321abc Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I click on the "Peers" bar and i notice that my Utorrent is uploading say 4kB/s to a peer that im downloading say 1kB/s, while another peer that im downloading 200kB/s from, im only uploading 0.2kB/s to them?How would i "choose" to upload more to the peer that im d/l 200kB/s while decreasing the upload to other peers that im not d/l that much from?

DreadWingKnight Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 You don't because that doesn't actually help speeds as much as you'd think, especially if the peer you're trying to restrict to doesn't want any of the pieces you have.

Switeck Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 "another peer that im downloading 200kB/s from, im only uploading 0.2kB/s to them"Are you actually uploading parts of the torrent to them, or is that just BT protocol overheads causing the upload?

321abc Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Sweteck, Well all of this uploading and downloading is all done automatically by Utorrent, i haven't done/retricted anything...(is that what you mean by "BT protocol overheads causing the upload" i don't understand what you mean, im very non-technical sorry)The only reason why im concerned about this is b/c my d/l speed is like a cycle...it d/l at 200kB/s from "that" peer for like 30sec then all of a sudden it stops d/l (and uploading) to that peer and starts to d/l from another peer which makes my d/l speed go down to like 10kb/sec for like 1min...then the cycle reepeats again d/l at 200kB/s from "that" peer.So is there a way to make my d/l speed kept constantly fast by jst d/l from that peer, rather than doing this 'cycle' fashion?

Switeck Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 While it may be automatic...Downloading from someone requires your end to reply back even just to say "send more!". When you're downloading at 200 KiloBYTES/second from them...the upload needed to keep that going can be >1/50th that...or still >4 KiloBYTES/second!No, there are no guarantees of speed from anything using BitTorrent.

321abc Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 ok i see..so how would i reply "send more" to them?Should i select upload limit 'automatic' ? or should i just follow the speed guide table that's on this forum...In other words how do i max my possible d/l limit speed?

Switeck Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Follow my speed guide, 2nd link in my signature.Read CLOSELY -- if the caption below the chart doesn't explain things well enough, ask about particulars.TCP networking has lots of FAQs and wiki info online, try that for more details about how networking works.

Switeck Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Trying to upload faster than your line rally can hurts the download speed FAR worse!Low ratio? Share/upload more then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
