kablexxx Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 Hey everyone,After reformatting I reinstalled uTorrent and I can only connect to a handful of seeds for each torrent. Download speeds are limited as a result. In the past I could get great download speeds but I know I'm being limited somewhere. Any help is appreciated, here's all the info I could gather.I'm using fios and here are the speed test reports with all programs closed:Speed Test #72094908 by dslreports.comRun: 2009-05-23 11:17:17 ESTDownload: 1084 (Kbps)Upload: 4240 (Kbps)In kilobytes per second: 132.3 down 517.6 upTested by server: 56 javaUser: 2 @ dslreports.comUser's DNS: verizon.netCompared to the average of 903 tests from verizon.net:* download is 80% worse, upload is 109% betterThe highlighted download is the openoffice test file.
moogly Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 Well, you did surely a mistake with bit/byte conversion.If the speed test reported 4240 kb/s (bit) as max UL speed i.e. 530 kB/s (Byte), you can set in uT a max UL speed higher than 35 kB/s.Because in you case (following your queueing settings), you allocate only 0.725 kB/s per slot and per torrent so it's normal peers don't upload to youUse this array to set your bandwidth in uT:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=34259 (maybe 2 Mb/s line)
kablexxx Posted May 23, 2009 Author Report Posted May 23, 2009 Thanks for your reply.I changed the settings and they're included below. Still not getting the speeds I used to get. What could it be? Used to have blazing speeds on dls. These torrents are all popular ones that usually would go extremely quick.I changed the max peers to 400.
moogly Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 What's the max DL speed of your internet connection?And what are your new queueing settings in uT?
kablexxx Posted May 23, 2009 Author Report Posted May 23, 2009 My max DL speed is real high..far more than I'd likely ever get. It's at least 10Mbps but I think I upgraded to 20 recently. Connection was fine before I reformatted a couple days ago.Active torrents: 10Max downloads: 8
moogly Posted May 23, 2009 Report Posted May 23, 2009 You set the max UL speed to 186 KB/s in uT, in general it's 80% of the max UL of your internet connection.In your case your max UL speed is ~500 kB/s, so 400 kB/s in uT can be a good value (better than 186).In addition your DL speed depends on the swarm quality.
