Peer cripple

Hi all,

I am running utorrent 1.5,

The problem I have is that when I am downloading I can get my max of 860k a sec but then all of a sudden the peers start uploading to me at like 20 k a sec and I am lucky if I can download at 100k overall on a torrent. Now I had the network ok message as I opened up the port on my hardware router so that peers can connect to me fine, however I think this is the root of the problem. Because when I change the port on utorrent to random or whatever I can download at max rate all fine without any issues.

I dont quite understand how this problem is around I mean surely it should be the other way if you have all the ports closed that you cant download not the other way.

I think some of my advanced settings could be a little messed up however.

Im on a 8064/576 syncedconnection. Effective at around 860kdl/62kul a sec.

DHT is disabled. I removed add to winxp firewall as I do not use that I use sygate which is set to allow utorrent connections.

Global Max Connection : 5000

Maximum Number of Connected Peers Per Torrent : 500

Number of Upload Slots per Torrent : 10

net.max_halfopen : 45

diskio.wite_que_size : 6880 = 860 * 8 (I read on another thread I should do this)

Any help appreciated. As going in and out of my router settings to open up a port so I can make sure I am connectable when doing upload only is a bit tedious.

Thanks

Speed guide gives unpractical settings. And I doubt that would make any difference.

I had 5000 connections before and I had no issues on the previous versions.

What upload+download speed limits are you using in µTorrent?

(overloads are bad)

What actual UPLOAD speeds are you giving to others using µTorrent?

(are you actually getting and sustaining the limits you set?)

Are you giving at least 2 KB/sec PER upload slot PER torrent?

(with 10 upload slots per torrent...and 62 KB/sec total max upload...your upload speed PER person may be very low)

When I am downloading I cap my uploads to 15k a sec.

When I upload max rate at 60k a sec or so. Most peers are getting around 3-25k as I seed older torrents instead of newer.

I changed it to 4. So people will get higher rates but usually not a problem.
