Sharing Low :(
« on: December 19, 2009, 06:25:00 PM »
Hello fellow Anime Fans.
Was wondering if anyone in here could help me with my problem...
Im currently most of the times sharing in 20kb with an 10/10 mbit connection. Mostly i have like Leecher/Clients: 10 (104) what that is, thats downloading from me. Does it mean that ppl cant connect to me for some reason? All ports should be fine my Utorrent is accepting the port i have and my router isnt behind any firewall. Dunno if it might be Windows 7 that slowed my Upload down but when i do a speed test it shows that i have the right speeds so it seems to be inside the bittorrent only. Please help would be very grateful :)

Have you checked how many Seeders/Leechers you allow as maximum in preferences?

Edit: Also, if you got 10 active clients out of (104), you have to check how many seeders that is active aswell.
If let's say there are 400+ active seeders, all of theses seeders are havin a "war" for all these 104 active peers. In other words your tracker is looking for free spots out of all these leechers and are fighting against the other seeders for speed. So your seeding is searching for free spots which isn't already taken and calculates the other seeders upload speed/availability etc and calculates how much out of these that can connect to you, and in that way decides your upcoming upload speed. The more seeders -> less spots to grab leechers. So the best upload torrents would be the once with small amount of seeders and a high amount of leechers. That way you will have a greater chance to maximize your upload speed.

or maybe your ISP is throttling P2P. Enable encryption.
