(total 20)Maximum download set to 100 kB/s on each machine. (200 total)Maximum number of connections 50 on each machine.

redbourn Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 @DreadWingKnight"I never claimed to be nice".After you posted, "FAQ and Search Use them" in response to my previous post, I spent 15 minutes going through the FAQ and found nothing even closely relevant to my question.The answer was, "turn off initial seeding" which moogly suggested.What is the point of simply pasting "FAQ and Search Use them"?The question that I posted above is VERY specific and I'm hoping to get a very specific answer.Do you have any ideas on what I should change?Thanks,Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbourn Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I used the advice here and everything seems to be working fine now :-)http://triponic.com/guidestutorials/optimal-utorrent-settings/Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Not recommended, nor supported settings due to the recommendation to needlessly increase halfopen connection limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Try my speed guide instead -- 2nd link in my signature.Do note that if you're having connection issues, even my speed guide MAY recommend too many connections at once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbourn Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 @Switeck #7Thank for your reply. Funnily enough I found your speed speed guide about an hour before coming back here.This is the present situation. My flatmate downloaded and installed utorrent too, so it's now on two pcs using a router.I did 2 bandwidth speed tests earlier without utorrent or any other up or downloads taking place on either machine.Today 09:44 2430 kbps (304kB/s) 442 kbps (55.3kB/s) Today 09:37 1847 kbps (231kB/s) 490 kbps (61.3kB/s)It's quite a bit slower than we normally get but it's probably better to assume lower figures rather than higher ones.My flatmate was downloading a lot today and even when I had utorrent closed I could hardly surf the newspapers.He has his download speed set to 0 and I wonder if that's the problem.If you could give me some settings to put on both pcs I'd much appreciate it.Nothing that either of download is ever very urgent ;-)Many thanks,Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 It'll be terrible to try to run 2 uTorrents at once. You simply don't have a lot of upload speed to split between 2 uTorrent clients AND web surf at the same time.So either run 1 at a time, or you'll have to use the 256 kilobit/sec upload settings (or lower!) for both.

redbourn Posted September 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Thanks very much.Makes sense.Today for example we have Today 05:42 4718 kbps (590kB/s) 454 kbps (56.8kB/s)But our upload still isn't much higher than yesterday.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 You probably only have ~512 kilobit/sec upload max, but if you're on ADSL...maybe only about 450 kilobit/sec is usable by uTorrent due to overheads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
