st_jesse Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 on friday uTorrent was connecting fine with high speeds (150-300kbps) and connecting to lots of seeds and peers. Yesterday, it dropped to 0.2kbps and connecting to 4(291)seeds and 1(132) peers. Before yesterday they were 130(1321)seeds and similar for peers. No settings were changed between friday and saturday.

bootstrike Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 more info is needed. what is your ISP? (some isps throttle connections at peak times )Have you tried heavily seeded torrents like openoffice and ubuntu? (it may be a line problem) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nord20 Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I have a similar problem and I just can't get to the bottom of it. I currently have 25 downloads queued up (with 30 concurrent down/uploads as my limit).Right now I have a grand total of 1 connected peer - out of well over 2 thousand available (i.e. most torrents look like this: 0(931) 0(324) for seeds and leechers).Suddenly I'll get, for example, 17 leecher (no seeder) peers connected for one torrent, that is way down the priority list and nothing above.Setup details:Vista SP2ISP is Virgin media, 20MegsI leave the client running pretty much 24/7 and have a consistent upload of 35.5Kb/s (throttled - total available Up is 50Kb/s).If you could give me a pointer or two I'd be very grateful!Muchos grassyarse.

Switeck Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 TalkTalk ADSL in UK = Hostile ISP, possibly made worse by uTorrent settings not matching the real conditions. http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=362432#p362432http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=64036 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Middle of the night (about 1 am to 5 am local time) is your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st_jesse Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 yeah, shame i have to be up at 6.30. when i was at uni, we had 24Mbps and speeds were awesome. home is rubbish though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Try using uTorrent's scheduler features...and check it next day to see how it ran in Speed window/tab. (It remembers back ~10 hours.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
