Jomapil Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Hi, there.I have a doubt ( only one? ) about the table of Switeck about upload speed and other related characteristics.In the first column ( CONNECTION TYPE ) the Upload Maximum refers to the upload maximum provided by the ISP ( THEORETICAL) or the calculated by the Speed Guide ( Speed test ) ?Thank you for the explanation.Cheers.

Switeck Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 My table sets upload speed below what a line of those speeds SHOULD be capable of....At least up to 5 megabits/second upload. Beyond that, it gets closer to theoretical limits.The 100 megabit/second upload one is impractical unfortunately as 100 megabit/second network cards/routers tend to only be about 80-95% usable. Even packet latency makes it harder to get much higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jomapil Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 My ISP provides (?) 1024 kbps.I have 47 kBps - 47 x 8 = 376 kbps on account of the speed test. ( Only 37 % (!!!) ).It's so in Portugal !Thank you Switeck and DreadWingKnight.Good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Are you sure you're not confusing your max download and upload?It would seem normal to have 1 megabit/second down and only ~384 kilobit/second up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jomapil Posted December 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 No, Switeck.My ISP provides : Download - 24 Mbps and Upload - 1024 Kbps. With µtorrent I attained the maxima real speeds : Download -~~ 450 KBps and Upload = 47 KBps this last one imposed by me accordingly the speed guide. I know the speeds also depend from the other peers and seeds. But even so, is this normal?Thanks and good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 You're probably not close enough to your ISP's connectors (DSLAMs)...so you're not getting the full amount. It's a limitation of their design.Still, if you're able to upload at 47 KiloBYTES/second in uTorrent you can probably use settings close to (but just under) that.Closest one under that is 448 kilobit/second upload settings, at 40 KiloBYTES/second max upload speed.

Jomapil Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Excuse me, Switeck, but I didn't understand your last paragraph:" Closest one under that is 448 kilobit/second upload settings, at 40 KiloBYTES/second max upload speed. "Can you be more explicit?Thanh you for your kindness and availability.Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 In the 2nd link in Switeck's signature there is a table of values to use. Use the closest value to your upload, you see it in red, 448 Kbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 The settings on my chart that are closest but just under your max upload of 47 KiloBYTES/second is the 448 kilobit/second upload settings, at 40 KiloBYTES/second max upload speed, 4 upload slots, 40 connections per torrent, 100 global connections, 3 active torrents, 2 downloading torrents.

Jomapil Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I understand the chart perfectly ( almost perfectly ). It would be better for the peers if µtorrent doesthe gestion of those values automatically. Isn't it possible that in a future version?Thank you the explanation.A good week end.

Switeck Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 My chart is inspired by uTorrent's original Speed Guide (CTRL+G).uTorrent cannot do the settings automatically because it doesn't know what your connection's speeds are automatically.

Jomapil Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Yes, Switeck, I understand. It was only a sugestion.Thank you your help, once more.Good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
