justasomeone Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I'm not sure if I am in the right section, but here's my problem.http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/1755/26473549.jpgFirst of, let me say that I'm on Rogers with a 60gig cap limit.As you can see in my screen, I have put the upload speeds to 1kB for the three active torrents, in Utorrent's tittle bar you can see it going at D:353k U:1.74k. But on Netmeter it shows that I'm uploading at 14.0kb, I have tested it with another meter and it still shows at 14.0kb upload speed.Note: I reseted all logs when all torrrents were at 0%While Utorrent shows I only uploaded less than 1 MB, my report says I already uploaded 13.87MB, that's more than 10% of what is shown.Is this how Torrent programs works? Or is it just me?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 net.calc_overhead enabled in the advanced preferences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justasomeone Posted June 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Nope, net.calc_overhead is on False Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 try with it set to true, and monitor the status bar numbers more than any individual torrent numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justasomeone Posted June 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 After setting the value to true, it seems the 1kb upload limit is lifted and all torrents seed at the maximum speed it can. On Utorrent's status bar it jumped from 1-2kb to 20-30kb Upload, while net meter shows the same 20-30kb as it did before I set the value to true.

DreadWingKnight Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Then you are probably running enough torrents at once to have a PAINFUL amount of overhead.What connection setup guides have you followed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justasomeone Posted June 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I don't think I have followed a setup guide, if you can direct me to a proper one that would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justasomeone Posted June 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Thanks, I will post my results.EDIT:Ok, I followed the guide and after playing around with my upload speed I still cannot reduce my overhead. It still a constant 20-30kb Upload. Since I started my downloads Utorrent says I only uploaded 1.7MB, but Netmeter shows 108.25MBDamn.. I was wondering how I've been uploading 6gigs every month..

Switeck Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Downloading at ~20 KB/sec in uTorrent costs 1 KB/sec upload as well.So at 350 KB/sec download, that might be about 17 KB/sec upload overheads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
