MarkDGaal Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Here is my situation:I'm using uTorrent 2.2.1 build 25130 and a site that uses a private tracker. There is a huge discrepancy in the amount of bandwidth that uTorrent records it is using vs. what is actually being used by the server. If uTorrent is shut down the server uses about 10MBs of bandwidth every 24hours, so there is no virus or otherwise using my machine as a file server. The bandwidth monitor installed monitoring the server is substantiated by my ISPs Bandwidth Cap Tracker.Here is an example of a test I did yesterday: (I've done several of these)BitMeter recorded:2.75GB down and 4.97GB up for a total of 7.69GBUtorrent recorded:940MB down and 2.0GB up for a total of 2.94GBAlso, I am not actually Downloading any torrents, all of the downstream bandwidth, I would assume, is torrent overhead. And no; the server is not used for anything else, i.e. web-browsing, gaming, etc...Please help explain why there is such a large discrepancy, and why there is so much overhead. My ISPs 250GB cap permonth is approached very quickly while uTorrent says I've only used about 150GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 How many torrents?How many peers?Did you turn on the include overhead in calculation settings in uT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkDGaal Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 25 TorrentsAs far as peers on those 25 torrents about 1000 not all active obviously. Far as my settings I have 500 as the max # of connection 100 per torrent and 8 upload slots per torrent.Where is that setting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkDGaal Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 "Apply rate limit to transport overhead" in bandwidthnet.calc_overhead in advancednegative that is disabled/false. I'll do another test with that enabled, even still should I be experiencing a difference of 150% in overhead?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Depending on how active the torrents are, the tracker configuration and other factors that make you not actually upload much real data to peers, you may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkDGaal Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Finally had some room in my ISP bandwidth cap to do some testing, does not look like enabling that feature helped.I set uTorrent to only allow 7GBs per day it hit the transfer cap earlier today but bitmeter recorded a total of 10.37GB of use. (3.82 down/6.55 up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
