svgmzr Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I have around 50 torrents seeding in utorrent (most of them are inactive) and connection to a tracker and to seeds takes too much time. If I pause everything the download starts immediately. I have patched tcpip.sys to allow 1000 half-open connection. Are there some other tweaks I could use to improve the situation?

DreadWingKnight Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Run fewer torrents at a time, let uTorrent pace your attempts to connect to new torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 If you don't want answers like mine, provide a useful amount of information including your connection limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svgmzr Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I have 10Mbit line and use recommended settings:800 global max connections, 125 max connected peers per torrent, 25 upload slots per torrent, 15 max active torrents.

DreadWingKnight Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Your number of active torrents is causing you to attempt to have 1875 connections globally.Try with 50 connections per torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Are 10M the upload speed of your ADSL line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svgmzr Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I have Ethernet, symmetric 10Mbit.Setting connections per torrent to 50 didn't help. It takes around a minute to connect to the first peer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brainrust Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I'm having the exact same problem, but this has only started happening in the last couple months. I'm runnings Windows 7 x64, but that can't be the problem, since I've been running Vista x32 before that and had the exact same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 What uTorrent version and build number are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brainrust Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Right now, 1.8.5, build 17091.. but I've had the same problem with 1.8.4 and earlier builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 brainrust, you haven't given us your settings yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brainrust Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Sorry about that. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and have an upstream of about 3 Mbit/s (in practice I can reach speeds of about 375 kb/s up) 20 Mbit/s downstream.Settings are: 800 global max connections, 125 max connected peers per torrent, 25 upload slots per torrent, 15 max active torrents. Max upload 275 kb/s, max download 1800 kb/s. Other settings are at the default. Port forwarding is working. I have not done any tcpip.sys patching. Whenever I'm seeding more than a certain number of torrents. .even though I'm hardly uploading, I can add a new torrent to download and it sees a lot of leechers and seeders (between the brackets), but it doesn't connect to any of them. That is, until I either pause or stop all other torrents and BANG within seconds I'm downloading at my maximum speed. It's like that all the time. I've experimented with settings and it did seem like raising global max connections helped, but insofar that the number of seeding torrents can increase a little more before the same thing start occuring again.

DreadWingKnight Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 The reason for that is your settings are EXTREMELY bad.1875 connections are being attempted globally with an 800 connection limit.Run fewer torrents at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 I think there's a bigger problem than just that.Are you even NEAR connection max?Have you changed any advanced settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
