Why does uTorrent do this kind of thing? Does yours? Is it supposed to? Damned annoying, 'cos you glance at the screen and it says only 1 hour to go, then the next time you look it says 2 weeks. :(

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. :confused:
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?Quote:

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
Tried it and hated the user interface. All those adverts for stuff and not being able to see what I wanted.Quote:

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

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?Quote:

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

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?
there's your problem.Quote:

512 Kb divided by 8 equals 44 KB (8 bits to a byte)
256 Kb ditto 22 KB
That is your maximum, however select 'options' > 'speed guide' and µtorrent will set all the parameters automatically.
