Not that simple, bud. The more YOU upload, the higher priority you are given in terms of download speed. This is how the torrent protocol works.

Whatever you're at right now, just put it on unlimited when you're off to bed.

Don't worry, I will turn it up to full power when I go to bed for tonight. In the meantime, please watch this video to relieve some of your stress. It changed my life for the better.

Actually ..... My opinion is to thank the Seeders for continuing to offer the File even after they are done downloading.
Personally I have my Bandwidth wide open and restricted to 6 slots so that people Dling from me get some good speeds ( instead of 4-5 kb/s spread amongst 30 people. )
It's just the principle to thank those of us that are sending out the upload even when we have nothing to gain from it, rather than demanding " Give me more"
But then I'm an old bastid ;)

I've got my upload unlimited and was managing a 300k download.
At least until my wife set her iTouch to start downloading 3 movies :(
I leave for vacation tomorrow moring, doubt I'll be finished downloading before then but I'll have it up with unlimited upload speed until I get home on Sunday.

I'm giving all I can at the moment ... sometime tomorrow my DSL should get a speed increase though. /happydance (which will likely knock me offline but I'll put the seed back up as soon as I can)

I'm capping my upload at about 100kb/sec over 6 slots, thats all I can give ya guys :( lol

I have uploaded over 200gb.
There are alot of fast seeds but sooo many leechers and as soon as people finish downloading they are hopping off instantly.

I'll go ahead and seed tonight. I executed the setup file. Am I still able to seed after doing that?

There are still people trying to get the file, yes?

I figured but I am not joking when I say that I have left my bit torrent on since yesterday and I am looking at it right now, there are 2 uploads of different files and neither of them are the Beta Client.
I will leave it on again tonight. I hope it helps others!

Im about to go to bed so i set my upload speed at unlimited. So that will also increase me download speed? And what if i set bandwith allocation on high, what would that do?

that is bs I've uploaded 6 gigs and my download rate is still 14kbs...

I don't suppose if anyone wants to check the total % the general area of completed download/s for the leechers? And how many seeders are there total? Seeders usually make the big difference. You also want to be sure you have your router (if you're using one) with the correct ports opened and what not.
Edit: Nevermind. I checked myself.
Currently there are 835 seeders. About 30 I connect to.
Leechers at 10207 and connection up to and continuing past 300.
D/l rate after five minutes is up to 600 kB/s which drops down to about 400 or so on but then picks back up or beyond. I don't see why everyone is having a problem. It's not any of the seeders or leechers. It's just you don't have the correct config. :???:

he is sorda right. you have to set your upload rate to a number relative to your max upload from your isp. if your upload from you isp is 800 kbps, divide that by 8 (divide 8 bytes to get 8 bits) gets you 100. times that by .8 gives you 80. so you would set your upload to 80. this is just a rough example for most effective uploads/downloads on utorrent.
dont pick this post apart. i know its vague.

Just wanted to thank everyone that is seeding, this is the worst download system ever and if it were not for you 9 people life would stink! I have been downloading since yesterday 17 hours later my husband and I are only at 44 percent.
Yes we have ports and everything exactly as the other threads says.
So thanks to you seeders.:D
But one question what does it mean by "hash"? I have like 45 of those my husband does not have any.

Why are you both downloading, you're not sharing a connection?

My download is done for awhile, but I think I have angered the ISP gods after seeding all night at +200 kb/s I'm down to jumping between +40-80 kb/s. When I get back from work I'll see if I can speed it up for you guys.

I've been seeding at unlimited since I finished the download yesterday morning. Unfortunately my top UL speed seems to be around 60 kbps. My question is this: Is it better to limit peers to about 50 so that they are getting more per person, or should I leave it at 100 or set it higher? Or does it make no difference, mathematically speaking?

I'd assume since you can only upload at 50k your better off sending that to only like 2 people. In the grand scheme it all pans out to the same but whats the point of sending .5k to 100 people? Better off IMO sending 25k to 2 people.

Seeding away. Although I cap at about 100kBps on upload speed.
I'll leave it on and only turn it down when I am playing something.
Enjoy:p

I should be done downloading the client in about 8 hours (hitting 110kB/s atm). Once that is done, I'll be seeding overnight and max speed. I will have to let my computer get a little rest though. It's been downloading since early Sunday morning and regardless of how many fans I have in my rig, sometimes ya just need a break. :p
Every little bit helps.

Lowered it to 5 peers, that'll be about 12 kBps per person, hopefully it helps. Wish I could be faster, but I've uploaded about 14GB total since this started--every bit matters.

Ditto here. I'm supporting about 600Kbps sustained. Just changed the config to limit it to 4 active peers at once, so each is getting about 150Kbps from me. Will leave it running like this until the CE Beta fires up :)

If your using uTorrent I reccomend you read and follow the Help instruction to determine your own upload speed and set it accordingly, this will in turn alter your download rate. the more you upload the more you get to download, thats the way Torrents work. It discourages people from downloading without contributing to other peoples downloads =)

is your computer set to turn off your ethernet adapter(to save power) when your comp goes into sleep mode?

More people need to do this, it sucks to download for a while at 250-400 KB/s and then drop down to 16 kb/s.

Only able to up 55kB/s max here, but I've been seeding ever since my dl completed Monday morning. Shareing the love and WAR as best I can. =)
Kuani
08-12-2008, 10:54 AM
As a general rule, I always at the very least try to get my dl/ul ratio to 1. I just believe its polite to upload as much as I download, not that I use a whole lot of torrents.
So yeah, If youve finished downloading and are able to, Please keep seeding as long as you can.:p

Hey all, Just completed downloading and am all patched up and ready for beta !
I've got my torrent set to unlimited upload and will leave it up as long as possible. Best of luck to all those still awaiting beta invites, and I hope I'm able to help those that are in the beta and downloading by seeding over the next few days.
Currently seeding about 250kb/s across 6 users.

Thank you to everyone who is seeding. My download speed went from 70-100 kB/s in the early morning to 30-60 kB/s by noon and it recently went up to 120kB/s. Currently 28% done.

I've been seeding nonstop since I finished DL'ing Sunday afternoon, but I have Comcast and uploads are severely throttled, so currently I've managed to U/L only about 50% more than I DL'd. I figure I'll let it run at least until I've UL'd twice what I DL'd.
Harachel
08-12-2008, 12:54 PM
I'm seeding now, but by the looks of it its no longer much of a problem. When I finished there were about 90 seeders, now look at it!!
As of now my upload is very throttled, damn isp, but every little bit helps.
SEE YOU ALL IN BeTA!

is it possible to seed even if you just downloaded the warpatcher and went through that app? Instead of downloading it through bittorrent? I am currnetly all up to date with the patcher

Ok guys, just started seeding and am currently uploading at an average of 50Kb/s atm. :( Upload is set to unlimited and this seems the highest it'll go, so enjoy all downloaders! Also, kinda sucky after such a long download that the servers are down, hopefully tomorrow they'll be up. See ya on the frontlines Order recruits! And for the Destruction peons...prepare to be silenced! :D

It is pretty annoying this torrent, esp for people new to it.
Getting bad download speeds because of dumb people that have no clue how P2P works, and half the leechers are not uploading anything.
