I have ComCast (still), and there's no good way to automatically take advantage of the speed bursts.
Thread: Any way to configure utorrent to auto-refresh speedboost/powerboost?  |

Started 1 month, 3 weeks ago by rurouni
I have comcast and I see the effects of speedboost when I start up utorrent for the first time. I believe I'm under comcast's 8/2 plan and when I first start up utorrent I get download speeds of about 1.5mb/s and uploads speeds of 500kb/s, which is clearly the speedboost in effect. From a little googling I found other people already trying to work on this, but those topics were from 2007. ...

Hmm...Well, what's weird for me is that my download speed stays at a steady 1mb/s, but my upload speed goes all over the place from 260kb/s all the way up to 600kb/s when I set the upload cap to unlimited. This continues on past the initial speedburst time frame. So I was thinking my upload speeds are being re-speedboosted, which led me to think I could do the same for my download speed ...

Right, as of right now I have it limited to 200 since that's close to what was recommended in the "conservative speed chart." I'm just saying that leaving it on unlimited gives me more than what my advertised upload speed is at, since my plan is 8/2, and that's what I'm trying to figure out: why am I getting speeds above my advertised rate and if there was a way to take advantage of such ...

If you're running with no limits, it puts a much larger burden on ComCast's shared network. It runs faster because 200 KiloBYTES/sec < 2 megabit/sec. I deleted your other post (the one in chat). If people don't see this one, that's too bad. It's practically spamming (to try to get someone's attention) when someone posts essentially the same question in multiple places.

if it works anything like the cox "speedboost" you'll never be able to make proper use of it As a long time subscriber to cox high speed internet, i was quite pissed off when they pretended like they are upgrading their speed tiers and offering some garbage called "speedboost." I immediately noticed (when it was rolled out in my area) that my upload speed was no longer capable of sustaining max...

Thanks mouser. I figured if you could cap it at like, 95% of your rate, then somehow automatically undo the cap at a certain interval, the average of 95% and 200% over the long run WOULD be worth it, assuming I'm correct in my interpretation of how speedboost works. As of right now I have it uploading at a constant 200kb/s rate. I will now give up on my dreams of abusing speed boost, haha. ...

i've never had speedboost last any longer than 20 seconds. The worst part would be having to CONSTANTLY monitor your uploads and change bandwidth limitation so you could trigger the speedboost. Even if i had the time, i don't have the patience for something so tedious and repetitive. i bet there is a way to get around it. i just haven't been able to figure it out

So here are some pictures of what's going on with my utorrent. Note that I am on 8/2, so technically my "max" upload rate should be around 250kb/s, if I calculated that correctly. I set my cap at 220kb/s, however, even when I set it lower (like 200 or even 180) I still get these results: 1second increments http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/5264/utorrent1s .jpg 5second increments http://...

Here's a closeup of speedboost in action: http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/9472 … eedboo.png And here's an "overview" on a larger scale: http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/8845 … ramids.png It is not an accident that the peaks on the larger scale seem to hit the same level each time. ComCast "gives" something like 10-20 MB at faster speeds, regardless of how much faster the speeds end up...
