Overhead problem

[Ozpa]

Hi guys,

I've just updated

uTorrent 1.8.4 Build 16688 -> uTorrent 2.0 Build 18620

and the first thing I noticed is the huge increase in overhead. My internet connection is 4mbps(512kb/s) down / 1,5mbps(192kb/s) up.

With the older version I used to set the upload to 150kb/s and it always stayed on that speed with overall upload speed at around 180-185kb/s shown by DU Meter (which is 30-35kb/s of overhead). And now when I set UL speed to 150kb/s my upload hardly goes over 130kb/s with DU Meter reporting my upload maxed out at 190kb/s.

When updating the program I completely un-installed last uTorrent with all the settings and such, because I have made screenshots of the program's settings so I could set up the latest version the same way. Actually, with the latter version I had DHT turned on and I turned it off now and still my overhead has close to doubled.

Any ideas? :/

Try with uTP disabled.

Preferences, BitTorrent...disable Bandwidth Management.

(and maybe restart to get existing uTP connections to close)

Oh yea without Bandwidth Management it's almost back to normal now.

My setting for that in Advanced is 15 (the default).

Disabling Bandwidth Management in Preferences, BitTorrent also sets bt.trans_disposition to 5.

Try the rest of slow speed sections in 1st link in my signature...
