cruxader Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I have a very weird problem.When I sorted my torrents in their download order, I notice this weird phenomena (for the past 6 months).The first active downloading torrent on the list is always very slow (If I re-arrange it to be NOT first, it speeds up!).Anybody know why is this?

Switeck Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I've never noticed that, but it is rare that I have more than 1 or 2 downloading torrents active at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruxader Posted February 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 As I said, this behavior started somewhere around uTorrent 1.8.4 (I think).Just recently joined this forum when invited by uTorrent 2.0...So I thought I would mention it.It is not a huge problem - rather an annoyance and general PITA.It means that I do have to spend some time nursing my torrents - the largest torrents takes longest so they naturally float to the top where they slow down dramatically - adding to the pain. SO I must occasionally clean up and speed them up by moving them down the list!!!!I recalled it started after we experience throttling in Singapore - the aftermath of some severe line outages last year... Since then throttling is lesser but I believe the SIngapore ISP have instituted some form of throttling during certain hours!My total D/L speed varies from 10kb/s to 300+kb/s!

Switeck Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Oh...Singapore. http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=428238#p428238There are some speed issues with uTorrent v2.0's use of uTP by default...lots of people with bad routers can't handle the UDP traffic levels.

cruxader Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I don't think bad router is the issue as I stated that the relative speed fluctuates with the 'first active downloading position" torrent only.A defective router should impact all torrents equally.BTW, the latest update (v2 b18296) a day or 2 ago seems to have fixed this problem.Anybody knows what happens?I said seems because I am down to 1 torrent going (I added a few last night but they finished) and it seems to be pretty snappy. I will report if the issue recurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 A bad router can cause all sorts of weirdness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
