Thread: How many transfers do you have going?

This is for users of their own computers for torrents rather than seedbox users.

How many transfers do you have going on at one time? I'm talking active and non-active transfers. I have 200+ using transmission on a Mac and I'm not sure how far I can push it. Every once in awhile the App struggles a bit and I get the spinning beachball. but it then comes back and keeps on chuggin. At first I was hesistant to push it to 100, but now hitting 200 I think I am about maxed out.

On my Windows Box I have ~550 torrents on uTorrent, and 600 on deluge.

I only allow 5 active torrents on deluge, and 3 on uTorrent though, so I don't spread my bandwidth too thin.

How fast is your connection?

5mbit Upstream so about 640kb/s.

I can upload about 55gb a day.

Same here - 5Mb up and 20 down - I'm thinking of upgrading to 25/25. I can get it for an additional $20 a month or so.

Totally worth it. I have 5Mbit up and 60Mbit down. It's the fastest package in my area. The one other ISP has 640Kbit up.. lol so like 60KB/s upstream on their fastest package.

You must have fiber in your area. Bieber is Jealous.

Yes, we have FIOS which used to be Verizon, but they sold out to some small company called Frontier Communications. AND THEY SUCK!!! They have a really horrible web site and virtually NO customer service - it's really a PITA. We got our TV and video all through FIOS also - pretty good stuff when Verizon had it, but now Frontier wants to phase it out but apparently the local government wouldn't allow them to dump it.

I would REALLY like other options cuz while the fiber is awesome - its controlled now by a crap clueless company.

On my PC I have just over 500 torrents going in uTorrent, and all seems well.

I like to keep my torrent list clean, so I just keep the torrents that are currently active. Using Transmission I have 4 active torrents.
