natri23 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 It is advised to un-check/disable "Bandwidth->Apply rate limit to uTP connections" for the time being. This is ONLY for very high speed UPLOAD rates!Didnt you mean check/enable limit to uTP?Without that option, speed limiter always fail...

rafi Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Didnt you mean check/enable limit to uTP?Without that option, speed limiter always fail...Good point!... I did say - only for high speed connections! True, ~50% of connections will not be limited (uTP). But what if you have more than 10Mb/s (1250K) UPLOAD and you want to use 90% of it for pure seeding? If you set a 1000K limit you'll end of with only 500K! So I guess I should be specifying either: - a use-case when you do pure seeding - or if not - I regret to say, disable uTP all together till they'll fix it And remember: only for connections with very high upload rates!

natri23 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 interesting...I have exactly 10Mb/s upload speed and it seems fine with uTP limitedI guess my uTorrent2.2 doesnt have this problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) I guess my uTorrent2.2 doesnt have this problemPossibly. I did see it in 3.x (3.2.1). Either that, or you didn't test it with uTP over 5M ... Try setting advanced->bt.transp_disposition to 26.One question - do you have any *download* limit set?

rafi Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) Well, I found a bypass... So, here is the revised notice:Important notice: It seems that there is an issue with 3.x upload limiter with high-speed connections (upload speeds > 500KB/s) . uTorrent upload limiter fails to limit uTP connections correctly! It seems to limit them to about ~500K . So, unless you want to just not use the limiter for uTP (un-check/disable "Bandwidth->Apply rate limit to uTP connections" ) or just not use uTP (un-check BitTorrent->Enable bandwidth management) here is a tip how to overcome this:* Set any download limit you want * ! Strangely, this seems to help bypass the upload limiter issue Remember: this is ONLY for very high speed UPLOAD rates! and for the time being, till they'll fix the upload limiter Edited September 18, 2012 by rafi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natri23 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Well, I found a bypass... So, here is the revised notice:OK It doesnt seem to be a v2.2 problem but if it is 3.x problem them I might want to disable it too when downloading from another 3.x client.Is there an option to favor TCP over uTP but not disabling it?

rafi Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 No, the design is for just the opposite. It just need to be fixed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natri23 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Say if your uTP is throttled at 500KB/s but if I connect as TCP then you can still upload more than 500KB/s right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) Right. You might find it difficult to connect to peers, that are set with uTP only . Edited September 18, 2012 by rafi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natri23 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I wonder if uTP has any real benefit. They doesnt seem to stop uTorrent from eating up all bandwidth for browser and online media. Even with uTP only, my net browsing still suffers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) I've added my updated draft of the uTorrent help file for version 3.2.1+ . You can find it plus instructions for using it on paragraph 1.It is still not covering 100% of the Advanced options, but does have v3.3 options as well. Let me know if you find any syntax issues, or mismatches. Enjoy! Edited October 24, 2012 by rafi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cacheerror Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 rafi, do you know v3.x that doesn't have cache/high memory consumption bug for >= 10MBps?(im using 2.2.1)Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shows also the memory data in the task manager @20Mbps (my Internet connection rate):http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=686716#p686716You are more then welcome to try at higher speeds and let us know. The only thing to note, is that the cache/IO system seems to be revised at v3.3, but it is still very far from stable!

rafi Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 When I download at full speed 10MBps memory consumption of utorrent get 800MB+ (while using 1024MB cache option) after about 2minutes speed goes down to 2MBps, when it should be 10MBps(downloading from very fast servers).The problem is probably the disk I/O. Write speed (for uT) is slower than the input speed + the lower priority of this IO thread. This is significant with multi-files torrents. If is better with single file torrents. You can try my settings.dat file (upload should be adjusted to your speed). I've reached 15-20MBps with it. 3.3 should eventually do better.

gllmour Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) I dont want to open a whole new thread, so I will ask just here. I have a problem with RSS downloading. At monday, when Im suscribe to a lot of TV series, uTorrent is unable to download all of them (just one or two from list of 5 TV shows from today).I asume, that there is a problem with RSS feed in uTorrent, cause Its able to show just last 70 rss items or so. May question is if its possible to change this number or somebody have different idea about this.

ewaikit Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hey Rafi, Whenever I run uT for over 8 hours, my ram would max out to 99% and system would stall. I am reading through your tips to fix memory issues but on my uT 3.2.2 install, I can't find 'disable windows caching' under 'options' > 'preferences' > 'advance'?Appreciate your help here, txs!

rafi Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 They've canceled it in the latest versions. Unfortunately, they now always use buffered Windows cache . The thing you can do is make you cache size 128/256M so not to fill up Windows memory that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnifix Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Apologies if this is a stupid question. 2b. Set pref->advanced->net.utp_initial_packet_size = 8 (use MTU size, actually 1440...)Does this mean that for best performance I should change 8 to my MTU size of 1472 for optimal performance?

rafi Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 no. "8" is the best you can do - 1440. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
