downloading slowly despite high number of seeds


Braille Operatic

Recommended Posts

well only 2 seeds isn't much. and it mainly depends on how high they have their upload speed set. i just solved my slow download speeds by raising the upload speed. (whodathunkit. XD). i mean i'm no expert, but i know enough to know that you are obviously dling a fairly large file and only 2 seeds aren't gonna cut it for ya. i suggest wading it out to see if more will seed. if not check more sites for more seeds to add. anyways goodluck. =>

Well that's what I'm saying. There's over 1300--1500 now--seeds in the swarm, and I'm only connecting to two of them. I think I'm asking if there's a way to increase the number of seeders I'm connecting to, instead of just settling on the two that connected automcatically instead of just sitting around and waiting the 12 weeks to a year.

So seed = 2 (1319) and peers = 23 (27955).

For every seed, there are over 20 peers.

You connected to 2 seeds that probably have LOTS of peers to connect to!

So the seeds quickly fill up with peers and won't allow any more.

Worse, if they're connected to say 50 peers...they may be uploading very slowly to many of them or not uploading at all to many of them (at least for long intervals).

Lastly, those seed/peer numbers may not be real...right-click on the torrent, advanced, clear peer list. By next tracker update you'll get a NEW list of peers/seeds to connect to and not be saddled with retrying old+dead ips.

Another thing...what is your UPLOAD doing at this time?

Peers will generally upload the most to the peers that upload the most to them.

Is your upload speed staying at the max you set it?

I have the exact same problem here. have already tried everything i could find here at uttorent.com

If the torrent has lots of peers and seeds (i mean LOTS) download and upload max out. (download 340kB/s avg. and upload 37kB/s avg. (thats all my connection can deal with))

but when I am downloading some torrents with few, it starts well but suddenly it starts to crash the connection and after 1 day it wont go faster than 20kB/s download and 10kB/s upload.

High now I am trying a torrent that is happening this. availavility uses to be averaging 15. I have downloaded torrents with availability at 3... 5 at max and it would max out speeds anyway.

Yesterday I gave my last try: Thinking about it I thought this started when I upgraded to the new beta version last week. so I downgraded back to 1.8.5. Same thing!

Something got my attention that here at the forum I saw that net.max_halfopen is default 8 and it is useless to set it higher than that, some cases lower actually helps. BUT my 2.0 Beta utorrent had 100 set to default!!

I hope we can fix it :/

EDIT: now availability is 15 as some peers finished downloading or close to finish. I restarted computer and disabled DHT for the specific torrent and after a few minutes my speeds ar nearly maxed out but it crashes really often. it stays down, averaging UL speeds at 25kB/s (which is much better already) and DL 15kB/s then often suddenly it goes faster, sometimes max, for only some seconds. When the speed crashes all peers and seeds disconnect. Hm, and if it helps, while utorrent is downloading this specific torrent web surfing (firefox) is CRAP slow. and closing firefox does no help for utorrent.

Hm, should I add the info required at this link >>http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992<< as I saw on other threads or not, i d k cuz it is not originally my thread... should I create a new thread?

EDIT2: lol ok I wont edit anymore. just to say that after about 15 minutes it is already 70% the way to the total crap it was b4 restarting.

Braille Operatic,

If you're not getting max upload speed despite 10+ connected peers and you have something they want (meaning you're not on 0%) then something is indeed wrong with your end. It's still possibly the ISP, but more likely it's just a screwed-up computer...or serious bugs in whatever uTorrent version you're running.

1st link in my signature, very bottom...do a Process Explorer log. I'm hoping to spot a non-Microsoft DLL crippling uTorrent.exe

TallicaDan,

I'm not particular...post here or make a new thread. :P
