Why does seeding from Windows7 work better then MacOSX?

[phase52010]

Hello;

 

Because a few programs I need aren't available for the Mac, I have Windows 7 installed using VMFUSE.

 

And as Windows7 is connected to the internet through the Mac I thought I'd try a little experiment.

 

So after setting up a torrent on my Mac I download to Windows7 which took no time at all.

 

uTorrent on Windows7 then started seeding the torrent.

 

So I was seeding the same torrent from MacOSX and Windows7, both through the same ADSL2+ connection.

 

What I found was that the same torrent uploading from windows7 had a much better upload speed. Sometimes 10 times better.

 

I tried setting up uTorrent to match the settings on windows7, but it made no difference.

 

any thoughts on why this happens?

 

robert.

Did you try one client at a time? Running two simultaneous is silly.
