Jimg Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Like you, I have just discovered utorrent.Perhaps you can give help as to how you achieved such speeds. I have searched the FAQ repeatedly.The Portforwarding page refers to a PeerGuardian2. Where is this, and something they call Protowall ?How is the "connection type" etc determined? I connect with DSL and behind a firewall.Any help greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrero Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 you should use the speed guide (ctrl+g) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickv1980 Posted February 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 its not easy when u dont know what your doing and can be frustrating too!! buddy there is quite alot involved in setting static ips and mac address , dns servers , port forwarding firewall reconfig bla bla .......etc etc the list goes on but i knew nothing once apon a time too, i found this site very helpfull and alot of the setup procedures have been covered and disscused many times on here even though they all differ from pc to pc the whole concept is basicaly the same in most cases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Not sure about MAC addresses, but the relevant things you need to modify are described in the setup guide, including the "connection type." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torrero Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 He said hes on a 8mbit line. Most european countries offer 16mbit lines for a small bucks. So nothing special, imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurahashi Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 256kB/s = 2Mbit, I really don't know what this fuss is about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I got over 300kb but that's combine with 5-10 dls at once : Daverage 30-59Kb per torrent. how about yall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmax Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I already reached about 2,2MBytes/sec, with 2-3 torrents at the same time. I have a 20Mbit line though, so these speeds are my physical maximum.One tip, do the tcp/ip hack(EvID4226Patch) and use TCP optimizer, and switch encryption to enabled in bittorrent(Preferences -> bittorrent tab) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dig62 Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hi all,I'm extremely happy with the download speeds I'm getting from uTorrent: Up to 86kB/sec with an average of 65kB/sec. This is on a 768/128 adsl line with a 90kB/sec download cap, so I'm literally hitting my head on the ceiling here. Thanks for a great program!http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g256/tcxl/uTorrent.jpgDig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Condor,Your average settings almost look like you try pretty hard to download a LOT more than you upload!You stop most of your torrents when you finish downloading them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon4 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Yeah... those are pretty nasty. Even my 386 has done better than that...(I would have had it running longer than that, except that the computer keeps locking up. I don't know what the deal is there. It's not crashing, it's just locking up. Probably dying hardware...)Download speed is not what matters in a torrent... downloading can WAIT! It's uploading that's my biggest goal... most of my torrents have over a "10" ratio. Oh, and my speeds are usually between 200 and 300. On a 3mb line, that's kinda nice, seeing as though I never get those speeds through HTTP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 thanks Falcon4 : )you're those people I wish to thanks and wish out there would be more like you. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon4 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 We do it in the hopes that more people will learn to leave their clients running 24/7 as well. A connection running, with no blinky on the lights, is a sad connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbieland Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Excellent speeds, but not really....I'm downloading at aprox.760-770 kb/s both up and down, but I have a 6mbit fiberoptic line.. Is it some limitations within the different bittorrent clients which makes impossible for me to exceed these speeds? I'm currently using uTorrent, and i'm extremely satisfied with it, but I have had the same problems other clients.. :/I will be grateful for ANY help here, because I would like to use much more of my bandwidth!TJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon4 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 mbit = megabit, not megabyteuTorrent measures in bytes, not bits. There are 8 bits in a byte, so... when you're getting 770kb/s, you're doing 6,160kbps (aka 6.1mbps). Be happy. You are getting UBER FUCKING SPEEDS.Unless of course you ARE talking about kilobits...edit: The way to tell the difference between someone talking about bits and bytes is if someone puts the "p" in "ps" instead of "/s" - generally. It's kind of an unofficial way to show the difference. "kbps" is kilobits, "kb/s" is kilobytes. I think a more official way to denote it is to uppercase KB/s in kilobytes, and lowercase kbps for kilobits. Either way you'll usually never see people deliberately swapping these around when they know what they're talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superme247 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Hey Ultima Thanxs Very Much For The Info...i Really Appreciate It.now My Torrent Is Workin Again.all I Have To Know Is To Make The Dl Faster...Thankx A Bunch ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbieland Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 If it's bytes or bits i'm not quite sure, but I've tried to send the same, let's say shows, to my mate, and he has the same connection that I have, and it flies to him in 1/10 of the time.. So I would say that I'm not wrong in this instance, but I'm also the noob who doesn't know anything about this.. I know it takes me close to an hour to download a 700mb file, and it takes me maybe 10 minutes to send it to my mate...Do you have any explanation for that?TJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbieland Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Downloadspeed:5 565 kbit/s(2 000 000 bytes på 2,875 sek)Does that give you an answer?TJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 700 MB in 10 minutes?You'd need at least 10 megabits/sec upload bandwidth to upload that fast....yet you already stated your tested download speed was barely half that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbieland Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I might jinx with the time at that one.. But this means that if i'm downloading at 760-770 kb/s i'm utilizing my entire bandwith, if I have 6mbit?just to get things straight...TJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurahashi Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Just to get things straight - have you already learn how to write computer units abbreviations properly or still not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
