DummyPLUG Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 For some unknown reason my Linksys rv042 router will stop all the traffic for a while if there are too much upload slot (about over 100) and uploading over 300KiBto solve this problem, I need to limit the global max upload slot just like in bitcomet, otherwise the only solutions when I using utorrent will be limit the upload speed below 300KiB only (and I have a 1MiB upload connection) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Uh, set a reasonable number of upload slots and don't run so many torrents then?btw, BitComet's upload slot control doesn't work at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Levac Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 What Firon said. Set upload slots to a number that will give each upload slot 5-10kB/s depending on your upload speed limit. Also, set max connections per torrent to a number that will allow each connection to be fed by you to at least 1kB/s.For example.1Mb (125kB/s)Limit to 70% or just about, 80-90kB/s. Divide that by 5-10 for upload slots, divide that by 1-1.5 for max connections. Divide that by the number of torrents you run simultaneously, if you do run more than one at a time. Check to allow more upload slots if upload is less than 90% of set limit.ML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DummyPLUG Posted January 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Thanks for all your comment, the problem is I want to use all my upload bandwidth, if there are not a global limit, then what I can do is limit the torrent number and the upload slot for each of them, basically this may be quite stupid, let say I am seeding 3 torrent, that mean for safety I need to limit each of them to 20~30 upload slot, this way I can use the whole upload bandwidth (1MiB/s), but if just 1 out of 3 torrent require more upload slot, then I can't do anything or stop the other 2 torrent.If I can set each torrent have 60 upload slot, but with a max total 100 slot, then my router will be safe and that 3 torrent can have more upload slot when it need to automatically.p.s. sorry for my poor english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Levac Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 An example of uTorrent settings:Global max connections: 1000Max connections per torrent: 50Max upload slots per torrent: 10Do you have a problem with the number of connections or the number of upload slots? They are not the same, a connection could be an upload slot but it could also be waiting or downloading or inactive. A connection uses one upload slot when it is uploading to it. If you set 50 connections and 10 upload slots, you will upload to only 10 connections. You can still download from the other 40 connections, that all depends on the other peers.It is important that you set upload slots lower than connections because of how uTorrent works. Look at the different tabs when you download a torrent. There's general, peers, pieces, files, speed and log. Look at pieces, you see each piece is divided into smaller pieces called blocks. Each block is normally 16kB but pieces are normally much bigger. uTorrent works best when you can send complete pieces in a short time so it's important that you set upload slots lower than connections.If you set upload slots to 100, you will be sending small amounts of data to many peers. Each peer that you send data could also be connected to other peers who are sending data much faster than you are. If your upload is too slow to that peer, he could cancel your upload and ask another faster peer for the same data. What that means is that if you send data too slowly, you could be sending data for nothing and overall bandwidth will be wasted.If you have a problem with the number of connections, just limit connections to what your router can handle. Or, try to find an update for your router, check google.ML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DummyPLUG Posted January 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Yap, I know what you mean. But I have the problem with the number of upload slots only, no matter how the max connection is and max connection per torrent, actually they are 3000 and 125 right nowI also feel strange my router act strange only when more then 60 upload slots and at the same time it is over 300KiB upload speed, it will have no problem if I limit either the upload speed below 300KiB or number of upload slots below 60Tthe reason I want to set more upload slot is that with only 60 upload slot, I just use up about 50% (500KiB vs 1MiB) of my upload bandwith, that's why I want to increase it.One more thing is both Bitcomet and Azureus don't have such problem with my router, and yes, I have already ask Linksys about it.

Martin Levac Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Do some upload tests at www.dslreports.com to see if you can upload at max speed, if not, maybe your ISP is limiting your upload in some way that uTorrent can't bypass. Also try lazy bitfield true/false in advanced options.ML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Have you made sure you're running the latest Linksys firmware?(Tried any 3rd party firmware if your router supports them?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
