Hi- I have a problem with ktorrent- it downloads just fine when there are lots of seeds but it only uploads at about 0.3 kb/s which doesn't give me very good speeds on most torrents- is this some bug ? my upload speed limit is set at 25 kb/s I tried no limit same thing.

ktorrent 2.1 btw not beta or rc1

I increased the upload slots from the default "2" (?!!) to 5 but the upload speed is not improving and most peers are listed as "choked"

And on another torrent where most peers are not choked it uploads few kn and the goes again to 0

I should mention that I scanned port 6881 from here http://www.pcflank.com/scanner1.htm and it was open

In the peers tab, there are two columns : upload slot and requests

The peers who have an upload slot, do they have something in the requests field ?

Heh- I reassigned that torrent to utorrent which seems to have some problems also getting the maximum upload speed but it certainly does much better than ktorrent's 0.3 kb/s I started a new one with ktorrent and it starts downloading chunks and can't seem to get far enough to finish them- oh looks like it just finished a chunk and started uploading-
for the peers with upload slots I have requests like this: 2/0; 2/2; 2/1; 3/2. Dunno what it means though- and the upload speed is erratic - goes to maybe over 10 kb/s the back to 0.3 even 0.1 then back up and so forth

I also run this script on the pc I run ktorrent:

iptables -I POSTROUTING -t nat -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -i eth0 -d 193.231.120.213 --dport 50003 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d 193.231.120.213 --dport 50003 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.3:50003
#iptables -A FORWARD -p udp -i eth0 -d 193.231.120.213 --dport 4444 -j ACCEPT
#iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -i eth0 -d 193.231.120.213 --dport 4444 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.3:4444
iptables -A FORWARD -p udp -i eth0 -d 193.231.120.213 --dport 50003 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -i eth0 -d 193.231.120.213 --dport 50003 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.3:50003
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

But I don't see how that would affect ktorrent; btw the torrent I got left running in utorrent is not uploading very fast now at all either- 5 kb/s goes up down etc.

Is there a way I can test the upload speed ? cause it seems they just increased my local download cap to 5 MB/s (yay!) Is it possible at the same time they decreased my upload one ?

I did a test and looks like both my download and upload speed have been increased- the upload speed being 58 kb/s I don't get it. And that's not just locally.

Now I increased the limit in both utorrent and ktorrent- utorrent is doing about 40 kb/s, ktorrent goes between 0.1 and 9
