musicfeind2001 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 So I've got a few torrents lined up. I select one that I want to download quickly, and one that I want to take it's time, like in the background. So I set the higher priority one on "high" allocation, and the other on "low."So I started the more important one, and it ran at maybe 80kb/s for a little while, then I started the second, which immediately shot to 80kb/s itself, but my more important one dropped to 10kb/s!Why is it doing this? Even if I set the allocation to normal again, the one still outrules the other. The only way I can get any kind of speed on the more important one is to stop all my torrents all together. As soon as I start another torrent, this one drops to (roughly) 10kb/s, never going over 20. I don't understand why it's doing this, with 3 seeds and multiple peers. It's quite frusterating. I'm running Windows Vista with utorrent v 2.0.1. I'm behind a firewall and router but both have port forwarding rules allowed. I'm on a cable internet connection. And when I ran the test torrent, I got 120kb/s within seconds (which I've never seen on any of my regular torrents to begin with!). Please help!

Switeck Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 What results do you get from online speed tests.I'm on ComCast and get 120 KiloBYTES/sec for upload and just over 700 KiloBYTES/sec for download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicfeind2001 Posted May 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 I also have comcast with similair results. I don't remember exactly, just that I've never seen actual speeds close to what it's rated at.What I want to know why/how to fix is when the torrent will be going at good speed until I start another torrent. Even if the second torrent isn't going very fast, my main torrent will still drop to 20kb/s or so anyway, until it's downloading exclusively.
