bootstrike Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Short question: How do I make utorrent make more than one connection to a seed?Long question: I am seeding private torrents to send to my friend who has a 350KBps download and I have a 100KBps upload. When I started the first torrent and he connected to my utorrent tracker with the torrent I sent to him, his speed maxed out at 25KBps and hovered from 20 to 25. Then when I asked him to download another two torrents from me, the other two also hovered around 25KBps totalling about 60-70KBps download to him.I have already set allow_same_ip to true but I can't make his utorrent make more than one connection to me in a single torrent. How do I make utorrent do this? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 uTorrent won't attempt multiple connections to a single peer from a single instance. There is no way to change this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claw_gr Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 bt.allow_same_ip: Enabling this option allows multiple incoming connections from the same IP address. This option affects a single torrent job at a time, so you can still have the same IP address connect to you on different torrent swarms. It is recommended that this option be left disabled, as it weakens the anti-leech protection. So propably nothing else will work.. (It is better left disabled since it wont help you)But you dont need that many connectionsJust temporary limit the upload of the other torrents you are downloading (or pause them or stop them)... Propably what is left will go to your friend..You only need one connection.. And maybe forwarded ports to get as many request possible (both you and your friend)..

bootstrike Posted December 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 like i said, every connection from the person maxes out at 25KBps so every additional connection means 25KBps more faster (until my limit is reached, that is)yes, all my torrents are stopped and nothing is using the upload. .. port forwarding is also done.. anyway dreadwingknight has given the answer I am looking for.. thanks for your input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bootstrike Posted December 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Sorry for the bump, but may I submit this as a Feature Request as splitting a torrent into different torrents just to work around the ip connection limit is tedious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
