carl606 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 HelloWhen you click on a torrent that you are downloading in utorrent, and then click on the tracker tab.Can anyone direct me or tell me, where i can find out what the information means on the tracker tab.I might have missed it looking on the help pages.

carl606 Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 ARR, yes moogly found it, thankyou so much.Not sure if i should post a new topic for this, but i will mention it.My upload speed on the "connection type" is xx384 kbps I was just wondering what this means on the "affected settings" upload limit 35 KB/s is this still kilo bits per second, and what does the "upload limit mean"If you want to moogly, i can post a new topic on this, or what would this be under in the help pages.... :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Just look at this chart http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=58404 about the UL speed.So in your case, uT will never exceed 35 kB/s (B = Byte) and you can use the rest of your bandwidth to web surf, phone or play online.Conversion: 8 kb/s (bit) = 1 kB/s (byte).

carl606 Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 thanks moogly.Some good information in there,So when you do a speed test about 4 or 5 times and you pick the average speed, which in my case was about 376 kb/s.I could be wrong how this works, i just got the calulator, so 376 kb/s would be 47 KB/S So the upload limit is 35 KB/s so does this mean it leaves you some like you say for web surf, phone etc..some added infoI done the speed test at www.mybroadbandspeed.co.uk, and this was the average.the router is a bt home hub 2.0, and i am on a wireless connection, and about 200 yards from the exchange.I have no idea if this is the normal speed , or if you can even increase your upload speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 You can use this website to measure the speed, they have many servers in the world: http://www.speedtest.net/(you can make 2 or 3 runs and compute the average, no p2p, websurf etc during the test of course)If you measured 47 KB/s, you can see the chart gives 35 KB/s as max UL (line 384 kbit/sec). And that's near 47 x 75%. So you save 25% of your max UL to do anything else than p2p.Line 384 kbit/sec is a good ref. for your connection. Now you can use the chart to set Preferences > Bandwidth and Preferences > Queuing in uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl606 Posted September 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Thanks moogly, I Tried a few servers in the uk moogly (upload speed) this is coming back at 0.38mb/s.....i take it this is (megabytes per second).Which i am not sure how you would work this out in kbps, but it sounds roughly the samehttp://www.speedtest.net/result/563813969.png.I always get confused over "megabits" "and mega bytes" and how you can tell if its bits or bytes, can you put me straight on this.(ie} my wireless connection status says 54.0 mbps...is this (megabits per second)So would this be rightO.38mb/s = MEGABYTES PER SECOND54.0mbps= MEGABITS PER SECONDI was just going on this384 kbps = kilobits per second35 KB/s = Kilobytes per secondI am making note's on all of this moogly so i don't forget....

GTHK Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Capital B = bytes, other people get confused though, so try KB/s vs. Kbps (instead of Kb/s).54Mbps = Megabits per second, on the wifi link this is your transmit rate (raw speeds). I've seen my router have a different transmit rate from me, usually slightly lower. The rate will become lower to compensate for low signal strength.Mbps/8 = MB/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 The wireless speed of 54 megabits/sec is often less than 1/3 usable due to overheads, packet loss, and encryption. WEP can consume up to 80% of the bandwidth and has been thoroughly cracked -- hostile attackers can connect to a WEP network in less than 2 minutes. WPA and WPA2 consumes less bandwidth and are more secure...WPA2-AES has not been broken yet as far as I know.The speed test result of 0.38mb/s upload is 0.38 megabit/sec -- ADSL generally cannot go faster than 1 megabit/sec upload. This means 384 kbps = kilobits per second which also means about 35 KB/s = Kilobytes per second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTHK Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Nice quoting skills (sorry XD)Good choice on WPA+AES, though hardware support isn't available in some very old tech. WPA+TKIP was made so that equipment using WEP could upgrade using only firmware, for the most part (WEP uses TKIP as well).Reaching EOL though..

carl606 Posted September 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 On the tracker tab under peers, it mentions in the user guide "displays the number of peers retured by the tracker scrape"What is the tracker scrape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
