Switeck Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Your networking hardware or software is probably suffering from an overload...but doing so at a slow degradation rate.1st and 2nd links in my signature.Also try rafi's uTorrent v2.0.X Migration Guide here: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=74820 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurjs Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 set it to what the speed guide has recomendedwell i just tried using bitorrent 6.4 and i am getting the same speed with no speed drops what so ever, i almost cant beleive it. there should be some settings i could change in my utorrent to make itrun like bitorrent im just not sure what they are. others are having this problem also so this might be a solution. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 The speed guide is often wrong.What's the speed of your connection and what settings did you really use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurjs Posted June 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 speed test say i get around 7 mb down and .33 mb upi use 50 connections per torrent and 200 all together but i have played with these settings they dont fix my speed drops as well as a few other settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 .33 megabit/sec upload should use 320 kilobit/second upload settings from my chart (2nd link in my signature.) That's pretty low-end for upload.7 megabit/sec down shouldn't be capable of reaching 1000 KiloBYTES/second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurjs Posted June 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 ok i see but why do i stil get these sudden speed drops..... it happens all the time even with really high seeds... it will be at like 800kbps then it goes down to like 100 and never get back to where it was.... why is it doing that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurjs Posted June 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 lol nah my isp is good it doesnt throttle cuz i get good speeds with bittorrent but it just takes a bit longer to reach them....utorrent climbs to my peak of around 900k's no problem then drops oh well its all good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronk Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 This is what was just happening to me- I normally have fast speeds, but recently it would start off well but within 5-10 minutes it would just DROP to 10k. I even left the torrents go for 2 days, just in case I was simply having bad luck at that moment and it just needed to find the right peer or seed. When I checked after 2 days, they looked as though they had been at 10k or even just STOPPED for most of the time, as they were only up to 1.7%.At first I though maybe my ISP started throttling all of a sudden (which I thought to be unlikely, but possible), so I set the protocol encryption to enable and checked the legacy connection box. At about the same time, I came across stuff about uTP and 2.0.2 and overhead and how uTP, in essence, hogs bandwidth, only to not even use it. Which is weird, because apparently uTP was WRITTEN to detect if anything else wants the bandwidth, and to back off accordingly. All I know is that it's only doing this in version 2.0.2, so I don't know if the default settings for it are different or something, but on MINE, the default setting was 31 and I changed it to 29, which would mean I simply disabled outgoing uTP connections, leaving everything else the same. The advanced setting to change is bt.transp_disposition, BTW.Thirdly, I set the dht.rate so it's NOT "-1", and at least above 100,000. I have mine set at 4,000,000 right now.I'll bet it'll work after these things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurjs Posted June 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 well did what u did but now i cant connect to that many peers and my dl rate is like 100k's on well seeded torretns....... id rather leave it the way it was with the speed drops cuz i would reach 1mb for like 10 mins then it would drop.....then i just close and reopen utorrent and its back up again lolso frustrating i never had this problem like 4 months ago i dont know i might try a diff version or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 and unsupported because of this:i down-graded to 1.8.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
833P Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I went back to 1.8.5 after having exactly this same problem with uTorrent v2, downloads dropping to nothing within a minute of so of starting uTorrent. Seems to have resolved this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

833P Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I would have thought that that's something that the developers need to look into, as I'm using identical settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 That doesn't make them good settings in either version.Provide your preferences - queueing, preferences - bandwidth and a list of modified advanced settings please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
