Torrent load balancing

By Mehuge , August 18, in Troubleshooting. I have set the load balancing options on the router to direct all torrent port related traffic outbound ofc via WAN2 however most the volume of torrent traffic is still on WAN1, presumably all the inbound connections. How does utorrent detect the public IP? Actually, confused myself a bit with the load balancing rules. Seems I can't influence the WAN port use using a source port, configuration allows only for rules based on destination port, so configuring min and max source ports doesn't help, the router simply spreads those connections across both WAN ports which is why I see some port 's on wan2, also see them on wan1.

I have not done much changes except the quick setup. Plus also have unchecked "application optimized routing" and "bandwith based balance routing. Now this is the situaltion. I started a download on torrent using bitcomet and I was able to get full speed of 8mbps on it.

Now simultaniously I also played a youtube video p expecting the load balancer will route the bandwidth from torrent to you tube. But utube video starting stuttering and did not play properly p.. Torrent was still getting the full bandwidth of both connection. Now my question is where is the load balancing hapenning. All its doing is clubbing the bandwidth of both connection and giving it to torrent.
