    Default need help to tweak rtorrent for my new evo 2gbits vps

    Hi guys ;)

    I have got my new 2 gbits vps from evoboxes (stream).

    Mostly users seems happy with evoboxes but it's not my case for the moment.

    I install rtorrent + rutorrent .

    What's setting for the client can you advices to me for my vps to get the best of my vps in term of speed ?



    I checked everywhere but i can't find something usefull for me.

    Thanks by advance.

    I hope that you can understand me because my english is pretty bad, sorry about that.

    Have you tried in the evosupport IRC chat? They would know best.

    In my opinion, I would indeed contact their support but mainly focus on the HDD-performance and the burst-CPU (for creating/unpacking).

    Why? According to the Stream-VPS, you have 1 HDD to yourself but if that is a somewhat older "cheapish" 7200rpm SATA-disk or older SCSI-drive, you will get into trouble performance-wise if you download AND seed a lot at the same time. Disk-I/O will become the bottleneck and with only 5GB RAM per user, you will be hard pressed to squeeze buffers into memory for write-caching to disk.

    The CPU's, incorrectly explained on their page, have a total of 8 cores and a maximum of 16 threads; with 12 users unloading on the server, you will get only 1.25 CPU-cycle (when HT is active) and could be compared to using an older Intel E6600 in a normal PC; it will stagger over the I/O and even with the 12MB cache, not much performance will be gotten from it. This is a worst-case scenario and I think overall the Xeon's will do just fine.

    "2x Intel Quad Core Xeon E5620 (2.4Ghz, HT, Turbo)" dunno whats incorrectly explained about this? its a quad core xeon processor with 2.4GHz and autooverclock capability. as the name states it has 4 cores and with HT enabled, 8 threads overall. twice that and youll get 8 cores/16threads...

    also evobox doesnt assign a specific part of the cpu to user. its shared. on diamond for example, i have access to 4 threads (out of 8). my diamond also has a WD RE4 which has the following specs: 64MB cache, 7.2k rpm, read speeds of ~130MB/s. with 2TB of the same class (RE4), it should be around 200MB/s, also with a 64MB cache.

    Not nitpicking but the site lists "16x 2.4GHz with HT" which, in all honesty, would mean 32 threads. Intel always lists it's CPU's as "x cores with HT". The RE4 drives are nice and speedy enough indeed and should not take too much hassle on the Diamond-package.

    Since I do not know the actual hardware they use, I can only take a guess at the RAID-controller used on the Stream-servers but I find it hard to imagine those servers run 12 single disks (1 for each user). Depending on the RAID-setup, there will be some overhead especially during heavy write I/O to all drives at the same time.

    uhm... its states 2x quad core. thats 2x 4 cores for me. it says HT in brackets, so its twice the number of threads: 16, not 32. you lost me there^^
