Force seeding and uTorrent Q's

[chococya96]

sup again people. this might be off topic to boxtorrent but i need answer for my questions ^_^;;

im using uTorrent and i was seeding 9 torrents so far with 5 torrents Queued for seeding. Than i was told that i can use force start for rest of torrent so ive done it and right now 9 seeding and 5 force seeding.

Each (almost) torrent's upload speed is around average 5kB/s and it was going good (i think imo -_-;

So my question is is it good to use "Force start" for queued torrent seeding and if not, just leave it as queued, or is there any thing else i can try to seed torrents that i got??
and also is it good seed like what im doing right now (seeding 14 torrents)? doesit slow my upload speed for each? or it dosent matter?
And lastly, is the upload speed im getting right now (5KB/s ~ 10 average for each torrent) is right for 1~10 leecher? i.e each torrent: 1~10 leecher online = 5Kb/s ~10 ??

Tnx for the help and support guys once again ^^

Peace out

Seeding a couple of torrents on 5kb/s isn't very useful. You're better off seeding less torrents faster.

If you have 5kb/s on one torrent and you have say, 4 upload slots, that means every peer gets only 1.25kb/s which is senseless.
You could also reduce the number of upload slots per torrent to 1 or 2.

Force start only influences your local queueing, if you increase the queue size you achieve the same effect. It all depends on your bandwidth how many torrents you can keep seeding and which torrents you're seeding.

Tnx for the reply but im still lost (sorry a bit noob at this -_-)

I dont get what your saying where you limit my upload slot. So it's basically like seed the torrents that has more leecher first (e.g seeding around 4 ~6 torrents) and when finished seed more one by one?

Also one last thing, could u tell me anything else to improve my seeding upload speed? apart from speed setting and leecher (depending on the torrents), like e.g something to do with setting of utorrent

tnx

your upload speed depends mostly on your connections max. upload bandwidth and whether there are leechers who are interested in your files.

in uTorrent you can basicly set 3 options to shape your upstream:
your upstream limit (in utorrent options -> preference -> bandwidth -> maximum upload rate) which should be set to ~90% of your maximum upstream bandwidth - ask your isp in case you don't know it.

the number of torrents you are seeding AND leeching simultaneously (in utorrent options -> preference -> queueing -> maximum number of active torrents)
the number of peers your client is sending data to simultaneously in every torrent (in utorrent options -> preference -> bandwidth -> number of upload slots per torrent)
this settings depend on your upstream bandwidth. for example with 50kb/s upstream seeding 10 torrents with 4 upload slots per torrent would result in 50/10/4=1.25kb/s per peer - way to low if you keep in mind that keeping the connection to peers etc. eats bandwidth too.
as a rule of thump every peer you are serving should at least get around 10kb/s.
with 50kb/s upstream 2 separate seeding torrents with 2 upload slots per torrent would result in 12,5kb/s for every peer.
if there are no leechers on one of those torrents you can increase the number of simultaneous seeded torrent until your max. uploadrate is reached.

Force start doesn't do anything; it just tells uTorrent to ignore the queue order, ratio target and scheduler for that torrent. It does nothing to improve your upload speed. You can confirm this in the uTorrent help file.

[Stsin]

In uTorrent, go to Options > Speed Guide
With nothing using your bandwith (all torrents stopped) run the speedtest.
This should setup uTorrent optimally for your actual bandwidth, without knowing about slots etc.

Then go to Options > Preferences > Bandwidth
And select 'Use additional upload slots if upload speed < 90%'

If upload speed is more important than download:
Options > Preferences > Queueing
Select 'Seeding tasks have more priority than downloading tasks'

Hi all!

I have been warned for not uploading much.. I keep the seeding on, but the seeding stays at 0kbps. I have kept the settings right but still doesnt work for me. Is there anything else ican do which isnt already mentioned above

[Al_Sleeper]

Seed more torrents.
If you haven't noticed, all your torrents are heavily overseeded or don't have any leechers at all.

Also read more help forum topics - it's obvious you were searching the forum because you posted on a thread that's more than four years old. There are plenty of ratio hints strewn about around here.

There's at least one ratio thread literally on every single page - lol.

I hadn't checked the date, and was like "WTF?  Boxtorrents?!"

I kinda miss the Box days, not that it was all that different.
