rafi Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 When the client is idle - no active torrents, DHT - disabled, RSS - inactive, no UPNP - why do I see a small ~2K download activity every 5 minutes or so ? Shouldn't it be flat 0 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 There is some overhead still. Stuff like DHT, scraping stopped torrents, eh... forgot what else :-)But it is perfectly normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 as I said - "DHT DISABLED" ... scraping ? for stopped torrents ?are you sure ? I don't see the seeds/peers # changing . Anyways' if there aren't any other "good" reasons - they should try to avoid all activity, or at least guide how to configure for that to happen... well, I can live with the 2K... just woundered... I forgot why ... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnurlos Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Autoupdater checked (for betas too)?Portchecker rechecks utorrent port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 only the dev's can say that. The first SHOULD work only on startup. The second - I don't know what it is for ... it seems to me that Lord Alderaan was write and it has to do with "scraping stopped torrents" . I disabled "ask tracker for scrape info" and it seemed to make it close to 0. It is very easy to check for any dev, so no sense to guess...

Guest slingblade01 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Actually, I wondered this as well. I too disabled everything to stop the traffic.It started with uT hanging on exit of the program (Vista32). So I started clicking the stop button and waiting a few minutes.However, even after 30 minutes, my firewall reported traffic in and out from uT dispite any settings. I verified this by locking down the firewall and sure enough uT wanted permission to access the internet.WHY?Also, I still have problems shutting down uT. When I successfully shut it down (this is rare), it is still running as a process that is impossible to stop, short of rebooting.WHY does it continue to run as a process.

Lord Alderaan Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Also don't forget you still get incoming connections with handshakes even if you refuse them in the end. Maybe if you turn on some logger stuff you can find out what exactly.Oh and yeah scraping stopped torrents is disabled by default. I was just grasping because I forgot what exactly was causing it. @slingblade01: About the firewall stuff: You sure it wasn't just the registering of listening ports or incoming connections?About the endless process see moogly's post.

rafi Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 incoming are random. I was referring to periodic traffic (so it must be initiated by uT) . I think you were right, and it was due to this scraping stop torrents thing. Where do you control it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Preferences > Advanced > bt.scrape_stoppedAnd as a reminder, just because the seed/peer counts don't change doesn't mean nothing was downloaded from the tracker -- it could simply be that the trackers served the same information.

Firon Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 slingblade01, if you use Zone Alarm, it has a nasty bug that'll prevent µTorrent from shutting down. It basically holds the process hostage in the kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Ultima, it's false here. It looks like that only when I disable pref>bittorrent->"ask tracker for scrape info," it stops . Should it be like that? I'll check again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Are you sure the status of all torrents is "Stopped/Finished"? And bt.scrape_stopped is false? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 yes. With all off (DHT etc) it's not a big burst , just about 1-2K , and it looks like every 5 min. I'll add the log in a few minutes (all flags on). it looks like only incomings and disconnects.edit:It's not a big thing, so I suggest to leave it for now.... typical log: [2009-03-04 11:29:36] 78.5.227.178:64232 [uTP]: Disconnect: Timed out[2009-03-04 11:29:39] Incoming connection from 84.208.88.132:59425[2009-03-04 11:29:39] 84.208.88.132:59425: Disconnect: Connection closed[2009-03-04 11:29:39] 78.5.227.178:64232 [uTP]: Disconnect: Timed out[2009-03-04 11:29:43] 87.222.160.170:1559: Disconnect: No such torrent: 9CB48798A1B5C9E201FA76CF388468243A1AA708[2009-03-04 11:29:43] Incoming connection from 87.222.160.170:1656[2009-03-04 11:29:44] 98.237.140.254:60591: Disconnect: No such torrent: AFBBE34995ECDF64B09F4F71A07676810EF31396[2009-03-04 11:29:45] 78.5.227.178:64232 [uTP]: Disconnect: Timed out[2009-03-04 11:29:53] 92.230.66.249:53096: Disconnect: Timed out[2009-03-04 11:30:02] Incoming connection from 88.218.151.89:49779[2009-03-04 11:30:06] Incoming connection from 69.230.128.24:42875[2009-03-04 11:30:11] 69.230.128.24:42875: Disconnect: No such torrent: 9CB48798A1B5C9E201FA76CF388468243A1AA708[2009-03-04 11:30:13] 87.222.160.170:1656: Disconnect: Timed out[2009-03-04 11:30:13] 88.218.151.89:49779: Disconnect: Connection closed[2009-03-04 11:30:21] Incoming connection from 212.235.15.53:59534[2009-03-04 11:30:21] 212.235.15.53:59534: Disconnect: No such torrent: 4D35CA4CE91AAFA216D5AA099BE658349A268A2F[2009-03-04 11:30:25] Incoming connection from 76.182.18.25:56057[2009-03-04 11:30:26] 76.182.18.25:56057: Disconnect: No such torrent: AFBBE34995ECDF64B09F4F71A07676810EF31396[2009-03-04 11:30:30] Incoming connection from 78.94.161.7:44339[2009-03-04 11:30:32] 78.94.161.7:44339: Disconnect: No such torrent: AFBBE34995ECDF64B09F4F71A07676810EF31396[2009-03-04 11:30:37] Incoming connection from 82.139.14.6:1474[2009-03-04 11:30:39] Incoming connection from 121.55.245.4:45244[2009-03-04 11:30:39] 121.55.245.4:45244: Disconnect: No such torrent: AFBBE34995ECDF64B09F4F71A07676810EF31396[2009-03-04 11:30:42] 82.139.14.6:1474: Disconnect: No such torrent: 4D35CA4CE91AAFA216D5AA099BE658349A268A2F[2009-03-04 11:30:48] Incoming connection from 98.237.140.254:53675[2009-03-04 11:30:55] 98.237.140.254:53675: Disconnect: No such torrent: AFBBE34995ECDF64B09F4F71A07676810EF31396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Incoming requests are what's triggering that activity.uTorrent can only respond or ignore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 well , I posted that just to show that those are randomly spread, and I am talking about a periodic small bursts every 5 minutes. But let's let it be... no big deal ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Many BitTorrent client retry at set intervals, so I'd expect to see patterns too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kotey Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 My settings:Preferences -> BitTorrent -> Ask tracker for scrape information = DisabledPreferences -> BitTorrent -> Enable Local Peer Discovery = DisabledElse, DHT, PEX are enabled.For a single completed, seeding only torrent, I still saw at random interval 'download' activity, as per say ~2K.Can't remember seeing it before 1.8.x though...I've turned off scrape for waaay too long ago, didn't use it as to save me some number of connections (I queued a lot of stopped torrents all the time, around 100+) therefore I'm pretty sure that it ain't scrape (checked number of connections, logs on my router for confirmation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 BitComet clients trying to use their old encryption method can cause ~2 KB download spikes.DHT can as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
