hofshi Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 if you choose an upload of 96k in the speed guide, it will recommend the following:max active torrents: 1max active download: 1connections(per torrent): 50connections(global): 75If one choses to accept these recommendations, the 75 global connections will never be reached.It would make more sense, if when the guide recommends a max of 1 active torrent, it would recommend an identical value in (per torrent) connections, and in (global) connections.

Firon Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Actually, you can. The extra connection #s are for when a torrent becomes slow (<1 KB/s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hofshi Posted March 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 you are right, of course.This hasn't occurred to me.Good to know that it is intentional.thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grendel Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 What about if you had more than one torrent going? Would the global maximum limit the number of connections per torrent. ex. Torrent 1 has 50 connections Torrent 2 can only have 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MietmaN Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 What about if you had more than one torrent going? Would the global maximum limit the number of connections per torrent. ex. Torrent 1 has 50 connections Torrent 2 can only have 25It seems to work like you've written above, well, at least for me. Exactly in this way I limit the number of connections for my seeding tasks, while I'm downloading at the same time (seeding needs much less connections). I start the leeching torrent first, wait for some time (it takes a while ), and then start the seeding one. cheers /MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snodinn Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 I am totally confused. Is there anyone out there that could help an old lady sort out what she has signed up for. I would be willing to phone. I signed up with fullsoftwaredownload as I want to get MS FrontPage, I paid my membership and then couldn't find where I went to download the program. By reading the instructions and following them, or I thought so, I ended up downloading utorrent. Now I don't know what to do with it, as if I end up on the utorrent site my password won't work. Help please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 snodinn: you got scammed, get your money back from your credit card company. µTorrent is freeware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snodinn Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 LOL Thank you. Could I get you to go check out the site? www.fullsoftwaredownload.com I paid them and then was taken to a page on their site where I was told to download the .utorrent program. Then when I tried to go to the utorrent.com and click on download torrents here . . . I basically got the same sign up page. So I tried to login with my ID and password that clickbank provided me with, and was told that it wasn't valid on that page. Fullsoftwaredownload.com has an 800 number, but their hours are only until 7 p.m. EST even though it says 9 p.m. on the website. I used paypal and if they are scamming then I will for sure turn them in. Thank you for the advice. I picked this topic as it was general and I could see that one or two of the posts were recent.

Firon Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 We can't do anything about those sites unfortunately, the only thing we can do is to warn users about getting scammed, and hope that they can get their money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grendel Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 They wouldn't be offering the downloads in torrent form and then reccomending uTorrent as a bit torrent client would they... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 lol I don't think they even do that much. They probably take your money and brush you off to other torrent sites, AND direct victims to BitTorrent client sites, like µTorrent's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r00ted Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 As far as total connections (per torrent), Mainline only uses 55 or something doesn't it? Or does it increase them if necessary (based on speed/etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
