so there is no difference between beta and stable?

Archer

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.

Upload speed is advised at 80% of your actual upload speed. I have followed this rule. In Home 500 C, the upload speed is usually 160 kbps to 240 kbps. I have set upload rate to 28 KB/s and this works fine with me.

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.

this is the speed i get!!

Archer

Do you run a private tracker. ?

You are getting 504 Kilobytes download speed ?

ag_prasun

i dont get that speed always.once i got 712kBps.sometimes over 200 300.but generally 35kBps!!

Don't retrict upload speed.
Please try Seed as much as you download, it this is morally wrong!

Archer

I don't restrict upload speed. It's fully automatic. The upload speed will stay below 10 KBps when downloading and goes upto 60-70 KBps after the download is finished.

Try to seed atleast at a ratio of 1:1 say for example you downloaded a movie of 700 MB then atleast seed until your upload is also 700 MB or greater then you can stop, it will be a fair play

I will tell you my story i one downloaded an anime of 8.5 GB then i seeded until it was something around 23 GB!! then i stopped that!!!
Please do not be selfish and besides why you people are restricting your upload speed it will not interfere in your downloaded i guess!

Ya no harm in keeping the torrent seeded for a long time if you have the disk space & run your pc 24/7.

saurav_k

never restrict UL speed to 1kB/s ... it will eventually result in degradation of ur download speed ...

also ... full upload speed doesnt help in DL speed also ...

here is a simple formula - use this:

ALWAYS RESTRICT UR UL SPEED TO 2/3 OF UR MAX DL SPEED ... I.E IF U HAVE A CONNECTION OF 384kbps(48kBps) -- restrict UL speed to 256kbps(32kBps
) ... this will improve DL speeds

@ag_prasun
yes..

thats_me

lol.....
In Private trackers most torrents are seeded for long time. But in Public trackers lot of torrents dies out because of H&Rs.
Keep seeding guys....

totallyfandu

just put the torrent in auto mode and then u will find good speed

Archer

Auto mode ? Can you please clarify ?
