Minimum Connections Per Torrent

[jahamaville]

Basically, this setting would make sure there are n slots available for each torrent to make the minimum number of connections.

For example:

Max number of connections globally - 500

Max number of connections per torrent - 500

Number of torrents downloading - 4

Minimum connections per torrent - 30

You have four torrents downloading. 4*3 = 90, 500-90 = 410.

410 is the max number of connections any single torrent can have.

This leaves a minimum of 30 connections available for the other torrents.

lol I was about to complain about people requesting minimum for everything (which is impossible), but then I realized you meant to reserve at least X for each torrent...

There is already a hidden minimum connection value for torrents -- otherwise, µTorrent would try to aggressively reach max number of connections on every torrent.

However the maximum numbers you're using in your example is insanity. Having 100's of connections PER torrent is just wasteful and leechy, unless on a 10+ mbps line. In a sense, you're asking for lots of people to upload to you that you cannot return the favor to.

Ultima: lol, yeah, sorry about that.

Switeck: That's actually how I have my settings in uTorrent. I usually have a few downloads going, and it balances itself out.

To be honest, you should really let Speed Guide handle the connection settings unless you really know what you're doing. Even then, it shouldn't deviate much from what the Speed Guide suggests =T
