Thread: Dont get Constant Speed?

havent cleared up the space because then i would be deleting some torernts on which i dont have 1:1 ratio. I made the changes u told me to make but initally nothing happened but after a while uploads got speed up and stayed that way for some time but now again it droped to like 40Kb/torrent

Edit: Like after 5 min now they are again back on high speeds

Yeah its your server being overloaded. Are u downloading anything or are all seeding? Also u need to find out how much RAM u have. Do u have ssh or can u connect to your server through ssh using putty? Its hard to know what to set your cache to if we dont know how much RAM u have.

Im only seeding, not downloading anything at all. one thing i would like to mention is that this is my 4th day and for the first 2 days everything was great, i was able to up at good speeds but now its gone bad to worse. I have asked them about the RAM.

" Do u have ssh or can u connect to your server through ssh using putty"

I dont really understand what u mean here

Edit: just got a mail from them saying

Hello,
2-4 GB of ram.
You don't get SSH access, sorry. You can on a dedicated server.

SSH is just a secure shell terminal and u would use something like the software Putty to connect to your server through ssh. It would make things a lot easier cause i could give u some commands to run to find out the specs on your server, but if u dont know about it, then i doubt u have it. So did they tell u about the RAM or are u waiting there response? The best thing u could do now is just try and change the disk cache to something higher like try 512 and see what results u get. Then keep messing with it till u get the best results until u find out how much RAM u have.

EDIT: So they cant even tell u how much RAM u actually have? Thats not cool and they should be able to tell u exactly how much the server has and how many users are sharing it. I guess they are saying u should get anywhere between 2-4 cause its shared, but not a set size. Just do what i said above in this post to find out your best results.

I updated my last post with the RAM
and i asked them another question regarding how many users are sharing the seedbox and they answered 5.

Edit: i also freed 10GB on the box

i had such high expectation and im heart broken

Their prices seem a bit over the top. I'd recommend feral hosting next time. There's nothing much more you could do, changing cache size could make a difference like mike said before (is the torrent saying any sort of error?).

I did the same with the edit as well on my last post.

So they cant even tell u how much RAM u actually have? Thats not cool and they should be able to tell u exactly how much the server has. Im confused by this and if 5 users are sharing 2-4gb's, then i hate to tell u this, but there's little u can do to get your speeds up. The server is too overloaded and u will have to cut down on the big torrents/packs & cap your speed .I guess or hope they are saying u should get anywhere between 2-4 cause its shared, but not a set size. The only thing u can do as of now is just do what i said above with your cache to find out your best results. Also what are your other settings for utorrent, like your bandwidth section?

No its not giving any errors... btw i want to know if i get a dedicated seedbox then on the right torrent you are bound to get like maximum upload speeds right ?

i deleted another 10GB to see if that helps, now there is 20GB free in total. Ive set to 512 but still speeds are jumping up and down.
