qBittorrent official forums

Hey guys

first thank u for ur great torrent client  i was searching for good client since utorrent get ruined i found Vuze its good but its over bloated and very slow ( java meh ) and resource hogger 
then 3 days ago i was testing some clients and i found qbittorrent and deluge ( deluge  for some reason won't open the port with upnp) so i'm now with Qbit its very nice and fast but the download speed very unstable in less than second it go from 800 -900 KB to 500 KB to 400KB to 100KB  than it jump again then it slow again in seconds 

any help ? 

my internet speed 13Mb and upload speed 886 Kb

thanks 

Hi and welcome,

Are you using the default settings or did you change it? Port is correctly open (showing green)? What OS are you on? Does the torrent have enough seeds? If not the speed could be unstable.

First of all you should limit the upload speed to ~80% of your real one. In your case set it to: 700KB/s

Im not sure if those are his ''real'' reachable download/upload speeds, he can't set it at 700kB/s cause he has probably a 1MB upload connection. For example he has a 1mb upload line so 1MB / 8 = 128kB/s, he only reaches 886 Kb so that makes it 110kB/s, he should limit it around 75kB/s. Correct me if im wrong but he says he reaches downloadspeeds not higher than 1MB.

If he means 886Kbps then Nemo is correct.

here is my speed test

and the port is green so its open , i'm using Windows 8 pro

and no i don't use stock setting i limit the upload speed to 45KB and download speed to 1MB
i use Linksys EA3500 router BTW

And i have another small problem running 2 or 3 torrents at the same time will cuz non of them get good download ( like one with 50KB one with 150KB and one with 250KB ) speed even they are connected to a lot of seeders and peers so as soon as i stop 2 of them and run one the download speed will get high again ,  is it normal ?

thank u guys

Do you get better results with other bittorrent clients? Have you enabled utp? (should be on by default)
There is a possibility that you ISP is throttling torrents. In this case forcing encrypted connections might help. Tools->Options...->Bittorrent->Encryption mode->Require encryption

LOL i actually  get better download speed than vuze and deluge on qbittorrent but for some reason it keep jump up and down , UTP is on

maybe but i did this test : http://broadband.mpi-sws.org/transparency/bttest.php it said it don't throttle torrent hmm but i will test to set it to Require encryption

BTW here is image with 2 torrents running

with one only ( it was going between 350 -600KB )

Try a really popular torrent like this one: http://www.nyaa.eu/?page=download&tid=459596
And report back. (stop all other torrents)

^^

aha so its seeders problem :/

its fairly stable between 950KB and 1.0MB

sorry guys and thank u for ur help

Good that it is fixed .

Alot of seeds is nice but doesn't always mean more speed, mainly it does but not always. Even a few seeds could be enough to max your downloadspeed. If there are too many leechers compared to seeders speed could be low which is normal. At the end it depends on other people's uploadspeed. Other than that your internet or router can cause connection/speed problems but thats not the case here.

Have fun using qBittorrent .

BTW nice anime site sledge, didn't knew that one  .

If you want to download anime, you should use XDCC bots on IRC. They have all the episodes in HD/whatever quality you want, and can download from them with full speed.
(As a torrent site I preferred BakaBT and AnimeBytes - both are free to register...)

[quote="yahyoh"]aha so its seeders problem :/[/quote]That seeder problem may be due to a flaw in BitTorrent's very design.

Seeds often give little or nothing.
On busy torrents, typical seeds are connected to 40+ peers but uploading to only 4. You'll be downloading from them <10% of the time, so such "seeds" give you nothing for hours.
The opposite of that kind of seed is one that uploads to almost every connected peer...those give you <1 KiB/sec.
