uTorrent v1.7.7

[medicnick83]

In this version of uTorrent, when I download something, I get full speeds, but when I LIMIT upload speeds, to say, 1k, then the download speeds drop to like, crawl.

I'm doing a INT download and don't wanna upload anything, just download... anyone know the setting to fix this problem?

I want full download speed (yes, being greedy!) and no upload speed (1k is fine)

Get Netlimiter, and limit uTorrents upload speed.

I also use Utorrent and I have encountered the same problem. I just found a new torrent with more seeds so I wouldn't have to upload as much but I know that you can't always do that.

Throttling your upload speeds external to uTorrent can still affect your download speeds.

Anyways, I'm downloading at 50k and uploading at 5k... *sigh*

Bittorrent is designed to throttle the downloads of leechers.

Try find a .nzb if you don't want to upload.

Earlier today I had a torrent going at 420, not very often that that happens.

 

[medicnick83]

I also had that happen, it happens when there is alot of seeders and you're not uploading at all, just downloading.

yeah your download speed is linked to your upload speed.

Same problem

Since I've been using FlashGet, I've had no need to use uTorrent.

Maybe give it a try? It handles torrents perfectly in my opinion.

uTorrent throttles your download speed at 6x your upload limit (eg 4kb max upload set = 24kb max DL), but if you set your upload speed at 6kb or above the the download is unlimited.

The bar at the bottom even says "download limited", but change it to 6kb & it will go away

That's sort of the idea, to support other people's posts. Sharing is caring, as you should say. Whenever I make use of torrents (I don't do movies/music/games/series/illegal software), I use Ktorrent. I have a sharing ratio of approximately 0.000. To do this I just kick/ban any leeching buggers.

This works for me 90% of the time...................start the torrent with unlimited upload and unlimited download.
Wait till it reaches the top download speed for your connection.
Then wait another 30 seconds................OK now quickly limit your upload speed in 4 or 5 stages(eg. 25k then 10k then 5k then 3k then 1k)..... make sure utorrent is displaying these limits and not a one click jump from unlimited to 1k.
As I said before if I do this then the balance of the download stays at top speed.

uTorrent is designed to leech/seed fairly evenly, so everyone benefits - isn't this the point of torrents? Kick and ban the leechers is the way to go...

...looks like no more torrent invites for you...
