Seeding speed problem (Utorrent)
« on: July 30, 2009, 11:59:25 AM »
Hey people. this is the first time ive encounter the problem and need help with the seeding speed for my Utorrent 1.8.2

First of all, i've read the FAQ and other threads in the forum about seeding speed and i've tried all solutions but it just dosen't happen to solve my problem.

I haven't changed any settings regrding to my seeding speed since i don't know which one to change. My download speed happens to be fine but my seeding speed is really slow for some reason. I get around 5KB/S~7KB/S per torrent when seeding.I use TPG for my ISP which i dont think it limits my seeding speed.
These are the settings for my UTorrent:
                                     Upload Limit: 92.0KB/S                           Upload slots: 6
                                     Connections (Per-Torrent): 100               Connections (Global): 600
                                     Max Active torrents: 6                           Max Active downloads: 5
My port is same as last time and i have port forward my uTorrent. I haven't changed any settings except when i was port forwarding.

I want to know if I need change my settings to improve my seeding speed or solution for this problem. Also, is it good to seed torrents in one bunch? like seeding 10 or more torrents at the same time?

It will be really appriciated if someone help me here because its driving me crazy. My download is so fast and yet, my seeding speed is worst than dial up speed. Thanks a lot guys.

Are you sure you're seeding a torrent with leechers? Are you sure you're connecting to the leechers? Are you sure it is not your problem, but a matter of the leechers not downloading from you at a fast speed?

All the torrents in your Seeded section have <10 leechers (most of them are 0-2, actually), so I wouldn't be surprised if you're not being connected to anyone.

So basically, its just the leecher that matters right now? well i cant do much about that but its just that the torrents thats very popular should have a lot of leechers but i get slow seeding speed from them (torrent with low leecher is worst).

Its really a problem because i can download fast but i cant seed fast which i cant download the next one till i can seed back fully. tnx for the reply but if there is any other solution plz advise me ^^

Make sure the port uTorrent is using isn't blocked/unavailable. I've experienced this before where the port becomes blocked even if I was using that very same port for a long time.

There's a little green circle with a check at the middle button of the utorrent window. If you can see it, then there's nothing wrong with your connection. If you can see a yellow triangle with an exclamation point, then there's something wrong. Clicking on that icon will display a pop-up where you can change/test the port used by utorrent.

Might it be youre choking youre connection?

Whats youre connection speed?
How many peers are utorrent set to connect to?

It might be that you just have to many peers connected allready. It will affect youre speed to, if youre running to many peers on a adsl line(~1Mbs upload).

Do this:

(click to show/hide)
Set the number of active torrents to 4.

(click to show/hide)
Disable DHT. It might be good for other trackers, but lets try it off for now.

(click to show/hide)
Set the number of peers to amount that fit youre connection, 40 should be okay.


Try that.

Hmm my nod was blocking seedings,strange i was capable of uploading before,just did some filtering and yes i did have a red triangle with a ! inside.

this is very strange, i have 2 sets of µtorrent on my PC just for testing...

and Guess what i noticed about the 2.0.4

yeah Download speed increased alot, that is allways good

but the biggest thing i hate about it now is the my Upload speed dropped dramatically down...
i used to upload around 900kb/s and now its something around 65kb/s max
so i went and put the same torrent to the older one 1.7.1 i believe it is, well my seeding speed is around the 500-900kb/s, but the download speed is just like under 200kb/s

tried to fiddle around the settings no help at all.
tried same settings on both, no change...
so is the latest one now blocking other users or something like that?
because im just Confused now :D

btw connection is 10/10mbit
so dl speed is at max 1.2mbit/s
and ul is something around 1.0mbit/s

Hey people. this is the first time ive encounter the problem and need help with the seeding speed for my Utorrent 1.8.2

Seems like no one else caught this, somehow, from the very first post. uTorrent 1.8.2 is not whitelisted. You won't be able to use BBT torrents in 1.8.2, and you should be getting a tracker error message saying that the use of this client is not allowed on the tracker.

yeah 1.8.2 is not allowed in here, but i noticed it works on better on other torrent sites that its allowed, and when it still was allowed here it worked great.
im just wondering why i just got a dramatical upload speed drop when using the latest with same settings...
might be something in my area that is blocking its trafic or something else.

i have no clue, hope i get it sorted asap so can keep on seeding better

uTorrent 1.8.2 was most likely whitelisted over a year ago when this thread was made.

... I missed that. This is why you don't necro threads... and why you avoid posting when you're too tired to notice those details. :D
