onw Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Have installed the new Mac beta and my speeds won't go above 6.3k. I've checked all the usual stuff, download caps etc and it's all as it should be.I've tried using the same torrent file via Transmission to compare and this issue doesn't happen at all, i get 'normal' speeds. I've tried uTorrent on a bunch of different torrents over the last few days and the same thing happens - slow slow slow.I'm not in a hurry to replace Transmission as my torrent app of choice, but uTorrent was always my number one when i was a PC user and i'm keen to see how it develops for the Mac.any ideas??

thelittlefire Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Download limit doesn't matter at least on Windows... did you set the upload to 1? You're sure it's not the torrent... have you tested http://slackware.com/torrents/ ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onw Posted November 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 thanks for the info. my upload was set to one, i've upped it and that has seemed to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Yeah, don't do that Best practices for speeds from http://utorrent.com/setup_guide.php still apply to uT/MacDo you not want to utilize alot of bandwidth? I know without a scheduler it is sometimes hard to remember to stop all torrents or close uT when you don't want to download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onw Posted November 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 my ISP is not that great with two way traffic, so i try and limit it as much as possible. especially as my girlfriend works from home, and we always have something downloading.thanks for the help.
