macpheja Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Hey Im wondering if seeding seperate torrents along side a download helps with the download speed at all I usually have a few seeds going while im downloading and I don't know if im harming my download speed more then helping it or if im helping it at all.

jewelisheaven Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Depends on your speedtest values. What are your queueing settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macpheja Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Sorry I don't know what your asking im new to the torrent scene, havnt learned the terms yet but I can tell you i got 4000 kb/s on the speed test if that's what your first question was asking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 http://utorrent.com/documentation/connection-setupThe Ctrl-G Speed Guide values in uT are for UPLOAD not download. You may have 4 Mbit downspeed, but what is your upspeed. On CABLE or DSL systems you will likely not have > 2 Mbit upload.Please adjust your settings accordingly. If you are able to upload at or near your set upload limit (change to the Speed tab in uT, change the scale to see increasingly over time) you are likely getting as fast as possible once you change it so you're not trying to split your upload too far. TOTAL_UPLOAD / (ToRRENTS_ACTIVE * SLOTS) MUST BE > 1, and for good speeds 3 is OK. Some recommend as much as 10, but 3-5 will work IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 ADSL is unlikely to have over 1 megabit/sec upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macpheja Posted May 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Yeah Im not talking about speed though im talking about whether or not the more seeding I do the more download speed I get rewarded with. I am asking if it works that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Correct. The idea of bittorrent is the more you upload to a peer the more they send you (their upload is your download). Hence the "magic number" is 3-5 KiB/sec per upload slot when you're setting up your connection/queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 If you're on a swarm with many fast peers and seeds, and have a fast upload yourself you might want to set upload speed PER upload slot closer to 10 KB/sec. While seeding, the only real reason to not use 1 upload slot per torrent (and thus very high upload speed per upload slot)...is uTorrent bug/s:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=56897So while seeding, I still recommend at least 2 upload slots per torrent till that gets fixed.
