Downloading torrents killing internet

johnpoz

500/10 wow... Can you even hit 500 with only 10 up? Just the acks alone would suck up quite a bit of that pipe..

Torrents would kill that with such a limited upload if not highly contained..

I have 500/50 - I don't torrent from this connection. I torrent on a seedbox, and then just download to my PC from... This is going to be a better solution all the way around if you ask me with such a limited upload. And now you don't have to worry about your isp and any sort of "stuff" you might be downloading via torrents ;)

Just my opinion..

Nope upload is not even hitting 30kb.
Like i said on DD WRT this is not happening.
And yes i know 500/10 sucks but the best i have here i wish it had more upload for running VPN etc.

Nope i just ran again while downloading torrents go this message:
"Failed to get servers available. Something may be blocking requests error:23
The browser failed to fetch the list of available servers. Either your connection went offline or there is a proxy or other browser extension blocking the test. If this error occurs after a successful test then there is probably a temporary resource exhaustion in the browser, OS or router."

when i was able to run it 11 connections failed and 6 successful.

Ill try the codelq and report result with it.

I think doing a codelq scheduler and 520Mb in Traffic Shaper on the WAN improved a lot although not perfect but much better while downloading.
Buffer bloat was A with codelq.

Do several tests with an "up queue" (limited at 10Mbit ?) - start using values like

and also a little bit above and beneath.

@Gertjan
i did 9500 on the upload and now its working with much smaller delay.
Buffer bloat is now A++ while downloading torrents.

I used this youtube video to set it up.

@stephenw10
yes it helped thanks for tip.
I started learning now about traffic shaping to see if i can do more to improve
performance and just to learn about it for fun :)
