Furthermore torrenting has always been rather slow on the Pi due to the nature of torrenting requiring the Pi to use a checksum included in the torrent file to ensure that you aren't being sent the wrong chunk from someone. Furthermore when said cache in memory is flushed it must be flushed to the usb drive which you are using, which just so happens to share the same bus as the ethernet port as the Pi does not have a native Ethernet port but instead a usb hub with Ethernet adapter built in.

It may also be due to the fact that most torrent clients download to ram then flush when it's full which may be the slowdown that you are noticing on the Pi.

Note: I personally find that limiting connections to something like 20-50 and bandwidth to something like 1mbps prevents connections from timing out and also prevents Ethernet from challenging the USB ports for bandwidth.

It could be because of the limited number of connections you can make, often the other people you are downloading from will have very limited upload speed, and a decent upload speed is only created with a lot of connections, sadly the Pi is not capable of handling a lot of connections so sometimes you will get lucky and connect with someone who has a higher upload speed than usual who will allow the Pi to download faster without the need for more connections to be opened.

Their are many possible problems that could lead to a slow download speed. I think the deluge in the raspi-repo is outdated, and I would recommend anyone who is having the similar problems to do the same.

Could it be that my router is sending too many packets for my pi to handle?Īfter changing to transmission and tweaking the settings a little I found this problem to go away. Even with 173 seeders and 0 peers still maxed out around 1MBps then fell to around 50KBps. Just added some more really well seeded torrents and observed the download speed. I have also torrented on my computer on my home network so I doubt it could be my ISP throttling p2p connections.ĭoes anybody know why this could be, or have resolved a similar issue when torrenting with a raspberry pi? I am downloading to an external USB flash drive so that could be the issue, if so how could I check the read and write speeds? I've checked the CPU and memory usage so it can't be that, maybe the power supply? I have already tried changing all the settings in Deluge, and even used transmission on my pi to no avail. So far I have found this thread, which describes my problem accurately, but it doesn't come to a decisive answer. I have done file download speed tests and get upwards of 3.3Mbps, yet even on the best seeded torrents my dl/up speed soars for a couple of seconds, then abruptly grinds to a halt for another few. My upload and download speeds on my seedbox hosted on my pi constantly fluctuated between 2.5MBps and 50/0KBps.
