Nothing else would seed.īoth torrents were on different drives - one internal, one external. Then it dropped off entirely from my active torrents list, and only the torrent that I was downloading was left in the list. As this occurred, the torrent I was seeding at 72 mb/s began dropping in speed to, eventually, about 20 kilobytes/sec. My download speeds started going up to around the maximum. I then attempted to download a rather large 100+ GB torrent that was well-seeded. Are you suggesting that it may be the culprit?įor instance, just now I am uploading a torrent at about 72 mb/s. Why would I want to lower my upload speed? I've always wanted to maximize it to the fullest. What do you think is going on here? Is this just normal, or are my settings way out of whack? However, this happens even when I spread my files out over a number of drives, so I don't think it is hardware related. I figured it was possible that the culprit was my hard drive - I am trying to send data out while at the same time bring new data in - both at relatively high rates of speed.

Eventually, one by one, they slow to the point of not uploading at all and disappear from my list of active torrents. If there are a lot of seeders on this torrent and I can reach my maximum download speed, all of the files that I'm seeding start to slow down. I don't experience this typically, unless I am already seeding 10 or 15 torrents, and then decide to download a new torrent that is very large. I've tried to maximize the numbers because I tend to have a lot of torrents going at once although I remember reading that if you go too crazy with these numbers it could possibly make your upload/download speeds go even slower. I wonder if these are contributing to the problems I'm having, as I don't quite understand these screens. However, I think I've possibly screwed up some of the settings with regard to the 'Bandwidth' and 'Queuing' sections of the program. I have a pretty fast connection and am uploading and downloading through uTorrent quite a lot.
