csice Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I have read all of the guide and have my ports forwarded, so I am not quite sure what is wrong, but in the meantime, I would like some help on the speed guide settings. I am not good with rate conversions and would appreciate some help on setting this up or setting it up manually. I also find that my upload speeds vary widely in speed tests.

Switeck Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Trying to use uTorrent from inside a college or university LAN can be an exercise in frustration, particularly if it is completely blocked.Even if it's not blocked, you will probably need more conservative settings than you would on an equally fast line dedicated to just you.So how much do you know about your connection?What's the measured up and down speeds?Monthly/daily use limits?Peak hour restrictions?

csice Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Ya, I'm at Marshall University. I really don't know about the connection. I sent an email to the UCS, but who knows how long that will take to get a response. I am also using a Belkin Wireless G router. My rates fluctuate a lot, which is something I was hoping to get an answer for. Yesterday, in a few tests, I was getting an upload speed of over 4500. When using the four closest servers, I get: Down: 14500, 13000, 10600, 16700Up:3500, 2900, 3500, 4000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Use no higher than the 2 megabit/second upload settings in the 2nd link of my signature.Because of your router (being BOTH wireless and Belkin), you will probably need to disable:DHT, LPD, UPnP, NAT-PMP, and Resolve IPs.Also you'll probably need to reduce global and per-torrent max connections to 100 OR LESS!

csice Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Ok. Well I did get an answer:We have a 400Mb internet connection to the internet and a 400Mb backup link. At current load and traffic we generally see these download/upload speeds.TEST_DATE11/19/2008 8:32 PM GMT DOWNLOAD_SPEED34654 kb/s21431 kb/s41 ms UPLOAD_SPEED35585 kb/s53704 kb/s33 ms SERVER_NAMECincinnati, OH DISTANCE~ 100 miWe currently do not have any restrictions for any traffic that isn't P2P.

Switeck Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 "We currently do not have any restrictions for any traffic that isn't P2P."BitTorrent = P2PSo what's the restrictions on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csice Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I don't really know, I wasn't so enthusiastic about asking, seeing as how it is such a big deal and all with the RIAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
