terrorbyte Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Hello, recently my speeds have begun to fluctuate, from 0 to ~500 and back every couple of seconds. This is getting REALLY annoying. I have uninstalled and reinstalled uTorrent, rechecked all my settings, and direct download/upload is working fine.Any suggestions?

Switeck Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Depending on your settings and torrent activity levels, this may be a known problem:http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/3038/utorrentoceanwaves2.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larimani Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 I have the same issueIs there a fix or an ETA on a fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larimani Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 And the same graph on a 30 sec resolution (5min grid)While uploading a single torrent where i'm the only seed and i have 20 leechers. No download running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Or ISP bandwith throttling perhaps? What's yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larimani Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Ya, I'm reaching the same conclusion. ISP is Virgin Media in the UK (50Mb fibre-optics). I know they've recently changed some of their bandwitch policies.The reason that didn't jump to mind is i thought ISP throttling would be smoother instead of spikey like that.The other thing is that i did a Glasnost test and it says my bandwidth is not being throttled.

Switeck Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 (Very bursty upload speeds)While uploading a single torrent where i'm the only seed and i have 20 leechers. No download running.Are those 20 peers regularly disconnecting? What's your uTorrent settings? (Especially upload slots per torrent max, global and per-torrent connection max, uTP enabled/disabled, and DHT enabled/disabled.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure its not my isp.I tested out some of my torrents on Vuze, and I'm getting a steady upload. BUT I DONT WANNA USE VUZE D: I like my uTorrent lol ;] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Larimani,Disable all those options and set global conn. max to 60 and per-torrent conn. max to 30.Set max upload speed to 120 KB/sec.ISP throttling and disruption types can have very strange effects on uTorrent's speed graph.(Virgin Media has a bad rep, thanks to their public announcement to attack BitTorrent traffic.)terrorbyte,You may have a router overloading...and it takes a few seconds to a minute to dump "excess" ip entries to act semi-stable (briefly!) again.

terrorbyte Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Switeck,Could you explain what you mean by a router overloading? And the steps I should take to solve this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Many cheaper consumer routers overload before they reach 100 simultaneously connected ips.Reduce connections, turn off extra features that make more connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larimani Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I tried switeck's settings. Same symptoms.Whatever is it, it's a new issue.I never had this problem with default or automatic settings before and i've been using utorrent for years.I suspect the issues is with:a) Deep Packet Inspections newly implemented by my ISPor A new bug of some sort in newer versions of utorrentbtw: router is WRT54G with Tomato 1.28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Test without your router if you really want to know the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
