Guest Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 it seems now that utorrent isn't really that slow, it just takes AGES to speed-up... it can get up to 150kb/s+, just takes about 30-60min to get to those speeds. once there, it's fairly fast but the speeds still tend to jump up and down a lot.

Guest Posted September 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 routers can only handle around 125 connections at once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 whether that's true or not, it's bullshit. i can get very high speeds with my router, definitely making over 125 connections, i don't know where the hell you are getting your info from.

Guest Posted September 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 just to add, utorrent was varying from 130-170kb/s and then it hit 2kb/s (for 2 files), it's been 10 minutes since and it's back around the 40s, just to let you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vurlix Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Routers have no concept whatsoever of connections. They just move packets down the wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 99% of consumer routers are NAT routers which require a NAT table. Many of these are cheap and only have like 512kb of RAM for the NAT table, so too many TCP connections cause them to crash or lose connectivity etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vurlix Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Ahhh.. the NAT tables... fun512kb would be enough to hold over 50000 table entries, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Well, maybe 512kilobit then . Either way, it's usually very small. Typically between 128-512 connections on most "routers" is enough to cause problems. Some routers provide a 'direct IP' mode which doesn't use NAT but simply shunts packets to a single computer, this is much better for P2P as then you're only limited by the OS as to how many connections you can make.

Oh , the guy who reckons most routers handle 125 sessions is talking rubbish as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vurlix Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 160 bytes? what the heck could it be storing in there... sheeesh.Whatever the case, some adjustments need to be done to µTorrent to more reliably and more quickly establish peer connections...

Guest Posted September 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 when using abc for example, I also get higher speeds. Utorrent seems slower indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
