Understanding Queue settings
Posted: Sat Feb 11, 2017 5:23 am
Hi
I can't quite understand how Queue settings work. I would really appreciate if someone could give me an overall explanation.
Also, I'm setting up a Raspberry Pi seedbox (running Raspbian), and I'd like to know what is the best Queue settings: should I max out active torrents (some value like 999), or use some value like 20~30 and then cycle queue the rest of the torrents? I've read that queueing can help overall upload speeds, but I don't know if this information is relevant for a Seedbox config.
I'd like to give an example: I have about 70 .torrent files loaded on Deluge, but my Active Torrents setting is at 20, so I end up with 50 queued and 20 seeding torrents. 15 of my seeding torrents don't have peers at this moment, so their upload speed is 0 KB/s, as they are uploading nothing; on the other hand, 17 of my queued torrents have lots of peers to upload to, but they are NOT uploading because they need to wait the queue cycle.
At this point of my understanding, it looks like I'm operating at a non-optimal situation, as the 15 seeding torrents that don't have peers could open up space to the ones that have peers, but are queueing.
Another example situation that bothers me is: if I have 3 active torrents uploading at fast speeds, and then their cycle end; what will happen? Will they stop uploading and start queueing, giving their position to other 3 torrents that may be don't even have peers to upload to? This would really prejudice my private tracker's ratio, as I could keep uploading some good torrents instead of stopping them to free up space to other torrents that won't even upload..
Hope I made myself clear (English is not my native language). Thanks in advance
