justatemp Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I have seen several questions posted on this with no valid answers so trying again with a picture this time. The depicted sinusoid extends indefinitely in both directions. Why does this happen? Note, I can read and follow instructions as scattered about the forums. And, I did run the setup utility which is awesome but apparently not awesome enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
licurg Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Could be any from a bunch of reasons.Actually, some more detailed info would be nice to narrow it down: client version; router or direct connection; does it happen all the time or periodically, with all torrents or randomly; how many active seeds/leeches.When you take a speed test, is it downloading/uploading smoothly or fluctuating?

Kitsoran Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Do speed tests give constant results and what happens when you transfer a libreoffice torrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxKohler Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I'm having the same problem: http://puu.sh/aUO9n/ab8eaa297a.png The same thing happens with the libreoffice torrent.Speed tests seem to give constant results.utorrent setup guide detects my upload speed limit at around 760kB/s, but my actual upload speed stays under 200kB/s.Glasnost test says everything is fine: http://glasnost.mpi-sws.org//bb/glasnost.php?protocol1=BitTorrent&protocol2=control%20flow&port=6881&port2=46490&dir=0;1&flow0=6407;5342;5318&flow1=5540;5521;5548&flow2=5532;5540;5517&flow3=5361;5265;5348&flow4=20203;19130;19132&flow5=16778;20102;20251&flow6=20254;19131;16505&flow7=15861;17832;19130&details=yesClient is the latest one (3.4.2).I connect directly to my modem.I have 9 torrents with hundreds of seeders and leachers all behaving the same way.Outgoing encription is enabled.My ISP is Cox, which does not throttle torrents.

DreadWingKnight Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 The DVD installer editions of linux distros like slackware (from http://www.slackware.com/getslack/torrents.php ) end up being better speed testers because of their larger size. The jaggedness of your speed indicates you're close to your line's download limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The download speed stays around 3.0mB/s. The upload speed stays around 200kB/s. Just now my download speed jumped up to 6mB/s (then plumetted again to 1mB/s). Which is the expected speed. The utorrent setup guide detected my upload speed at 760kB/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxKohler Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 The rate seemed to be pretty stable as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 3mbyte/sec down, 1mbyte/sec up is what that is capable of. Detecting your recommended upload speed of 760kbyte/sec is about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I'd be happy if the 760kB/s was what I was getting in utorrent. But I'm only getting around 200 and it's extremely unstable. Like it'll jump up to 300kB/s, then a second later drops immediately down to 17kB/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Upload speeds on already highly seeded torrents will be unstable. I don't actually have good torrents for testing upload speed with. Additionally, internet providers are more likely to interfere on the upload speed side of things.

I don't actually have good torrents for testing upload speed with.Additionally, internet providers are more likely to interfere on the upload speed side of things.But it's both the download and upload which are unstable. They're also both unstable at the same points. I was just going to take another screenshot showing that both upload and download dip at the same time but my download speed shot up to 9.6MB/s for a second and destroyed the graph visibility. EDIT: I just downloaded and installed another bittorrent client to test with and it did the same thing with the slackware torrent. So I'll contact my ISP. Thank you for your quick help Dread! Warning: You connection shows signs of ISP upload compression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
