Hi,

Problem 1: mlDonkey stops seeding!
Does anybody has the same? I'm experinecing that mlDonky stops seeding if I seed torrents, with lot of other seeders. I would assume, that for a while the network activity stops, the disks go to powersave mode and after that mlDonkey can not seed anymore. If I restart mlDonkey than everything is fine, it seeds again (alone wakeing up the disk shows no effect). Has anyone the same problme? Is it possible, to make only one of the disks go sleep (no setting for that in the admin page). Is there a command for mlDonkey to restart instead of kill, that I can give in the command line of the web interface?

Problem 2: sometime I download a torrent from a tracker, but want to seed it on a different one. Presently I follow this procedure. I download the torrent from Page 1 into the /incomming folder. Mldonkey moves it to downloading folder. After it downloads mlDonkey puts it into the seeding folder. Here I come. I move the torrent from the seeding folder to the old folder. I download the torrent from Page 2 to the incomming folder. It moves to downloading folder. It acutaly starts to download. I move the torrent to the seeding folder. I cancel the downlaod on the web interface and than wait to seed the torrent. It works. My question: how it could be done easier? Is there a command to move the torrents between folders via the web interface (I do it with telnet at the momment)?

Thanks,

Toni

I find that with poorly seeded torrents my speed is considerably higher with something like Azureus.  When it is well seeded there's not much difference.

Hi,

I'm experiencing only a slight performance difference between uTorrent (windows) and mlDonkey (like uTorrent reports 800kbyte/s download, while mlDonkey 759k), but it has never been as significant that I started to measure it in detail. Even uploading is somewhat slower (i get arround 42-44kbyte - limit is 46kbyte, where uTorrent can upload arround 55 - limited to 50). I guess the setting could be fine tuned in the ini file for bittorrent for you connection.

Did anyone of you change the download.ini provided by shadowandy?

I'm having the speed issue too, with 2.9.2, download speed super slow around 15 kbytes/s, utorrent up to 400 kbytes/s, but upload is fast in 2.9.2 !

porttest all passed!

Any tips for mldonkey speed settings?

Hi!

I changed a few things in the download.ini and in the bittorrent.ini. I can download with 750-800kbyte/sec, which is representing the phisical capacity of my line. Upload is now at ~40kbyte, which is not the maximum, since it should go over 50 (line is capable of ~56), or at least at constant 46 (which is the speed limit set in the ini). I usually do not seed more than 3-5 torrents at the same time and I get about 30 connection and 10-15 uploaders (so I almost never reach the limits I have set). Port is open. The tracker sees my connection active.

If you have not changed anything, than you should check the followings and raise them if possible:
max_openned_connections (this has to be aligned with your router's setting if any - so router is not limiting this number) - I have 256 (never used it out)
BT-max_uploaders_per_torrent - deffault is 5, I increased it to 10
BT-max_bt_uploaders - deffault is 5, I increased it to 22
BT-client_timeout - this is now 90, It could be probably decresed so broken connections free earlier, but since I never reached connection limit I did not changed.

Some of the settings you can not change in the web interface, so I just killed the core. Changed the bittorrent and download ini (vi) and started the core again. Note: don"t forget to set the temp dir pointing to your HDD, otherwise you may have unfinished torrents!

I hope this helps a little, and even I don"t reach the speed of utorrent, download is fast upload is satisfactory for me (mldonkey 2.9.0).

I tested version 2.9.0, 2.9.1 and 2.9.2. Everytime I got a maximum of 20 kbytes/sec.
I swtiched back to rtorrent (running in a chroot) and now I can download again with fast speeds.

I changed nothing in the download.ini only in the bittorrent.ini the listening port.
The porttest was ok.

The files that is downloaded can´t be deleted?. From volume_1 ?

Also seeing this, although mine also can't be moved etc.

I haven't downloaded ShadowAndys download.ini (next thing to try), although I'm running his latest compiled version.

I'm using version 292 Chrooted and have no speed troubles at all! Great work ShadowAndy, cant thank you enough!

Be sure to forward the right ports in your Router!

Hi lw

unfortunately the mldonkey/torrent/ directory has no execute premission for "others". This was a problem for me as well, as I could not put the files to the torrent/incomming/ directory (this is, how I remotely make torrents to download - I put them via ftp to that directory or save them here...)
What you can do - put a line chmod a+x /mnt/Hd_a2/mldonkey/torrents into the end of your funplug script (or lunch it manually - but take care, anytime you restart mldonkey, the premissions will be restored to default). With this you can go inside the directory. Here you can allow writing/deleting by the command chmod a+w for all the dirs. With this you can move your torrent files (from seeded to old for example). If you want to delete some files make sure you remove its torrent from the seeding directory and that all the uploaders are disconnected...

Hey this may be a silly question, i have installed mldonkey and started a torrent, it all seems to be working fine, i can connect in every way available, however i can't find where the files are being downloaded to.

so where are the files stored whilst being downloaded, and where will they go once the download is finished and is being seeded.

When they are finished they will be in mldonkey/incoming/files*

* could also be in /directories depending upon what is in the torrent.

hi, I'd just install mldonkey v2.9.2.  How to add the torrent?  I tried clicked DL button, window pop up with editable box and a input button.  tried copy and paste absolute path in the box, then press input but failed..

Any help?

Hi,

easiest way is to save the torrent file to you .../mldonkey/torrent/incomming directory (if you have it shared it is no problem to save here). Worst case in one minute it will start downloading (the script checks the dir every 1 minute). It is good also, because you can put torrents to this dir with ftp from remote locations as well. Take care, that you change the directory premission so .../mldonkey/torrent is accessable (+x) to the user you access you NAS with.

Does the simple 2.9.2 version come with the modified downloads.ini that is also on shadowandy's site?

I seem to be having baaad speed issues.  I can upload at the limits of my con (around 80kb/sec) but can only download at around 5kb/sec.

Hi,

I don't really know the settings comming with 2.9.2, but you can check some of it on your own:
1. Check the number of connection (total and per torrent). You can see that on web interface up-right corner when in Transfer/download section. I have total at 250, normaly I never reach that.Check your router, if any, how many connection it lets through (should be higher - like 256).
2. Check weather you limit your upload speed - full speed upload kills download speed, so if you have max 80, than I would limit it to 70.
3. Check weather the port you use is open (porttest command in the web interface, let some time, than press refresh). Try changing the port, it may be tracked by the service provider or has conflict.
4. Be patient, things start to accelerate slowly.

Normaly download speed is not a problem, upload is more tricky... I hope this helps.
