qBittorrent official forums

I have a really annoying problem going on, since last 2 days, my torrents upload at very low speeds and it's very annoying if you have to upload as much as you can if you are using a private torrent website..

2 days ago, my computer crashed, and it had to re-check every single torrent...And since I am an impatient person, I removed all the torrents and started downloading new ones (had to free HDD space anyways) and since I have downloaded those new torrents, my upload speed is always under 50kbs and before I deleted all those torrents it was always at 400-600kbs and a total of 1.2mbs daily.


I have tried few things

Downgrading qBittorrent (Didn't really help, I looked around on the forums found out about qBittorrent 3.1.0alpha, trying that one out)
Portforwarding and checked if it's open and if www.canyouseeme.org can see it, yes it did.
Reset the settings if it did mess up something


I am out of idea's, and I really doubt it's the tracker that's causing the problems...

How many people are leeching from you? Maybe the current peers have low downloadspeed, or having not their ports open correctly. I get this too sometimes but overall seeding is good, maxing by peer(s) with good internet connection/correct configured client. For example one of my private torrent from few months old with currently 2 peers (one from Cuba, other Malaysia...) they only get 5-10KB/s from me on my fiber line. I've tested this on uTorrent also just to be sure and its the same. I mean 1 peer could max your upload speed but even with 10 it wouldn't if they have the above things. Im very sure that this behaviour is not on your side but on others so don't worry .

So, if I understand it correctly, I can't do anything about it?

Hmm did you changed anything in the options? Enough peers available thats for sure.

Nope, I did not change anything in options

I don't think it's qB. It could be there's enough Seeds for those files so -your- seed speed is slow now. Could it be your ISP is throttling you? Do you have encryption enabled or set to "prefer encryption"?

Go to Tools->Options...->Connection and play with "maximum upload slots".
Also any changes you have made in settings might have been reset after the crash.

Only the newest versions of qBittorrent 3.1.0alpha allow more than ~8 global upload slots, regardless of "maximum upload slots" value.
Hopefully, either the upload slot fix is pushed into qBittorrent 3.0.11/12 or qBittorrent 3.1.0 is released soon.

My ISP is not throttling P2P.

Tried playing around with the maximum upload slots, nothing .

I have the same problem now with the older versions of qB which I had not,

Thats very true, plus if there are seedboxes active then the leeching peers prefer them first and then you, atleast thats what I see. This way they are probably maxing their speed pretty quick which leads to your lower uploadspeeds. With public trackers im maxing almost everytime but not with private ones.

I guess you are right, because right now, I am downloading (Game name, scene group) which was uploaded 1 hour ago and this is the upload speed I am getting;



I guess it's bad luck

A tip for next time; do not forget to hide the name of the torrent, in this case a illegal one. Doesn't matter for me but this to avoid any warnings of any kind concerning copyright. Edited your post .

Oh wow, didn't think about that, my bad, will edit the name out next time!

Hi there.
How do I disable OS read cache on latest builds? (Win 8 )
In order to drastically reduce memory consumption.

Read cache does not eat up memory. The OS manages it (as you said)... which also means it throws out everything when it needs the RAM.
So you don't have to worry about that.

Hope that helped.
