Upload/Seeding Problem

(1/4) > >>

chubbinz89:
Before I start I want to point out that I've looked through the forum and other sites for hours before deciding to post one myself.

I haven't been able to upload much due to low upload rate and was hoping to get some guidance from here
Since pictures speak a thousand words I will be posting screen shots with the needed info

This is the current upload rate I'm getting. As you can see, even though I'm connected to numerous peers my upload rate is painfully slow. Take a look at the second torrent for example (Code Geass R2). I'm connected to 7 different peers but still getting 1kB/sec




This is my Speedtest result



This link contains my current settings for uTorrent http://imgur.com/a/T2pef

From the link above you can see that I've set the settings as recommended by many in this forum. I've also done performance test within uT with ctrl+G
I've also made sure that the current port is open.


If you could help me improve my upload speed I would be tremendously grateful.

Al_Sleeper:
Try using uTorrent v.1.8.5 or 2+. For some reason, uTorrent v.3+ often demonstrates ridiculously poor seeding performance :(.

chubbinz89:
A few of these torrents didn't improve much as I had hoped but a certain torrents saw massive improvement after downgrading to V2.2.1 as you can see and I would like to thank you very much for that


However it seems as these numbers fluctuate greatly and wondered if that's normal.



It would be great if I could get an insight on what people generally get on their upload rates

Bob2004:
No, it has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with your client. As Al_Sleeper ought to know. And downgrading didn't actually make any difference - getting decent speeds on a torrent sporadically is normal, and occurs whenever you get a request to upload a particular piece. The version of utorrent you're using makes no difference to that.

You ought to take another look at your screenshot and use your brain a bit. Maybe have a read through this subforum, where this exact same question has been answered thousands of times.

But just to make it clear - the number of peers is irrelevant. What is important is the ratio of seeders to peers. And, as you can see in your screenshot, that second Code Geass torrent - to use your example - has a ratio of over 11 to 1. Or, to put it another way, for every one person downloading, there are eleven other people trying to upload data to them. So obviously it's going to be tough for you to upload a torrent at anywhere near a decent speed, because there are so many other people doing it instead that it's hard to get an opportunity to send anything. Downloaders only have so much bandwidth available, after all.

This is very common with BakaBT torrents - the overall seed:peer ratio for the site is something like 20:1 - and has been discussed many, many times in this subforum. I can see several topics on it on the first page alone. There is also a lot of excellent advice on how to improve your ratio, so have a read through. It'll answer all your questions.

AceD:
Look at how many seeders they have....you might have peers connected to you, but those peers are also connected to tons of other people....it matters very little. Either seed them for a long time...or seek out torrents with far less seeders.

Heres a few of my torrents, notice a big difference in the seeders...which means am actually uploading?
