nasaboy007 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I just upgraded to uTorrent 2.0 (windows) and I've noticed that I'm only seeding files (all pieces are set to "don't download" to be on the safe side" and even though none of the torrents have a download speed, the total download speed that's written at the bottom (next to the network status icon) is still at a constant 10 kB/s. This may seem insignificant, but it racks up as my network bandwidth monitor has me recorded for 600+ mb download in the past 8 hours (which the only network traffic my computer could have had was the torrents). That seems extremely high for just protocol traffic (especially since it's constant and it's even happening when I have 0 upload speed, i.e. no network traffic at all). I'm not sure what's going on, but does anybody have a solution or has had a similar problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 What are your preferences - bandwidth and preferences - queueing settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasaboy007 Posted February 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 bandwidth: global upload limit: 0do not alternate upload rate when not downloadingglobal download rate: 0global max # of conns: 200max $ of conn peers / torrent: 50# of upload slots / torrent: 10use additional slots if upload speed < 90%queueing: max active torrents: 8max active downloads: 5seed while ratio <= 200limit upload when seed goal reached: 0And all my torrents are currently being forced seeded, so none of that should affect them.

DreadWingKnight Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Force starting means that torrents don't count towards your queueing totals, and you are likely causing part of the problem by having them force started.Do you have any RSS feeds set up?Do you have DHT enabled?

nasaboy007 Posted February 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Yes, I have DHT enabled. No, I do not have any RSS feeds set up. How would not having them count towards queueing totals create such a high constant download though? (I don't have ANY other torrents running - just 14 seeding torrents that are all complete.) I also have local peer discovery enabled, bandwidth management enabled, peer peer exchange enabled, and ask for tracker scrape information enabled. protocol encryption is disabled, but i allow incoming legacy connections.

DreadWingKnight Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 You have the protocol overhead from the additional connections likely causing part of your problem. Try with all torrents in normal states (not forced) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasaboy007 Posted February 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 That seemed to be the problem - the constant download has dropped from 10 to ~2-3 kB/s now. This seems somewhat reasonable as protocol traffic (if not, please say so). Thanks for the help.Just out of curiosity, why does forcing a torrent to seed have so much more protocol overhead than letting it regularly seed?

DreadWingKnight Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 It's the additional peer connections and the required interactions with those peers that cause the increase in overhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
