I am trying to switch from Azureus to KTorrent because of az's high cpu and memory requirements. After using ktorrent for a day I am happy with it's download speed, just as fast as any other client I have used, but the upload speed is abysmal. My connection is 2048/256, so I set my upload speed cap to 20KB/s in ktorrent, a sensible maximum that has worked elsewhere, but ktorrent is uploading almost nothing. Tens of kilobytes per hour, at best. When I manually check a torrent marked as Seeding, I see myself connected to zero peers usually, one at most, and usually no upload speed to that one.

My limits are as follows:
max downloads = 3
max seeds = 3
max connections per = 80
global connection limit = 400
max upload = 20
max download = 0
port = 6881
udp port = 4444
upload slots = 4
share ration = 3

and I am using ktorrent 2.1rc1 installed from the ubuntu feisty package. any help would be appreciated.

You should try 2.1 when it comes out next weekend, this bug is already fixed.

problem persists in 2.1

update with more info... while im downloading, i upload at full speed to my peers. but once i start seeding, i connect to only zero or one peer at a time and upload almost nothing.

This should have been fixed in 2.1, maybe you are connected to superseeders ?

What do you see in the requests field of the list of peers ?
