Comment 5 for bug 428231

I can't confirm it in a 10.10 2.6.35-24.42 i386 with vuze 4.3.0.6-1.

Have you tried to reduce the number of peers connected? It seems that this option has a direct impact in overhead bits. And I quote from http://wiki.vuze.com/w/Reduce_memory_usage

"Many users overestimate the importance of the number of peer connections since they think more peers = more download, but that's a misconception. Peers will only be willing to give data to you if you give data to them. Since your upload speed likely has a low cap, it is in your best interest to connect to only a few peers and send them as much data as possible, so they will reciprocate. More peers = more memory used + less available bandwidth due overhead of the BitTorrent protocol.
Generally 90-120 connections should be enough under most circumstances."

Can you explain also, step by step, how are you calculating your connection speed mean? I'm finding that's difficult to calculate.

Thanks in advance
