Thread: Dont get Constant Speed?

Hi,



I just got a seedbox which is shared btw. Now i want to ask is it only a problem with me or thats like universal in seedboxes, the thing is 1 sec i am getting upload speed of around 600Kb and the next instant its around 30Kb even though for a fact i know that there are 2 seeders of a file (1 being me) and there are around 90 leechers... still i dont get the full speed of the seedbox ?

PS. im using santrex seedbox

If your speed is dropping like that it sounds like your Hard Drive cant keep up with your connection. I have a couple of questions for u?? Are u using uTorrent and what is your cache set to? Also how much memory do u have?

i suppose your asking about the seedbox

Yes im using utorrent
and i have 70GB space
dont know about cache.. there is an option in the settings about "Disk Cache" but i havent touched it..

Ok, what u are seeing is not really normal and is only normal in a case of a server being overloaded or wrong version of wine. What i mean by that is your HDD cant keep up with your connection with all the disk reads & writes so it gets slower and in turn forces your connection to get slower.

How much RAM does each user on your server have?

I would try and set your disk cache in utorrent to something higher, like start off with 256 and test it from there and slowly find the best settings for your server. Or if u want, tell me how much RAM u have and what your disk cache settings are. Then i can help u optimize uTorrent disk cache so u get constant speeds.

How many torrents are you running as well. And are they big torrents?

It could also be actions of other users that are hurting your slot.

Thank you so much for helping me out

Okay im attaching a pic of the settings which say "Basic Cache Settings"



as far as RAM and the number of people sharing a seedbox is considered i have no idea, basically this is my first time using a seedbox and like today is my 4th day

SANTREX | Torrent Hosting

this is the link to the seedbox page and im using the bronze package with utorrent hosting

im running 5 torrents with a combined usage of around 68GB... 1 of the files is a bluerap rip of 37GB, another 2 are 9.8GB and 1 is like 5Gb and the also the same

Im not sure what server's Santrex uses, but im guessing OVH & Kimsufi and if thats the case im pretty sure they are not the low-end servers or they wouldnt have shared users with unlimited torrents for each. Let me change that statement, I am hoping thats not the case with Santrex or it would be a bad package deal.

Anyway i cant see the thumbnail u posted and i have to open in something else real fast so i have to get back to u in a couple of miinutes, but with the torrents u have running i can tell u right away it sounds like u have the disk overload issue.

Here is the new image



and do you suggest that i should lower my usage ? like its 70GB so a maximum of how much should i use?
