hkBattousai Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I have a limited internet connection (only 1Mbps), and have two torrents (A and downloading.A: popular torrent with high number of seeds and peersB: rare torrent with low number of seeds and peers"A" gets 90% of the bandwith most of the time. I alter their default settings and give "A" low bandwidth allocation, and give "B" high bandwidth allocation, but it just doesn't make any difference.I don't want to simply limit download speed of "A", because it doesn't increase number of seeds and peers "B" gets, and it is not an efficient and optimal way of distributing the bandwidth equally.The setting "bandwidth allocation" (right click on a torrent, context menu opens > menu item "Bandwidth Allocation" > High/Normal/Low) just has no effect. Priority setting between files in a torrent works great, but there must be a working priority setting between torrents too.Do you plan to improve efficient peer & seed distribution between torrents? Or, do you already have that and I'm missing something?------------My settings:Global number of connections: 250Maximum number of connected peers per torrent: 50Maximum number of active torrents (upload or download): 5Maximum number of active downloads: 3uTorrent version: 3.1.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Your settings don't permit any more than 1 torrent at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkBattousai Posted July 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Your settings don't permit any more than 1 torrent at a time.I'm sorry, I wrote the value of "Global number of connections" incorrectly. It is of course not 50, it is 250 in my settings. I edited my message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Bandwidth allocation (low/normal/high) is only a very minor attempt to preference bandwidth one way or another. It never affects things as much as you're expecting.Seed and peer distribution among active torrents won't help with speed distribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkBattousai Posted July 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Thank you for your reply.Bandwidth allocation (low/normal/high) is only a very minor attempt to preference bandwidth one way or another. It never affects things as much as you're expecting.Then, is there a solution?Seed and peer distribution among active torrents won't help with speed distribution.I understand that number of peers connected is not a clear measure of download speed, but it is roughly/slightly related. It would have been nice if there was an option for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
