Torrenting does max upload speed affect download

 · If you put the upload limit too low, other peers and seeds many auto-snub or manually ban your ip and your download speed can suffer immensely as a result. Snubbing is built into the BitTorrent protocol, but it's only supposed to kick in if an attempt to upload a single 16 KB chunk takes longer than ~30 seconds to that peer. Setup max upload speeds and max upload amounts for each torrent to fix this. A decent ratio would be so if you download 8GB, your client will upload approximately 8GB, you could also simply set your upload speed really low like 5 KB/s. If you are able to max out your bandwidth using a single torrent, you might as well download them consecutively, say so that you can consume/ use/ file the first thing as soon as it arrives. It all depends on how well seeded the things you want are, and how fast the upload speeds of your peers are.

I set it to 10, KiB for upload, which is the max I can set other than infinite, and unlimited for download. I had tried for lower speeds at one point, but I noticed I have issues even with higher. The up speed goes down and the download goes down with it, even before going under 1Mb. the officially package in arch linux Qt: libtorrent: boost: When i set the upload limit the download speed become slow and when i don't set a limit for the upload speed it back to the normal speed This person.

No, its the other way around, a higher upload correlates with higher download. But due to the way BitTorrent protocols work, to get the most out of your connection, your upload speed should be set manually to a little bit lower than your max upstream bandwidth capacity.(as noted above). even if i set my max upload to 5+MB/s my download wont exceed 1MB/s but soon as i set it to unlimited. bam 5+MB/s download speed. Do torrent clients detect you using the "Unlimited" option? i tried with Deluge, uTorrent, and qBittorrent all the same thing. Thank you. It's the reverse, lowing upload may also lower your download when torrenting. It's usually OK unless you lower your upload to some crazy low level (e.g. 1 KB/s). Other peers in the torrent swarm see your lowered upload may think you are not contributing bandwidth back to the swarm will choke you.
