gkgkgksla Posted March 26, 2014 Report Posted March 26, 2014 Hi, first of all, sorry about loooong writing I'll put simplified words on bottom of topic. what I would like to talk about is download speed depend on uploading speed. I've researched some about it and I understand its kind of sensitive topic to talk about because it is little far away from "sharing". the reason I want to bring this up is by wonder, not for fighting, so please no throwing rocks here. here is my story I was using Windows XP til yesterday and suddenly I decided to go Win 7(because Microsoft stop supporting soon + 32/64bit things..). I was using uTorrent 3 version, don't really know which specific build(not recent version). I am heavy downloader, I use rss feed/auto download. I keep up my PC long time. However, ever since my HDD failed about 2? years ago I try not to overuse my HDD. I know that torrent is not the only source that makes HDD work harder, but I just wanted to be safe so when I'm away from PC, I set my UPLOAD SPEED to 1kb/s. Even I am away, RSS FEED adds torrents auto/download/seeded. the thing is when I was doing that in XP, download speed was fine, I think it was always at highest rate(if only it had good seed). so I changed my OS to Win 7 today, I tried to re-setup things. I downloaded utorrent(latest version) and I setup RSS Feeds/setting. it was fine until I went away. as usual, I set my upload speed to 1kb/s before I go away, and when I came back, the download was not finished. I was away for several hours and download speed was at some like 1.3~10kb/s seeding was very high(over 100) so I changed my upload speed to unlimited, then download speed directly went to maximum. I tried again, lowered upload speed to least, and download speed went down to 1~10kb/s. I thought maybe because I am using latest version, so I checked different Utorrent versions. but then, everything worked same way. there were many forum topics mentioning "speed reduction on Win7" and here is info/solutions I've found 1.some mentioned about port forwarding2.some solution with cmd commend (netsh), enabling/disabling Win7 network funtions.3.Some about network setting(QoS/wake on lan)4.Utorrent setting/advanced settings (net_overhead, dht, those things)5.using different version of uTorrent(2.0.2/2.2.4 etc..) nothing worked for me but I do not know for sure that those people had same problem like I had(I guess it is not a problem since if I upload it reaches max down speed) Some were asking similar question like I did, but it was harsh, no-one answered many people was saying "use newsworks(? idk what that is)", "if you don't want to upload, then you should look for direct download....more". I understand why people saying that because its against point of torrent(sharing) what I want to know is what/why it is acting different in XP and Win7 anybody have any ideas? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Simplified view 1.in window XP, you can DOWNLOADING MAX while UPLOADING LOWEST(1kb/s) 2.on the other hand, in Win 7, literally, you cannot DOWNLOAD without UPLOADING. 3. Tried with different(old) version uTorrents, did not work. 4. Tried with different settings of window network/uTorrent. did not work. 5. What I want to know is what/why is it acting different in WIN XP and WIN 7
gkgkgksla Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Posted March 26, 2014 interesting found, I just tried same torrent in different PC(WIN7). This PC is old and also torrent client is not latest... I tried same torrent file (good seed big size) at there, and it downloads MAX while uploading 1kb/s now, I really do not know what/why it happens...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 26, 2014 Report Posted March 26, 2014 Don't expect us to help you with leeching like that.Setting your upload speed to 1kbyte/sec will actually do more harm to your hard drive than leaving it unlimited.
