, all is explained about enabling uTP.Then read this remark about uTP and throttling: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=396097#p396097 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bence Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Before using alpha 1.9, did you try stable 1.8.2 in uTP mode?http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=393902#p393902 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bence Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 i did try the build but didnt know about that option, thank you, this answers my question. now is there anything like that for incomings?thanks for quick and constructive replies.OK i found the info its "bt.transp_disposition 10" for uTP connections only in 1.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
