fritzelly Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 HiI have a u/d of 385k/3mb download so I set my upload to 30k but this seems to cripple my downloads - dropping to about 30-50kb, yet if I set my upload to 10kb or less then the downloads go to the full download limit.Is there some setting in utorrent that is amiss, I don't remember changing anything that might affect this.Cheersoops missed the Speed forum - can a mod move it? tx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Did you also adjust the other settings in uTorrent to match?Does your ISP throttle BitTorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritzelly Posted March 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I used the Speed Guide and set my upload at 384k, utorrent set it at 35kb, havent changed any other settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Set upload speed to 20 KB/sec.Then once you get that result as a "benchmark average", try adjusting global and per-torrent connections down and up and watching the results over 5-10 minute periods.The types of torrents you're on can have a HUGE effect on the results! Private torrents may only have a few seeds on each yet still get decent speeds...while public torrents can have many seeds and still be slow.

fritzelly Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I've just downloaded a bandwidth monitor to see whats using my internet, also checked with netstat. Even though I have utorrent set at 12kb up the monitor is showing my upload at roughly 30kb, when I decrease the upload the actual upload from my pc hangs around 12-14kb more than utorrent is set at. When i exit out of utorrent this goes down to basically 0. So it seems utorrent is sending something somewhere...and maybe this explains when I increase my upload it's throttling my download...??

Switeck Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Disable DHT (both kinds), reduce net.max_halfopen to 1...and recheck your bandwidth usage.RSS feeds can also use lots of bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
