Re: Torrenting slows internet browsing to a crawl

The thing is, some transfers will reach your ratio limit before d/l is complete. If you have a transfer going away over ratio during d/l about the only recourse is to lower the u/l speed. The transfer should however, go to 'Seeding Complete' immediately after d/l completes.

That doesn't seem to ...

Re: Torrenting slows internet browsing to a crawl

That's what I understood. I download a torrent, then seed it until I've given back twice as much as I've downloaded. Then I stop.

After editing the files I always use the following:

pkill -HUP transmission-daemon

I figured that was enough, but let me know if I'm not following proper commands. I ...

Re: Torrenting slows internet browsing to a crawl

Thank you to everyone for helping out. I've changed the settings and it seems better. Will test over the next few days. Now to work out how to automate stopping a torrent once I've hit a certain ratio - as:

"ratio-limit": 2,
"ratio-limit-enabled": true,


Doesn't seem to be enough...

I have ...

Re: Torrenting slows internet browsing to a crawl

Well... I don't know what to say.

I know the score on calling customer services - they ask if you have followed all the steps they recommend before initiating a call. The tests they ask for: is your modem plugged in, is it connected to your main phone line, have you kicked it recently, that sort of ...

Re: Torrenting slows internet browsing to a crawl

Ok. Sorry. Not intending to come across as stupid or ill-informed. I don't know what 10, 30 or 100 mean - kbps?

Anyway, I've looked at an online speed test and it turns out my results are less than awesome. less than 1 mbps for both down and up. Seems very crap for a line that's supposed to have ...

Re: Torrenting slows internet browsing to a crawl

Gah! I can't believe I missed that. I take it that if the limits are enabled, the settings are reasonable? And which ones are the right ones to enable? I'm thinking these are the most obvious choices:

"alt-speed-down": 50,
"alt-speed-enabled": false,
"alt-speed-time-begin": 1140,
"alt-speed-time ...

Torrenting slows internet browsing to a crawl

Hi,

I use Transmission on a headless plugbox install, and it all works beautifully, except that when leeching or seeding my internet browsing slows to a crawl. This affects my PC and my laptop at the same time. Pausing the torrents almost immediately relieves the problem. What I tend to do is leave ...
