Firon Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 300's a bit high for an 8mbit connection. You should have 150 really. However, for this guy with 100mbit, 300 is probably too little Try 500 or 600 connections per torrent. Set the upload slots to 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayers Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Firon, care to make a table with recommended settings for several speeds and put it in your wiki? @oRth: OMG OMG OMG How I envy your connection... This even beats the Swedes! Hey stefan, you're small fish!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pwnage Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 make everything 1000, it was designed to give you extra speed at those settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oRth Posted November 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 hmm ok but 1000? Isn't there a limit in XP SP2? I've patched it to 50 and doesn't that mean that I can only have 50 connections to my comp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miffo Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 @oRth: OMG OMG OMG How I envy your connection... This even beats the Swedes! Hey stefan, you're small fish!! Actually, a Swedish isp recently upped its customers from 10/10 to 100/10, same price.Yes, that Mbits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiteShdw Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 For the max connections, you'll need to go into the Advanced Settings and set the max_halfopen to something like 45 or 48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've patched it to 50 and doesn't that mean that I can only have 50 connections to my comp?No, this only means that you can make 50 connection -attempts- at any moment.Set net.max_halfopen to 40-45 and you'll be fine. It has nothing to do with concurrent (total) connections.Firon, care to make a table with recommended settings for several speeds and put it in your wiki? I'll consider it. Though I think DWKnight might not like it, he recommends not going over 100 (sometimes even 50) for almost all residential connections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oRth Posted November 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Thanks for your replys but nothing helps.. I'll stick to BitComet for some time longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ares Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Are you sure it's not the torrents you're using? Try downloading a Linux distro and checking your speed with that. They're usually very well seeded.http://us.releases.ubuntu.com/releases/5.10/ubuntu-5.10-live-i386.iso.torrent-Ares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdArmor Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 or OpenOffice that has always been well seeded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
