Question / Help uTorrent cases massive dropped frames!

[BlockAboots]

I have noticed when utorrent client is running on another PC on the network when i am trying to stream causes OBS to have massive dropped frames, even though i have set the upload limit of utorrent to something like 2000kbps. I have a 12meg upload limit from my BroadBand provider and only stream at 3200kbps so still have plenty of headroom where upload capacity is concerned so why am i getting dropped frames?

This sounds like a question for uTorrent support.

Sounds like you aren't getting the full 12mbps from your provider, or your router is unable to process packets fast enough (uTorrent uses lots of small packets).

Well according to speedtest im getting the full upload speed and i have an ASUS RT-N56U so it should be up to the task of processing packets??

Speedtest is worthless for livestreamers. It tests on a different data transmission method than livestreaming uses. ISP quoted speeds doubly useless.
Also, that 'home router' can handle up to 300K concurrent connections, from its spec-sheet. Torrenting can use far more than that, depending on how you have it set up.

Short version though: Don't do bandwidth/network intensive stuff while you're trying to livestream.
