Thread: restricting upload speed on torrents

it comes when u check the show statistics...

yes right.
mine shows 6 half-open.

even my connection status shows green right symbol.at the bottom....

my conxn also shows the green signal.but my upload slowing does not slow downloads.

Set Half Open Connections - utorrent

Option -> Preferences -> Advanced -> select net.max_halfopen and input a Value in box and Click Set.

utorrent 1.8.1 stable have problems when limiting upload speed. utorrent 1.8.1 beta version have all the features of the latest stable version and have no problem when limiting upload speed.

so there is no difference between beta and stable?

I just wanted a version without problem of limiting upload speed. There could be some small changes in the stable release. But I didn't notice any difference beside that.

Now there is also utorrent 1.9 Alpha available.

I think this is highly dependent on seeder to leecher ratio. But dont restrict upload speed to 1kBps. I think 8KBps works fine for most torrents. Even in utorrent 1.8+ I restriced a torrent to 2 KBps upload speed cause it had 200 seeders and 3 leecher. It downloaded at 200KBPS+ speeds.

Please dont hit and run . Seed the torrents properly, especialy the poor seeded ones.

Bsnl Home 500 upto 2MBps. Its great for downloading but I feel little tight on the 2.5gb free usage limit during non UL hours.

using night Unlimited hours I can cross 100GB easily per month. (3.8 gb perday).

I NEVER get such good upload speed : 240 kbps. I get 32 KBPS Max. Mostly get stuck at 16-20 KBps.

But I generally do not download movies - I buy them instead. Sometimes, I download them but I always end up buying the DVD sooner or later.

This whole ends the story

The latest version of utorrent doesn't throttle downloads if you lower the upload.
However, there's an option in utorrent advanced that is turned on by default wherein users who contribute less to the torrent swarm get lower download speeds.
