parapara5 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 we have number of upload slots per torrent, but where is maximum number of upload slots??? if i have 100 seeds and i set upload slots per torrent to 1, and get 100 people uploading, it will still be too many..... if i have 2 seeds and i set slots per torrent to 5 (hoping to get 10 uploaders), but no one is uploading for one of the torrents, then i will not have enough... i want to maximize upload speed, but uploaders are not distributed evenly among all seeds. so what is the point of upload slots per torrent? (and peers per torrent while we're at it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 More torrents active at a time means that your performance will go DOWN, not up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parapara5 Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 isn't that what i said?oh.. you're saying 2 torrents will seed faster than 100... right, but not if there is no one uploading from the 2 seeds you decide to keep active. so why not have 100 torrents with 'maximum global upload slots ~10 or whatever"?plus wouldn't it be good to keep seeding lots for the rare bits?

DreadWingKnight Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Then why are you trying to keep 100 torrents active on your connection when it can't handle that properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 If you have torrents that are not uploading at all, then the default settings will not count them towards the active torrent count and new ones will automatically start. Running with lower active torrent limits is therefore easier to manage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parapara5 Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 what about something like thisjust a few seeds are active but let utorrent decide for itself which ones?.. the least active torrents gets shut down and it picks another one at random to reactivate?

DreadWingKnight Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 That's basically the way things behave already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parapara5 Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 i'm getting confused. or maybe i didn't explain right - my last proposal is for example if i have 100 seeds, 5 will be started/seeding, the rest will be stopped/finished, but if any of the seeding ones have low activity - then utorrent will stop them and start a different one after like a couple minutes or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Set your active number of torrents low. Let uTorrent handle the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
