Keeping BitTorrent from saturating my upstream?

[iwearnosox]

I don't mind participating but it's choking my poor box, can anyone recommend a specific torrent build or a utility to throttle this sucker back?

FAQ says you can h4x0r it but then your upload will be affected. Download speed is relevant to your upload.

Not really. Only if there are very few seeds.

Download the experimental client. Knowing you, I don't need to say any more.

http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

http://sourceforge.net/projects/burst/


I heard good things about those. Not sure if they allow you to limit it, the experimental client does, but I never liked it.



Edit: You can also use a program called Netlimiter, but I think it will slow down your download.
I know azureus lets you limit it if you look in the screenshots.

try the "burst" bt client. i set the upload limit to 20kb/sec and it works.

Jesus, if you're gonna participate in swarm type downloading, just leave the upload speed alone. Kazaa, fine. Bittorrent relies on everyone sharing to enable faster DLs.

I wish mine would do that. If I set it to that, mine DL speeds would drop to 3k MAX or even 0k. It's sad. So I leave it on at 10k on dsl/cable slow.

Please read my post, it's a saturation issue. I've got other things to do with my connection as well.

my isp officially has an 1gb upload limit per month. they dont enforce it or monitor it closely, but i dont want to get their attention by uploading like 20 gigs in one month.

you just gotta let it run for a lil bit.

it'll pick up speed once more seeds are available.

I solely use BT for downloading free anime fansubs, as do probably most of the posters here.

Lol: 1 seed, 488 leeches on a 3.6gb file. Yay!

Great for linux distros, too..

I made up for all you leechers back in Februrary. Uploaded over a terabyte with BT with no consequences.

Yep, I just downloaded slackware last night and I've downloaded many game demos with it.
