and so is mine

but right now maxing up to 60kbps only... i think the current torrent i am downloading not enuff peers

i switch to utorrent now since new BC version (0.73/74) keep not stable
great speed n low memory usage
but cant set disk cache
wad the default disk cache for utorrent?

utorrent is less resource-intensive than the other bt clients, imho

I moved from bitcomet to utorrent months ago and since then sticking to it.

The only thing is that I thought the cache check mechanism takes longer time compared to the other clients. What'd be u guys opinion?

anyone has some problem with Utorrent
i have some problem over here,
my Utorrent will freeze after certain of time ( roughly more then 5 hours )
and i unable to shut down even my msn go freeze too

May try the newly build WebUI. I've tested, and it is great !
Check your torrent remotely from outside.

I didn't crash at all with this client. Your freezing may cause by explorer.exe ? have to check it out lah ....

have so many features there, and low memory usage, max 20mb. Bitcomet go to 100MB.

But remember, don't adjust net.max_halfopen over than 8.

I faced some serious problem with Utorrent , and it seems when everytime i run the Utorrent , my WRT54G would be stucked and i would unable to surf the web , but the transfer speed on my Utorrent wont be affected at all.

This problem would be solved if only i restart back my wireless router.

In their FAQ , they already stated that Utorrent has some issues with WRT54G and suggested to flash the firmware to latest version but neither was working for me

But i love Utorrent for its simplicity and less resources intensive.

how to adjust it ?
mind guiding me ?

�Torrent.. thanks fariz for the alt+0181 key combination

I've downloaded more than 1TB with �Torrent. Been using it since last December, version 1.2. But now BT is throttled. Sigh.

This post has been edited by Joseph Hahn: Oct 24 2006, 10:33 AM

I think BT throttled was affected in KL area, Johor was not affected.

actually nothing to be do after installed utorrent. Just left it by default if u really don't know how to set.

all i knew , cyberjaya being throttled
but my area Seri Petaling so far so good ( my house )

i didnt touch up anything too
has be default but sometimes it do crash ............ hang i guess

im on �torrent 1.6
but after the throttling i've been getting horrible speeds
even with many seeds n peers
dang

im like downloading stuff averaging like 3-4 kbps
heck some even 0.x [insert number]

i heard the client programmers working on bypassing the throttling
is it really possible?

haihz sad ler.. kena throttled

�torrent download speed not bad ,but less fucntion than bc

the speed slow is becoz being throttle?...mmm..me at jb..with the same problem too..just 3 to 4k max ...what else can do?arghhh..sa.ddddd

I have to say... despite the very good download speeds u can from �Torrent, it does lack in features..

You see, like in Bitcomet, if you download something with a lot of episodes, so you only selected like say 2 files to download, then later u can download the rest bit by bit and its so easy, all you have to do is double click the torrent and select the files. The files that has already been downloaded when 'unselected' will just be deleted off just like that.

As for �Torrent, its very difficult to do that. Cos you need to select 'dont download' for that particular part then need to 'force re-check' and all... damn...

Yeah. But it's not that hard you just select the file on 'files' tabs then choose normal download.

yeap... but the problem lies in deleting the already downloaded files.. of course, starting a new download is not difficult

well..doenst matter less fucntion , as long as can back to the speed as b4...not like now..like snail

ur JB area where ah?
me JB too... no affected by speed slow.
Maybe is ur configuration problem or firewall cause speed slow.
mine can get 90-100kb/s all the way....

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=343157
here got a list that people that suspected throttle
check is your place inside here??

i started using utorrent after reformatting... but i think azureus faster ler...

u can install the VNC , i can help u remotely. lolz

thank you...but..wut is VCN??hehe..newbie here

nahh..the pros definitely outweights the cons..

if you want to delete the finished files, right click on the finished files in the "files" tab, and choose don't download.. then right click on the torrent file in the torrent list, choose "open containing folder" and delete whatever you want... sure its easier to do with bitcomet, but �torrent takes up alot less space n resources..

VNC = Virtual Network Connection
go google search for it....

ok..i download the RealVCR free edition..wut next?

I'm getting a lot of torrents with the status of 'offline(timeout)' lately. Are any of you guys suffering from it?

urmm... how to map a port? Did google, but the source I found that I need a static IP

Probably just a normal streamyx slowdown. These trackers are http, so you should get timed out pages also when you surf the internet.

The easiest way with the default utorrent configuration is to turn on UPnP on your router. To check, goto the logger tab in utorrent and see if the mapping is successful.

The harder way is to manually forward a port to the ip address of your pc in your router's setup. Yes, you would need a fixed ip for both cases. Either set the ip manually in your windows configuration or check what ip the router's dhcp has assigned you by looking in the support tab of your connection in windows.

use utorrent for about half year..the speed very gud

but..

cant BT anymore..
damn tmnut

Yeaps... I agree. Less resources and time taken. In fact I am still using version 1.5 which doesnt require you to install =)

btw I'm a bit skeptical... u see, when u use Bitcomet and delete off the downloaded files, you know for sure it is gone..

But when you delete something off windows manually.. i.e. via shift-delete,
does it really go off your hard disk? there are a lot of arguments about this thing... any windows pro out here ready to share?

anyone got compare the DHT connection between utorrent and Bitcomet??
i using utorrent which only can connect up to 200~300, but mine frenz bitcomet can connect up to 1000++...
it means utorrent not good enough??

http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#Why_does_....omet_Azureus.3F

well..for me..still the same..both btcomet or utorrent the speed still like snail..never more then 10k ...

are you using a router or modem?
you have to configure the portforward settings if you are using a router. and remember to uncheck the 'UnPhP' box if you are using utorrent, it will connect faster and increase your speed.

if all fails, then it's ur connection problem[tmNuts]

get it man~

finaly i know than Bitcomet one is fake information~

it is not fake actually
but less accurate and didnt tell us how many we connected correctly only

do u guys know any tweaking of the local proxy?
pls help me to increase the speed..
i think kena throttle ledi...haiz

well if we r being throttle, then how u tweak also useless 1.. anyway u try to follow this guide la if u wana get better connection http://www.utorrent.com/setup_guide.php

and how to tweak utorrent: http://www.johntp.com/2006/04/19/how-to-in...ds-of-utorrent/

Anyone using Utorrent webUI BETA?

me.. but seems like kenot work properly 1

I'm using it, works properly as well.

do you guys know how to export / save the torrent out from utorrent?

checked all the option but seems like i'm unable to export the torrents to another torrent software.

You mean you want to finish the incomplete torrents using another client?

Recently been downloading some stuff on �Torrent and I realise that it is lags like every 1 minute interval.. its like.. I surf surf then it will freeze for a moment... surf surf then lag... anyone knows how to solve this? is it the hard disk cache thing or what?

yap. cuz the current machine im using need to reformat, so im kinda lost when i found out there're no "save as" option to export the torrent like bitcomet / bitlord.

*shrug

Bit Comet is the best now because can accept higher bit and peer

what kind of files are they ?
waoww...seems that bittorent are really sucks nowadays...
yea....my friend oso recommend me to go 4 utorrent..

Here

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...926&hl=utorrent

I've faced this problem before.

i am using Utorrent trying to download some file from demonoid, there is something wrong with the DHT status, here is the screenshot, can anyone tell me wats wrong?



usually when i using public tracker, the DHT status is working, how can i enable the DHT status when using a private tracker?

This post has been edited by synzo: Nov 6 2006, 09:52 PM

for private tracker, it's based on their policy whether or not to allow DHT...
http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#What_is_DHT.3F

utorrent's giving me damn weird problems.
I can't download from anything which has large peer and seed counts. And I can only download when I direct the downloads to the default downloads folder. Else it won't even budge.

Weird problems face, I always.

it's really weird indeed...
ever tried uninstall and make a fresh install?
(del the settings files here also: C:\Documents and Settings\%user%\Application Data\utorrent)

Done that actually. Resets all the saved information and stuffs.
Now using back bittornado and bitcomet. No problems whatsoever. Hurmm..

yea,utorrent is da best bro,My download speed sometimes can reach 150k x.x

where is your location brother?i think now most of us been throttled by tmnet and cant get any good speed from remote peer anymore....

i can get max speed if that torrent contain alot of local peers.else my speed is just between 8kb-15kb only

a good healthy torrent really matters alot in the speed... althoug my area here speed is still ok, but unhealthy torrent sure su*** >.<

but nowadays...a good healthy torrent[3k seeds,3k peers], such as OpenOffice...

download speed = 3kbps [yay ]

tat the throttle prob then... cant do much about it...

can pls send me the torrent file via pm? I try dl it and see

what k i comment ?
my Utorrent since operating ...erm, dunnno hw to describe it really.
Download only will speed up when u put it at 1st position, although others downloading files hv more seeds, yet its speed is till ????
u hv to left it there for a few hoours, then only it will start downloading faster, Is there any step i amy take to make it faster ?

is there anyway to change the half open on utorrent? As i change it to 50.. and once i run the download.. My whole comp slow down like a snail.. and hangs..

the default of max tcp half open for utorrent is only 8 (u can change it at the Advanced, the section with the "warning", look for net.max_halfopen)

u don't set the max tcp half open to 50 unless u have tweaked the registry

ref: http://www.johntp.com/2006/04/19/how-to-in...ds-of-utorrent/

tat's right, by default the windows xp only giv 10 for tcp half connection

the patch location: www.lvllord.de/

when i using downloading file
i always notice that in the peer list, the uTorrent user didnt have listening port
after the ip, the number is 'zero'
can explain why???
juz becoz they didnt know need to make listening port??

but i notice that, even they dun have any listening port
they also can download with normal speed
but i cant receive upload from them...

not sure wat is the real cause of tat though, but some bitcomet user that I connected to also showing port 0

in utorrent window there is no list of the listening port, only the host or ip...

I try download Death Note movie wif utorrent.
The speed is juz around 5 ~ 10 kbps.
Anyway to speed it up?
If I slow down the upload speed, will it increase the download speed?

This post has been edited by littleman: Nov 12 2006, 12:42 PM

limit your upload speed that can boost up your download only occur if your download is chock by upload
but your speed is too slow, it seen like not chock by upload
but 'chock' (throttle) by traffic shaping device

see is there any Malaysia IP in your peer list??
if not, then normal la

for 512kbps package u can try limit the upload speed to 16~20K, while for 1Mbps doubled the value

hye everyone, i'm using both (for testing) �Torrent 1.600 and BitComet 0.75, i must say, �Torrent much more faster than BitComet.while on BitComet i download same torrent file same size max i can get is like 100KBps while on �Torrent is almost double the speed!!! yes...you guys sure wonder why mine is blazing speed, it could be at local peers, but i'm sure with �Torrent, user can view the peer's IP flag...so my view is, very much like US flag but with max 15~25KBps

huh? got local's peer means already throttle?

from what other ppl hav experienced, tat's most probably the case if u speed is lower than normal and u see only local peers....

I am getting max speed 150kb too , streamyx free upgrade?

I am using the 1MB package

Before using a router, my torrent downloads at acceptable speeds.
After I've got my new computer and setting up a router for both my old and new ones, my torrent download speed decreased dramatically, on both computers. Download speeds rarely gets over 10kB/s and then the upload gets higher than the download and after a few hours all my torrents are red. I've figured out that the router is the problem so I search everywhere on the net for solutions but none prevailed. These are the portforwarding steps I took and please point my mistake out. I've turned of the Windows XP SP2 firewall and have no antivirus or other firewalls running (except for the router one, I turned it off and it's still the same).

My ip and stuffs


My settings at TCP/IP


My port forwarding at DSL305E Modem


My port forwarding at WBR-3406TX router


After numerous router,modem and computer reboots, my torrent download/upload speeds


My port number


My testing result



How? Can anyone help me?

Just to clarify again, I'm using DSL305E modem and WBR-3406TX router.

Nvm found the solution here http://computer-aid.com.au/blog/2006/04/28...-4-port-router/

why, i will not get a speed more than 20kbps?
i always get around 10 kbps only.

yeah... same here, 50KBps worried me already, while always on 150KBps~180KBps...even hit 240KBps

BTW, my preference bout portforward saying is OK even thou i havent touch such thing, looks like auto-configured already

where is ur location?

same here. 90% of time around 10kbps, 10% go up to 25kbps.

My location is Gombak.
Got throttled?

anybody using MAXIS 3G Unlimited internet via phone as modem for utorrent? i found that there is a "!" icon below my utorrent...

what the color red for the download signal? some time is blue?

how much speed u get using 3G ? how much per month?

pretty sure it's some thing like this

something weird

done the correct port forwarding i get <10kb but make uncorrect port forward setting i get <50kb

weird weird

mine too, but that exactly port forward thingy, but it's uPnP feature, port forward needs you to disable it, but when disable, the speed will not even increase or worst @0KBps, when enable, up to 150KBps , anyway...lately i felt something, i think TM.Net just capped my P2P...my download really slow... btw, if download speed affected, should be upload too right? but my upload still at same speed, pretty fast upload

my upload also didnt affected
juz download...

althought i using BitComet
but i think that the throttle is same that can kill both of us

try see who you upload for
is it our country ip?? or other country ip

i have no incoming connection on maxis 3g unlimited package...
its mean my port not open/fowarding????

yes, try do port-forward
maybe your router aledi block it
but maybe also becoz of firewall
