BlackLion Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Do I need just one (1) Port ? yep, just one port is all you need. all the newer clients use one port.Which Port number do you recommend ? anything higher than the standard bt ports. I normally go for ^40000.Do I need Just TCP or also the UDP protocol ?TCP for now, but in the very near future UDP/DHT will be implemted (cant wait to retire my old bt clients )What happens if I use uTorrent without opening a port ?You will be basically making yourself a slow leecher unless you connect to all seeds. with bt, generally the faster you can ul the faster you can dl.What should I adjust un the uTorrent Configuration Settings ?That depends on your rig setup, there are several threads on this in the forum. use the search function, use settings as a keyword Hope this helps.

chaosblade Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 With the settings posted here you should be good to go. use grc.com/x/portprobe=<port number here> to check if that port is open and ready for some hardcore BT pleasure By the way, Correct me if im wrong BlackLion: DHT has nothing to do with UDP at all.

BlackLion Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 By the way, Correct me if im wrong BlackLion: DHT has nothing to do with UDP at all.Sorry for the confusion, i wasnt implying that they were, they are just the features that im looking for, both of them, and I just lumped them togehter. Excuse me if my writing style is coufusing at times. (hence the comment afterward about retiring my old bt clients). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
