swisschick Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Hi, I recently noticed that I was using a lot more internet usage than I thought I was.In an attempt to debug this, I installed a net meter program on my computer which shows upload and download speeds from my computer. I noticed that the total speeds in utorrent are inconsistant with the total speeds in netmeter when it is the only internet-using program i have open. In particular, the upload speed seems to be about 10x higher when I limit the upload speed per download to 1 kb/s. any ideas about why they are so different and how to fix this? is utorrent reporting inaccurate speeds or is there a different problem??

ciaobaby Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Client version and build?Operating system?Screen shot of "Bandwidth" setting?Also "speed" and and data transfer (usage) are two different things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Oh and don't forget that, unless you have a machine dedicated to uTorrent what goes through your internet connection is NOT JUST uTorrent traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swisschick Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Client version and build?Operating system?Screen shot of "Bandwidth" setting?Also "speed" and and data transfer (usage) are two different thingsutorrent 3.2 build 27568Win 7 64 bitbandwidth setting??I get that utorrent isn't the only thing that does transfers to/from my computer, but I stopped any other programs that may use the internet before I checked this, and the transfer speeds both read 0 then started utorrent and get this inconsistancy...not sure how to attach an image to the post...speed and usage are two different things - I get that some discrepancies are neccessary due to other neccessary data transfer for the wanted info to be downloaded, and the variation in download speed reflects that: ie utorrent says 500 kb/s netmeter says 550 or 600... sure, 10% I can handle that... What I don't get is the 10-fold increase for uploads, ie u torrent says 5.4 kb/s total, netmeter says closer to 60... I did this same comparison years ago on a different computer older version of utorrent etc etc and they pretty much matched up, so what's changed to make them so different now?

ciaobaby Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 You do know that kB/s (as on the status bar) is kiloBYTES per second whereas your connection will be in kbs (kiloBITS per secondA byte is 8 bits therefore 1 kBs = 8 kbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
