Thread: uTorrent ups and downs

Exactly the same with me. Though strangely, about a week ago it hit 130 and stayed there with very little fluctuation for about 36 hours.

Click on the status bar to show the UP Speed, much more revealing.It will show as a red line in the speed box.

Maybe you have another application/program running that causes that.

up speed is consistent. the down is a yo yo.

i use azureus.

it's fine.

i have no advice to give on this matter.

You're on TOT aren't you?

What speeds do you get with azureus?

Yep, I get the same pattern during the day but it is more steady at night
I'm on TOT

Did I ? I imagine I asked in the latter part of the evening.

Ah well, that was yesterday, todays today.

its crawling along now but probably reflects the lack of seeded torrents,

PP you haven't got a green light on the bottom next to your download total, nd having downed 35 Gig it is about time you reloaded µtorrent, as it can get its' knickers in a twist after running so long

Interesting. I've never had a green light there but it works all the same.

You can get the old style interface in Vuze as well.
A simple click in a box is all that is needed.

Vuze rocks

You da Man Charley, its rockin and rollin now.Thanx

Peter, what did you do? Uninstall then reinstall? Or is there a way of sort of "refreshing" it?

Yeah, it may well do, but would it solve this up/down thing or not?

What is the difference between uTorrent and BitTorrent?

Can't answer on that because I don't know where the up/down thing comes from.

No just switched it off and back on again.
I went out for a couple of hours and it had dropped off again, like off a cliff even tho the Icon was green.
Switched it off and back on again and its gone from 12 Kbs DL to 68.
Something is interfering with the DL and its only happened in the last few days.
Just had a thought that this has been happening around the time I installed peer guard.

Technical question: Are downloads speeds affected by:

(a) the upload speeds you allow, or
(b) the number of torrents you have that are active?

For someone on a TOT 512/256 ADSL connection what is recommended? I've got my D/L speeds unrestricted and U/L speeds set to 50kB/sec, with a cap of 6 simultaneous D/Ls and 1 U/L at any time. Do I need to tweak these settings and if so how?
