New Transmission add-on thread
The previous thread was very long time to open a new one and prepare the 2.0 :)
Well, JarnoG, numbers are always interesting. I did a bit of fast maths. My NAS is a NV, upgraded with a 1GB RAM stick. Seeing as my global peers limit is set to 75, and torrent peer limit is 50, Anything higher then 13.6 would eat up all my RAM, just for the cache it self, should i ever hit the global peer limit.
With the limit set to 8 i use just about 600MB for cache alone, and speed with 6 completed torrents uploading hits the 2MB/s mark. With the cache set to 16, i hit 1.2MB/s, or there abouts.
It should be noted that performance drops, a fair bit, with the increased cache, even as i'm nowhere near the peer limits, i'm hoowering around the 15 peers mark...
For yet another unknown, setting the cache to a "odd" size, in this case 6MB, made the speeds completely out of whack. It keep bouncing, 300-700KB/s with ocational "highs" just shy of 1MB/s. Not quite sure what would cause this.
Setting cache to a higher number, in this case 32MB, which at my current load would be about half the memory alone, isn't resulting in better performance either.
At this point in my testing, speeds came crashing down, so i assume there are no longer any peers fast enough to load up my connection. It was my intention to go back over the cache sizes again to verify all the numbers with a second 10 minute pass each, but that will apparently have to wait. (I'm also down to 10 connected peers rather then 15, so go figure...)
Cache sizes tested, 4, 6, 8 16 & 32MB. With the exception of 6, it seams less is more, here.
Also, adding and removing a torrent for download with each cache size proves the same point over and over. If you as much as think of downloading, upload speeds come crashing down. I wish it wasn't so, but uploads apparently take priority, in a big way.
B!
