Torrie Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 I am currently running uT 1.4.2. b428:The first time ever I uploaded private tracker torrents for seeding with uT, not a single one would start to seed, in spite of the fact that all parties were visible to each other (i.e. no NAT problems) and me being online for days on end. Today I made a temporary switch to another ISP, and proceeded to upload three new torrents to the same site as before. One torrent immediately found leechers and this time the data started to upload, but in a cyclic pattern- it would upload for a short while, then drop to zero before starting again and so forth, like a water faucet being turned on and off contiunously.To try and solve the problem, I have for starters disabled my firewall, but to no avail. I have also scanned this forum, and the item closest related to my problem I'd found over here. However, a change in the advanced setting did not improve matters.Thank you, I'd appreciate your advice on this matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 did you try turning on peer.lazy_bitfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, a change in the advanced setting did not improve matters.Yes, thank you Firon, but it did not improve matters. I am still investigating. I may have jumped the gun when I stated "cyclic". It was like that for a short while, until I added other torrents to the mix. Now the best way to describe it would be "erratic", I think - going way up and then down to almost nothing.I have also just now installed the latest uT build (431) and will report back as time wears on..Much appreciate your help with this Ps: Running a ipblocker (as opposed to ipfilter.dat from within uT) could be the cause of the problem? I am concentrating on this as well to try and find a solution.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Can you find out if your ISP throttles or blocks BT traffic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrie Posted March 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 As a matter of fact, the BT traffic is "shaped" (throttled). However, this never before made this kind of impact on seeding my own torrents in the way I'd explained before. Previously downloaded torrents being seeded do not show this peculiar behaviour. I can now confirm that the "cyclic" upload speed pattern (zero to max, max to zero) persists i.e. no sign of a steady upload stream/speed with the normal, only slight variations. Even worse, to date three of my torrents are still not uploading at all even though there are leechers present. This is on the one private tracker that I support.

chaosblade Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 This does sound like ISP malware though. You could always try running with lazy bitfield on aswell as encryption and hope that enough people are using either the uTorrent betas or Azureus 2.4.0.0 and upwards.

Torrie Posted March 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Thanks, Chaosblade. I've run both the blue frog and uT clients at two different ISP's, so I am using that as a point of reference. Three months with the "blue" without any seeding problems at all. I am a recent convert to uT (2-3 weeks, so I am still getting the hang of it). The point I wish to bring across is that for the ISP argument to hold water, all my torrents have to be seeding in this way- not only my own creations. Out of only six newly created torrents so far, not a single one has seeded (data uploading) correctly, in spite of leechers being present, whilst the balance, previously downloaded torrents, are running just spif.

splintax Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Just to check: you're not using super seeding, are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Only with uTorrent-Created torrents, or any created torrent that you initially seed dont work?Also, was this in superseeding mode or normal mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrie Posted March 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Only with uTorrent-Created torrents, or any created torrent that you initially seed dont work?Also, was this in superseeding mode or normal mode?1. uTorrent-created. Those previously creatred with the froggie seeds fine.2. Superseeding mode, though I've tried it in both the disabled and enabled modes.Observation: I've started using uT v1.4.2.432 now, switched the seeding mode from superseeding to normal, and so far the seeding seems to proceed without problems..
