dasmotiu Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I am looking at a running torrent (uTorrent 1.8.5) which has three seeds and eight peers. I started this torrent last night at about 10pm, so it has been active 11 hours. I now have 18% of the file. In terms of percent completed only one of the peers has less of the torrent than I do. The other seven peers all have more, between 37% and 86%. All of those seven have received from me at least twice what they have sent me. One peer (running uTorrent 1.8.1) has 77% of the file. What is unusual is that he has received from me more than 10 times as much as I have received from him. In fact I calculate he has received 75% of what I have, whereas I have received less than 1% of what he has.At this moment the overall upload rate of the torrent is consistently between 5 and 10 times the download rate.Every time the seeds give me a burst of data these other peers gome and garb it, but give me very little in return.Is this normal? I would expect some kind of balance to be achieved over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Are you completely certain you have everything set up properly in µTorrent for your connection's maximum upload rate? Are you sure that you aren't saturating the upload bandwidth (which can choke download)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
