zamarac31 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I'm using uTorrent 1.8.4. Some peers soak a lot of upload traffic, while limiting their own upload bandwidth. For them it's better to limit upload bandwidth, giving it to others. It kind of works automatically like this, but not always perfect. Is there any way to manually set upload / download bandwidth to each peer, or redistribute max assigned bandwidth btw all connected peers within a single torrent?If this feature is available, in what uTorrent version? What's the last version for Win98SE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 If you're uploading quickly to 1 peer but not others, it's because they can download FAR quicker than the others.What's your upload slots set to?How many active torrents?Each torrent have peers trying to download from you?KernalEX for Win98SE still allows uT v2.0.1 to run, if you create a 0 byte settings.dat in the folder with the utorrent.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zamarac31 Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 4 upload slots (what does it mean?), 1 active torrent with downloading peers. One peer is taking most of the upload traffic, while giving almost nothing. I wanted to delete or block him - can't find this function. Can I? Also, there is no option to manually adjust traffic for each peer. Why such limitations?What's the main advantage of uTorrent 2.01 compare to 1.8.4? Will it allow to download faster - why? Also, why some peaces are downloaded fast, while others from the same peer are started and then get frozen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Why are you even running 98? :/And it's because you are not supposed to micromanage torrents. That's why you can't block particular peers easily. To most of the people YOU download from, you look like the same kind of leecher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zamarac31 Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Hardware limitations allow Win98 only - surprised?Micromanage torrents - what it has to do with managing peers? A user should have control over key performance features of the application, because it occupies the user's network. People get rid of EMule like soft because it was too agressive: give me everything or...you get nothing.OK, I found about ipfilter.dat. This file should also allow to set bandwidth limits for individual peers, when needed. It will be needed only rarely as exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 zamarac31 said, "4 upload slots (what does it mean?), 1 active torrent with downloading peers."4 upload slots = upload to 4 peers at once per torrent.Since you only have 1 active torrent with downloading peers, that means there's only 4 peers downloading from you at once so it's not unlikely that 1 peer will get a lot more than others.If you have a fast upload (like 100+ KB/sec) and you're only running 1 torrent, try raising upload slots to 10.
