ColdArmor Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Are there any +/- 's to having Pre-Allocate to 'True'? other clients do it, but it's no on by default in uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfire Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Are there any +/- 's to having Pre-Allocate to 'True'? other clients do it, but it's no on by default in uTorrent.The way I see it, pre-allocate makes sure all the data allocated is as contiguous as possible, while if i have multiple downloads using multiple programs running, I might have the two different downloads having alternating blocks of allocated space, which isn't too awesome. I do have Diskeeper running in the background, but I still hate fragmentation to death, especially since on a laptop, you really feel any performance hits on a 5400RPM disk.[/off topic] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slayers Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 @Pwnage: halfopen refers to Windows' limit on the number of connection attempts it trys to make before queueing them. If you have never heard of lvlords patch (and use WinXP) leave it at it's default 8.@Rock: The fundamental thing you have to understand is that the faster you upload the better your downloads. It's not a direct relation but it is built into the core of the bittorrent protocol itself.You are limiting your uploads to a snail pace of 5 kB/s so that's going to affect your download overall. Is your upspeed 256k as well? If so, change that limit to 25 kB/s.You've got 384 max peers per torrent which is too much. Change that as per the wiki instructions I posted about.Max active of 8 with 4 upload slots per torrent makes you seed to a total of 32 peers max. With a total upload of 5 kB/s you are giving each one 0.16 kB/s. Sh*t, I'd be really mad if I were one of them... But the protocol doesn't have any emotion and it will just snub you or chose other peers which again is going to affect your download speeds.

I manage to max my connection around 315K/sec down and 52K/sec up. I also run cFosSpeed which allows me to browse the net without ever limiting my upload speed. Seems to help my download speeds on torrents as well while I'm uploading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big thanks "slayers"now how about 'write_queue_size' will this effect download speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayers Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Glad it's working for you. now how about 'write_queue_size' will this effect download speed?If you seriously screw it up, yeah I think it could even affect speeds. Just leave it at -1 and uTorrent will do the best for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 If your cache was set far too low, download speeds would crash, and µTorrent's memory use would slowly rise, possibly until your system was out of memory.Hence, it's best to leave it to automatic, unless you can see for certain it's not working (ie utorrent is using 50M, or 100M, etc of RAM), in which case you should set it to about 4 times your max download speed in KiB.
