Thread: Rtrorent speed and foudn 1 solition

hi guys I jsut discover sometghing interesting my rtorrnet downed sudenly and when I first open it it download with 20-50 mb/s even I added 50 active torrrent but thoose active torrents has only 5-10 peers when 10 15 minutes passes peers up to 100 200 even from CHDbits 1000 :D and my download speed down to 8-9mb/s so in this reason I opened rtorrent.rc and make maixmum speed

from

# Maximum and minimum number of peers to connect to per torrent.
#min_peers = 40
#max_peers = 100


to



# Maximum and minimum number of peers to connect to per torrent.
#min_peers = 5
#max_peers = 20


rightnow it maximum see 20 peers speed is 20-25 mb/s with 50 active trorrent but :D problem is Upload speed is downed 2 mb/s from 10 mb/s even from 15


its like it not give any slot to Upload anyone it used to 10 people download per torrent now it droped how can I fix it I coudltn find


I guess I close to fix this problem :D rightnow I download 25 mb/s and 50 torrent active :D I just need to find which one is consider Uploading peers if anyone know would be nice :D



PS is there any option to limit total peers ? because when I added each one 20 total is icrease and speed slowing down ofcorse :D

I find it a bit hard to follow your post and what you are trying to do. If you care to rephrase your questions, I may be able to offer better advice. But as to your penultimate question, you can limit total peers with these settings:

max_uploads_global
max_downloads_global
max_peers (per torrent)

You can see that max peers are set per torrent. But the product of the per torrent settings and the global max will define a total peer limit. Note that changes made in the rutorrent GUI are only valid for the current session. If you restart rtorrent or reboot, the changes will be lost. You need to change them in .rtorrent.rc to make them permanent.

If this is a critical setting to you, also see if the slot definition values below are defined as they can impact the above settings:
max_uploads_div
max_downloads_div

so what is the optimal setting for rtorrent with values?

As with so many things in life, the answer is not that simple. There is no one size fits all answer. The best values are dependent on what hardware you have, your line speed and load range i.e. how many people share the server and how aggressive they are as users.

If you want to press for an answer, then the optimal values are what the seedbox vendor has already configured. Unless there is strong evidence to the contrary, those are very likely decent, stable and slightly conservative values. If you want a longer answer with specific values, I just finished writing this post.

@copper I couldnt find


max_uploads_global
max_downloads_global

at rtorrent.rc where should I write it and should I put # before ?

this max_downloads_global Mean totally of download peers? or iits mean similation of download in genereal ?

with this

#max_peers = 20 its not over 20 peers of each torrent cpu usage is decreased

whats min_peers = 5 work actually ?



max_uploads_div
max_downloads_div

and whats for tthis what fanction ?

thanks

@logan my experince says low peers for each torrent low CPU usage and better speed

I set

#min_peers = 5
#max_peers = 20

maybe 15 for max peers but I get better result with 20




also Maxupload slot I decrease 10 from 15

my upload speed 10 mb/s now even Idownload and seed totaly 30 active torent


with requalre setti I was getting downlload 10 mb/s and 2mb/ upload speed

Most rtorrent configuration files are missing a lot of potential settings. Anything that is not explicitly defined will retain the default value.
Here are a few sources that list most most of the possible options:
http://www.torrent-invites.com/rtorrent: linux man page
rtorrent syntax (rakshasa.no)

If you'd like to add those settings to .rtorrent.rc just add each on on it's own line with a value, e.g.
max_uploads_global = 20

If you prefix any line with # that means that that line will be ignored

max_downloads_global means that maximum total number of download slots permitted. Set to 0 to disable

min_peers sets a minimum threshold. So if it was set to zero rtorrent wouldn't try to connect to any peers
if it is set high, it will be aggressive and always try to find new peers. Once the threshold is attained, new peers will be ignored.

And max_uploads_div defines the number of upload slots i.e. peers/divisor = slots

copper why my all Setting has this # before ? its mean all ignored ? all setign start with this syntax

I guess this settigns not working I just set max download speed to 100 kb it not worked Imnot sure about this

Oreme, if all of your settings have # before then that means that all of your settings will use default settings.
If you want to change a particular setting, then remove the # and then rtorrent will use the value in that line instead of the default.

example:
# max_uploads_global = 20 .......<---- rtorrent will ignore this line because of the #. It will use a default value instead

but if you change the line to:
max_uploads_global = 20 .......<---- rtorrent now uses this value. Will use 20

this rtorrent.rc is not workign with my rtorrent settign Im setting download speed and upload speed close rtrorent and open and it still same even I remote # is there any way rtorrent not using my .rc file here? any code to see which files use? defnatly not working I set many things and not worked even I restart my OS :D

I set

max_downloads_global = 8 still 30 torrent downloading

I added new one maybe new torrent use it be 31 :Ddownloading torrent


limited download speed at 1000 still not worked :( any idea ?
