Lee Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 I have no limit of the bandwidth uTorrent can used on my connection, but it still decides to use 60kB/s out of a possible 220kB/s. There are enough seeders, that's not the problem.uTorrent will sometimes download at 200kB/s, and then just go down to 100kB/s and then jump back up. It's a pain. Anyone got a solution for this?

Guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Uh, the speeds you get on torrents vary. Just because you have a 2mbit connection doesn't mean on every torrent you're going to max that out. It depends on the speeds seeders/peers will give you, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Not everyone has 220kb/sec uploads.-Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted October 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Like I said in my first post. The seeders are not the problem. I can easily load up Azureus and get 220kB/s on the same torrent, but I can't with uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfire Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 How long did you let both clients run before deciding to stop? µTorrent connects to peers a litle slower to save on resources, so that might be where your speed problem is coming from.

No need to roll your e-eyes on us. :evil: Perhaps some clients are not connecting properly to µTorrent, or maybe the problem is BMAC...either way, you need to give us more details to diagnose your problem.

preelude Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 i have the exact same problem, utorrent doesn't make use of the available bandwidth i have. i have 300k dl and utorrent seems to peak at 160k and fluctuates down to 50k and back up. this has been tested with different torrents from different trackers all WELL SEEDED.i think the problem is utorrent doesn't connect to all available peers even though i increased the max peers to 200, it still stays connected to 50-70 peers (out of 500+ possible) and hovers around there.i think the problem is maybe because there is no 'minimum peers to stay connected' to option in utorrent so thats why its not forced to stay connected to a fixed amount of peers... when i fire up bitcomet and start the same torrent my dl maxes out at 300k usually within the first minute or two with 190-200 peers connected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTorrentUser Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Why DOESN'T Torrent clients connect to ALL Seeds and ALL peers? Like, it will get 50 peers out of 500 or something. Why doesnt it ever connect to them ALL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 It doesnt need to. You dont need to download the same piece from 50 people. You would download the same stuff 50 times and use it only once. Also, Its quite the performance hit to keep connections to 500 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm used to waiting 5 minutes for AZ to pop up, but when it did stuff was going fast. This I start it and wait 5 minutes and then stuff starts rolling. Thanks for the info. I also agree though it feels like UT seems to lack on connecting with others. I understand your point chaos, but I still feel it doesnt connect to as many as it could be to get faster speeds.

Kludge Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I've noticed uTorrent uploading a little irratically, ie 25-32KB/sec, rather than always saturated.. Im sure this is just a small issue, but i guess, after a long while the amount of unsaturated bandwidth does end up... I know uTorrent tried to keep 25% reserved (which is good for default settings at `0` default up and `0` default down (0 being unlimited). But I guess its just a simple case of when i want to max out my uploads, i don't want to allocate a 25% safe blanket... Just a thought, not a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfear Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 I've noticed uTorrent uploading a little irratically, ie 25-32KB/sec, rather than always saturated.. yea i noticed that too and i think it needs a fix. bitcomet is a much better uploader currently :?

myfear Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 which is the one banned from many a priv tracker still? thought it'd be unbanned everywhere by now. oh well...anyway i just tested some more and found out that with increased upload slots the upload-speed does seem to get a little better. still with some nasty speed-drops tho :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaosblade Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 gaelv8: please read the rules next time. mentioning of illegal material is strictly forbidden. You should also remove the link to that index site.myfear: BitComet has some odd issues with misreporting stats. Thats a bad thing for most private trackers.
