mbamg Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 uTorrent 2.0 beta is great! If only the following problems can be fixed.Download has gone waayy up (from 20kB/s to 300kB/s), but upload speed never goes above 30kB/s for some reason.Download speed goes to 4.5kB/s even when I'm not downloading anything, compared to at most 1.5kB/s for version 1.8.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 what's your connection bandwidth, and what global upload limit did you set ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbamg Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 my upload bandwidth is 140kB/s since 1.8.x and the global upload limit is 250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 if 140K is your MAX upload speed, you might want to try set the limit to ~100-120K. You can also try and set/reset the net.calc_overhead . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbamg Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 um what is the net.calc_overhead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
help10 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 since 1.8.3 (and till the latest 2.1), uTorrent is doing some kind of LDP/PEX on all available interfaces even if those options are strictly disabled in settings, so polluting a swarm with unneeded "external"-like peers and eating an expensive internet traffic if it's byte-charged.this makes 1.8.3+ completely unusable on private LAN-trackers, people on them are massively falling back to 1.8.2 or lower, and there is even a tendency to ban 1.8.3+ on such trackers for saving their residents from such problems.i've reported (and not just me, as search says) this bad behavior in "troubleshouting" several times (feared to give links again, because one brainless moderator definitely "loves" me much more than others ), but all of them was just leaved without the worthy answer.is there any plans to fix this problem in upcoming 2.0 release, or 1.8.2 will still a local-trackers-people destiny?

Zarggg Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I just read over some of his previous posts... On the off-chance this guy can get back on to at least read posts:BitTorrent was not designed to be used in the manner you are intending. Please stop trying to break/subvert the standard/protocol. It makes people who want wider acceptance of Peer-to-peer distribution sad (like me). =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gma2 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Zarggg, you are not right. I have noticed that problem also, and it has no anything common with standard or protocol, no other BitTorrent client does like this - only µT, аnd only the latest versions. BTW, it is the one of the reasons for increased overhead traffic in them, which was many times speaked about above.Anyhow, this guys just asking for it to be tunable (not hardcoded), and he is right - any program must work as user needs, not vice versa.

rafi Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 @mbamg: pref.->advanced->net.calc_overhead will include (and display) the traffic overhead IN your total for the limit calculation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 If you've set uTorrent to use a cache that large, you're asking for problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccw Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Why do you say so?I just want a bigger cache for protection for harddisk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Because uTorrent is a 32-bit application and will crash at 2gb of ram use.A bigger cache won't protect your hard disk from damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccw Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I know and I did not make it over 2GB.More cache can effeiciently decrease I/O of Harddisk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccw Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 that way....what size should I set for cache?Leaving it automatic?Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Leaving it automatic unless you get disk overload messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 ccw said, "When ram cache is over 1800 MB, it suffers from not responding."The problem is, that's 1800 MB ram used by the cache...but doesn't count the ram uTorrent is using to keep track of everything in the cache...nor does it count uTorrent's other ram use. If you have a lot of torrents loaded (like 20+), uTorrent could still exceed 2 GB ram usage and crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinlight Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Mechanically it will save the harddrives some work when it doesnt have to write and read in random in thousands of places at the same time.I've been using 1536 MB for cache since the first time it was possible to set it. I ran in to trouble when the program hit 2+ GB so I have now reduced it to 1280 MB. Works great.Saves alot of writes and also saves quite alot of reads. With my slow 6/1 Mbit connection I now have this stats for read/writes:From cache: ~1 million and 6/sFrom file: ~300k and 0-1/sTo cache: ~4 millionTo file: 44 000 These figures was at least tenfold bigger when I was using 100/10 Mbit where I was almost always seeding at max 24/7.This is a huge saving on the mechanical parts that doesn't have to work as hard and much anymore.Sure the drives can handle this strain, but it also reduces noise which is nice for us having the computer on 24/7 in the bedroom.

ccw Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Thank you, Switeck and DreadWingKnight.I used to have a cache of 12xxMB and I just want to try if I can make it larger.From the above,I think I may leave it at 12XXMB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmo87rg Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 The build 17539 is giving me download caps based on the upload limit.If I set it at 10K my DL caps at 150k while setting it at 20K will cap my DL at 300K.I had no problems with the build 17427.Is there a way to fix this behaviour?Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osm0sis Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Switeck: So are the the Setup/Speed Guide presets going to need fixing again because of that? Currently I notice a discrepency anyway.. I use the preset for 1 mbit and Save & Close, and then I reopen the dialog and it has my current settings pegged as "737.28 kbit/s" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
