[Help] Is there some kind of artificial maximum upload setting that I can't see?

Help

I've got v2.2.1 build 25110 running on Windows 10. Files are stored on the LAN on an unRAID server.

Max upload in uTorrent is set to unlimited. My network upload bandwidth is ~106MB/s. Plex is currently serving about 4MB/s.

I was the only seed on a torrent (and the only thing that was active in my client, in fact), seeding to eight peers. The max upload was about 22MB/s. I added a second torrent where I was the only seed as above, then the upload split: each torrent is now seeding at ~11MB/s.

Theoretically, I understand that the peers I'm connected might not be able to accept anymore upload bandwidth. But to have the values split fairly evenly when adding another torrent where I am the only seed is odd...

Does anyone have insight on this?

Anyone?

It's happened again today. Same scenario as I described above.

There is no artificial maximum upload setting that you can't see.

I can hit about 110MB/sec for long periods on my 1gb home connection.

You can test with other clients just to see if this is a system or client issue.

I guess I'll have to wait for another scenario where I'm the only seed and test with Deluge, which lives on the server with the content.

Thanks for the reply.

The only other things to check are that your speed is still gb speed upload, as 22mb might mean ISP speed step down to 200-250mb (usually due to frequent disconnects, speed reduced to keep your line stable). Unlikely but worth confirming.

The unraid server might also be a bottleneck and you should check that.

There is always the danger of OP not mentioning vpn...these can impact upload speeds significantly. :P
