Conn. to Seeds + Peers - Problem! alot of seeds but little conn.

[oneggold]

Hello everybody.

This is my first time here. So sorry if I speak with some wrong terms.

I am using Utorrent for about 6 months. In the last month I have some problems with it.

Right now what I can see is that - Files with enough Seeds and Peers, but the program doesn't connect to almost any of them.

my config. is this -

GREEN V - ports are open

testing from 7 to 13 upload

my speed connection is 2.5 MPBS (thats about 300 kb)

global max connection - I try between 150 to 250

max conn. peers per torrent - I try from 30 to 50

number of upload slots - 4

Queue

Active torrents - 8

Active downloads - 4

ports are between 21000 and 65000

right now its this one - 61599

random port- OFF

UPnP - OFF

I'm using a router. the computer is connected by a cable to the router (not wireless that is).

The problem is that files with 200-400 seeds and\or peers for example. once were connecting 10-20

now 1-2. some with 3.

have one file now with 164 Peers and 559 Seeds. 2 Peers connected. 25 Seeds connected. speed 25KB. which is good. But the other 3 files, even thou they have seeds and peers, barely connected to them.

By the way, now this file that was going 25KB, went down to 0.7kb, and now stopped at about 4-5 kb.

Thank for you help

Your ISP is either throttling international connections or something along the line probably is.

Your upload speed PER total upload slots is completely terrible, resulting in peers NOT wanting to upload back to you!

Upload speed really needs to be at least 3 KB/sec per upload slot. But if you have multiple torrents, such as 4 torrents with 2 upload slots each...then that's 8 total upload slots and would need at least 24 KB/sec total upload speed for EACH to get 3 KB/sec.

This won't hurt as much on torrents with lots of seeds, obviously...since seeds want nothing from you.
