oliver1154 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Hi! Newbie here.I'm downloading a torrent, and the Seeds column shows 3(388). How do I interpret this? Are there 388 Seeds on total and I am only connected to 3 of those?Why am I not connected to all?Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 More connections don't equal better, and yes you read that correctly.http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Of those 338, way fewer than half probably exist.Are you connected to any peers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 3 + 57 = 60So, do you have max connections per torrent set to 60 by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 ...And I still don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linmac Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Ran a speed test and up speed was 1 Mbit/ so settings are as followsUpoad Limit = 90Conns per torrent = 100Max active torrents = 6Upload slots = 6Conns global = 450Max active downloads = 5Both laptop and pc are now showing green, speeds have been pretty decent at times. My provider is Virgin media and I am wondering if they have been to blame at times. Both machines shoed green at roughly 5pm last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Normally, those settings would be ok. But I'm not sure if 1 megabit/sec is your sustainable upload bandwidth or just burst speed. And even if not, 100+ connections at once tends to hose marginal networking hardware and software.Have you changed any advanced settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linmac Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 No have not touched any advanced settings. Have done a couple of speed tests since and I agree that the 1 Mbit/s was probably just a burst average on other tests were around 700 kbit will adjust accordingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 2nd link in my signature...notice how my settings guide differs from the one built-into uTorrent (CTRL+G)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linmac Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 yes spotted the differences and have set utorrent accordingly will post later to tell you how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
