hwh316 Posted August 23, 2009 Report Posted August 23, 2009 I'm out in Japan and could always get great upload and download speeds until recently there seems to be a strange cap set. I did nothing myself but it seems I'm stuck at dl:200kbs ul:40kbs.I'm a huge noob so any kind of simple advice would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Switeck Posted August 23, 2009 Report Posted August 23, 2009 Does this same low download problem occur with the test torrents (mentioned in 1st link of my signature)?
hwh316 Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Posted August 24, 2009 Yes it does. It's still an overall 200/40. The more torrents, the more it splits.
Switeck Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 I need to know a bit more about your uTorrent settings then...CTRL+G settingsESPECIALLY any advanced settings you changed.
hwh316 Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Posted August 25, 2009 up limit: 12.0 kB/s upload slots: 100connections (per-torrent): 200 connections (global): 200Max active torrents: 20 max active downloads: 15I don't touch the advanced settings because I don't know what's going on in there. any help you can offer is MOST appreciated.
Switeck Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 100 upload slots PER torrent...and up to 20 active torrents at once?!...Yet only 12 KiloBYTES/second total upload speed.You seriously HATE whoever is trying to download from you. TOTAL upload slots (which is number of active torrents times upload slots per torrent) should *NEVER* exceed the upload speed...and ideally it should only be about 1/3 to 1/5th the upload speed! (Or even less if only seeding on very fast lines.)So long as your upload is so terribly low, this is what I recommend:up limit: 12.0 kB/s upload slots: 3connections (per-torrent): 30 connections (global): 30Max active torrents: 1 max active downloads: 1
hwh316 Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Posted August 26, 2009 thanks for the pointer! any advice on how to open up the limit that has been set somehow?
Switeck Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 I need to know more about your connection...type? (ADSL, Cable, fiber optics, wireless, other?)Speed down and up from speed tests.How fast can you download at best from a website?It may not be just Torrents that are "crippled"!
hwh316 Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Posted August 28, 2009 Its a 50mbs ADSL. In the most recent set of speed tests I took averaged d:1045 u:134. I don't usually have a problem downloading from sites and I often use megaupload and rapidshare. The computer slows down quite a bit though.
Switeck Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 If it's 50 megabit/sec download max, your line is certainly *NOT* ADSL!VDSL 2+ (a vaguely similar technology) is possible though."speed tests I took averaged d:1045 u:134."This in kilobit/sec? (HORRIBLY SLOW!)
hwh316 Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Posted August 31, 2009 it is horribly slow, and it never used to be. A few months ago the strange limit showed up and I haven't been able to do anything about it.
