catdaaaady Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Can anyone explain how many chunks a peer will download in parallel from a seeder?It seems it is one chunk at a time. But I want to be sure. My goal is to max out my network interface, but I can only get btsync to use less than half. I have not tweaked any of the settings yet. But they are as so: { "device_name": "server1", "disk_low_priority": 1, "download_limit": 0, "external_port": "0", "folder_rescan_interval": "600", "lan_encrypt_data": 1, "lang": 4294967295, "listening_port": 17405, "log_size": "10", "max_file_size_diff_for_patching": "1000", "max_file_size_for_versioning": "1000", "rate_limit_local_peers": 0, "recv_buf_size": "5", "send_buf_size": "5", "sync_max_time_diff": "600", "sync_trash_ttl": "30", "upload_limit": 0, "use_upnp": 1 } If a peer does only download one chunk at a time from a seeder, it would seem the only way to increase throughput would be to increase the number of seeders in this case. So a peer would download one chunk from each of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baz Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 I think this is why, when I have a single large file to download... btsync is convenient and it plods along at 2.5MB/s. However, if I have a significant amount of smaller files (say... .rar files), I boot up FileZilla and kick-off 10 simultaneous transfers. Each hits between .5-1.5MB/s which roughly maxes out my server's 100mbit NIC. I suppose you're probably right re: having more seeders. For my usage, I am sending direct from my server to my home machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catdaaaady Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Yup. That is what I am thinking. I wonder if you can control that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spYro Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 put both buffers to 100 (recv and send), helped me to raise my speed from 50℅ to 100℅ edit: this should NOT help for many small files but for normal or big files it sure helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
