Seeding speed
-
Hello all from Greece.
Is there any way to raise the speed of seeding?
Or does this depend on the number of seeders and leechers?Why downloading speed is so much bigger than the seeding speed? I have no seeding limit applied.
I use the latest utorrent client.
Thank you

I'm also waiting for an explanation.

i guess it depends from how may users are currently downloading the same torrent

If there are no speed limits at your end like your ISP cutting the speed then your speed will depend on what is happening at the other end. How many people are sharing, what speed they are allowing and there is not much you can do about that.
All ISPs, in my experience, allow much faster download speeds than upload ones.
For example my ISP has increased the download speed to a max of 200Mb\s over the years but the upload speed has remained at 5Mb\s
Your speed will have little to do with your torrent client

Hello
and thank you cannonmc. You confirmed my assumptions.
I really like seeding -the torrents I mean, not in sexual action
Torrents depend on sharing!
So since there is nothing I can do about it, I will just keep seeeeeeding.Se eyxaristo ki esena aleksopoule!

There is no definitive answer to that question. Upload speeds depend on too many different factors.
What you can do:
a) Stop all torrent and other internet activity on your internet access and run a few speed tests. Set the download speed to about 80% of the result download speed. Note that speeds usually are in bits/second while torrent clients use Bytes/second. 1 bytes ~ 10 bits (due to transport overheads).The thing here is not to choke the internet access, which would result in less than upload / download speeds.
b) Make sure your client is connectible. If not, downloading peers will prefer downloading from other peers which are connectible.
Then all will depend on the downloading peers. First there must be some, without download no upload. Second their download must not already be saturated by other downloads. Third, there must not be too many other peers uploading to them, with more free bandwidth than yours. (The protocol works in a way that big pipes get more, i.e. seedboxes and fibre opticts to home peers have a competive advantage over ADSL or cable modem users).
Finally, as already cannonmc said, home access upload is usually much less than download. A factor of 1/10 isn't uncommon. The 5 Mbits/s mentioned is the max. of a certain cable modem standard, ADSL maxes usually at 1 Mbits/s (can be less, depends on the distance to the next not). You can't do much about it, except changing access technology Fibre > VDSL > Cable* > ADSL > Dialup modem. While changing, upload speeds are not advertised. Make sure what you'll get, might be commercially limited.

Thanks for the explanation.

I found that portforwarding helped.
In your bittorrent client, uncheck the randomize each time and copy and paste it into your router config page
This website will teach you how to do it provided you know your router manufacturer

Yes… With the GT.ru tracker, not forwarding your proper port both in TCP and UDP from your router to your computer will have a serious and detrimental effect on your ability to upload content with GT.ru. If you're interested, I can also help you with what you need, such as looking up your port number based on the data that your torrent client has previously submitted to the tracker, and also helping you setup the port forwarding in the first place.
