TheSacredSoul Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Hey guys. I would just like to know the optimal settings for my Utorrent. According to speedtest.net, my DL speed is 2979kbps and UL is 345kbps.Here are my current uTorrent settings:Max DL speed: 310kBpsMax UL speed: 30kBpsGlobal Max Number of Connections: 500Max number of connected peers per torrent: 300Number of Upload Slot per torrent: 4Protocol Encrytion: Enabled ( Allowed incoming legacy connections )TCPIP patched to 100My system is Windows XP, 1.83GHz ( Dual Core ), 2GB RAM. I am running the latest Utorrent beta/ I know the Globax Max No. is a little high. Can anyone suggest the best setting for my system to achieve optimum speeds. Thanks!PS. Btw, whats Limit Local Peer Bandwidth under Preferences--> BitTorrent? Mine is unchecked. Should I check it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5618 Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Your settings seem ok. You could maybe lower the connections per torrent a bit. And don't run/upload more than 2-3 torrents at a time. You can also follow the Speed Guide (Ctrl+G)Enable Local Peer Discovery allows µTorrent to attempt to determine whether a peer is on the same LAN as the computer it is running on. If so, then transfer rates will not be limited for that peer.Taken from: http://www.utorrent-deutsch.de/downloads/utorrent.chm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSacredSoul Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Ok thanks for your reply. I am not on LAN so I think I do not need to enable it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Do you really need the 300-500 connections you allow µTorrent to get 310 KiloBYTES/sec max download speed? (That's less than 1 connection per 1 KiloBYTE/sec.) You're probably not uploading to nearly that many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSacredSoul Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Oh ok. Now Ive got a new problem. I can only download 1 torrent at a time... The seeds for the other torrents show 0 no matter how many seeds there are. My torrent settings all 5 torrent at any one time. This is happening on both RC5 and RC6. I just formatted my laptop and downloaded utorrent. Having this problem from then. How can i fix this?EDIT: Yep, I am downloading a torrent with over 2k seeds and 3k peers, but uTorrent is showing 0(0) seeds and 0(410) peers. I notice it take abt 15 mins to start ( every torrent except the first one ). Is there any solution for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Did you make sure your per-torrent max connections is (considerably?) below your global max?If not, the 1st torrent that comes along may tie up all your allowed connections -- causing the other torrents to do nothing.

Ultima Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Why aren't you sticking to the Speed Guide's settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSacredSoul Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 sorry i am little noob with the Speed Guide. Till today, I have no idea that to choose in the speed guide. Can you advice me thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 >_>The instructions are quite explicitly stated in the Speed Guide: just select the upload rate closest to your tested upload rate. In your case, you should be selecting xx/384k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
