oddmanoutgt Posted November 27, 2007 Report Posted November 27, 2007 Hello! I was wondering if any of U could help me with the configuration of my settings to see if I can improve my download speeds. I can only download one file at a time and I have to wait until the file is completely downloaded before I can leave my other files seeding otherwise the connection gets chocked. My top down speed is 33 kB/s (and that only happens every other blue moon and for like only 7 sec). My average down speed is 5.1 kB/s (pathetic, I know). The torrents that I download aren't the most popular but they have pretty good seeds. My high torrents have 65 peers out of 180 connected in a swarm of 75, with 60 seeders out of 114 connected in a swarm of 72. My low torrents have 1 seeder out of 2 connecter in a swarm of 2, with 1 peer out of 2 connected in a swarm of 2. Even though I can only seed after I download a file, while I am downloading a file a get share ratios of 2.998 before I even have 20% of the file downloaded. Small files of 116 MB takes me about 18 hours to download and I have only downloaded 1 file of 1.63 GB and it took me 4 days to download.Ok, here is how I have my settings:* I tested my connection speed 10 times and it averaged: 627.3 kbps (78.4 kB/s) for download and 685.1 kbps (85.6 kB/s) for upload (I've tested it other times and sometimes it averages higher but this is the most recent)* OS: Windows XP Pentium 4 3.0 GHz 512 RAM 80 GB HD Windows firewall (utorrent in exceptions list) Norton Internet securit firewall (utorrent in exceptions list) Router: Zenith HomeWorks Universal* Bandwidth allocation High Download limit: 40 Upload limit: 15* Speed guide: connection type: xx/640k current port: 39235 (I tested the port and it says it's not forwarding)(I also have a lil yellow triangle in the status bar) Enable encrytion: CHECKED* Preferences General Check for updates automatically: CHECKED Confirm when deleting torrents: CHECKED Show confirmation dialog on exit: CHECKED Close to tray: CHECKED Always show tray icon: CHECKED Show balloon notification on tray: CHECKED Minimize to tray: CHECKED Single click on tray to open: CHECKED Always activate when clicked: CHECKED Show graphical progress bar: CHECKED Alternate list background color: UNCHECKED Show current speed in title bar: UNCHECKED Show speed limits in the status bar: UNCHECKED Check association on startup: UNCHECKED Start utorrent on system start up: UNCHECKED Downloads Put new downloads in: UNCHECKED Move completed downloads to: UNCHECKED Don't start the download automatically: UNCHECKED Activate the program window: CHECKED Show window to display files inside the torrent: CHECKED Append .!ut to incomplete files: UNCHECKED Pre allocate all files: UNCHECKED Prevente standby if there are active torrents: CHECKED Connection Port used for incoming connections 39235 Randomize port: UNCHECKED Enable UPnP: UNCHECKED Enable NAT-PMP: UNCHECKED Add utorrent to Windows firewall exceptions: CHECKED Type: none Maximum upload rate: 60 Automatic: UNCHECKED Alternate upload rate when not downloading: UNCHECKED Maximum download rate: 0 BitTorrent Global maximum number of connections: 375 Maximum number of peers connected per torrent: 100 Number of upload slots per torrent: 4 Use aditional upload slots if upload speed < 90%: CHECKED Enable DHT network: CHECKED Ask tracker for scrape info: CHECKED Enale DHT for new torrents: CHECKED Enable peer exchange: CHECKED Enable local peer discovery: CHECKED Limit local peer bandwidth: UNCHECKED Outgoing: Enable Allow incoming legacy connections: CHECKED Queueing Maximum number of active torrents: 4 Maximum number of active downloads: 3 Ratio is <=: 150 % or seeding time is: ignore Seeding tasks have higher priority: UNCHECKED Limit the upload rate to: UNCHECKED Scheduler Enable: UNCHECKED Other Allow utorrent to send anonymus number when checking new version: CHECKED (Only this one is CHECKED the others are not) Advanced (it has all the default settings)PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!!!!!! I'm a rookie when it comes to torrents. Please show me the ways of the torrent masters so that I too can enjoy high download speeds. I will be eternaly grateful to you. Thanx for ur time, later days and happy downloads.
