bodean Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 Why not leave the download speed set to 0, unlimited? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted April 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 You can do that, if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazyba5tard Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 1c3? I'm a n00b on utorrent and was wondering if you could just type a list of stuff to change in the options. The TCP patch is set to 50, I used the booster you posted. All that gave me is a 10k jump start. I run a cable connection, can you help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansuitdronten Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 I know, I have little understanding of mu-torrent. My speed is very low and I cannot change that. The average downloadspeed comes not higher than 10 kB/s. So a movie with 4.5 GB load can only be downloaded in a week. That is too long for me. Who can give me some advice?

µtorrent-Guest Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Who can give me some advice?Follow the settings that the speed guide CTRL+G are saying is good for your UPloadspeed.If everything with your networksettings is okay (e.g. Green ball at the bottom) than u can do nothing bout the speed. your Dl speed depends tehn on the swarm. When u have a swarm where no fast seeder is in it nothing you can do bout that.For speed testing purposes try a DL from legaltorrents.com. They have a high speed peer conected to internet backbone in de nederlands. If everthing is okay with your settings this peer will max out your DL capabilities for shure!

hansuitdronten Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Thank you for your advice. I will inmediately try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansuitdronten Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I think the problem is in the network connection.The ball is yellow. I cannot turn him into green. Can you give me further advice? Your english is understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Press Ctrl G and test your port to see if it's open.If it's not open, then uninstall any firewall you may have, turn off any of your anti-virus internet security features, and make sure you've forwarded your port in the router.

hansuitdronten Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I made the changes that you proposed. Only the red ball remains yellow or red. I did not understand why I should look at the rules. But,the working of this forum is yet not clear to me. Why,for ,instance should I use the quote option?In any way,thanks for your help!Hans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 that's my sig, and the quote thing is to quote earlier posts when responding to them (but not one directly before yours).And if you have a red ball, then you might have a firewall or something blocking µTorrent.

hansuitdronten Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Can anyone tell me (with much knowledge of mu-torrent) how log it takes (average!) before a person can download a movie with a length of 4.5 Gb? What is a reasonable time for that download?hansuitdronten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 There is no average and/or reasonable time, it's all relative to your connection speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandy321 Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 HI,My connection speed is 10MB Down and 1MB Up.Previously, when I uses UT, I can see DL of up to 600kB/s but recently, after I reformatted my windows, the max i get is 160kB/s.I tried your guide and did everything as you suggested. The only problem I face now is....the calculation.I would appreciate if you could help me further and give me a more specific figure for my configuration.Lastly, I am using the Geforce 6600GT. I visited the site you recommended but am unable to look for the firewall section of my video card settings/properties.I guess after rectifying these 2 issues, I should be a very happy guy - the same as fellow utorrentians.Thank you in advance.

chickenhead Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Just wanted to say many, many thanks for this guide. I just started using utorrent after having it recommended to me by a freind, and wasn't very impressed as I could onlky get max speeds of about 4kb/s however many seeds & peers there were! Followed the guide step-by-step and I'm now downloading at 50kb/s!!!Thanks again for this excellent guide!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 @Pandy321: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=167260#p167260And I'm not sure what you mean by firewall section of your video card settings. Why would your video card include a firewall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandy321 Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I went into a link provided by the guide and it says that there is in-built firewall in video cards, i searched but there's nothing.Last time, when I was using ut1400, I can achieve dl speed up to 600kB/s but now with ut1500, you can tell that u are losing bandwidth compared to other leechers. So I followed the guide, expecting to settle my speed problem but to no avail, my dl speeds is always at 140-150kB/s even on a torrent with 300++ seeders.I am running on Windows XP SP2 with 1 Gigs of ram space.My anti-virus system is NOD32 and Mcafee Anti-Spyware.My ut status is always green.My video card is Geforce 6600GT.My internet connection is 10MB Down and 1MB Up.I have patch everything that this guide had suggested.Only thing i did not do is the Bios Update cos I can get the latest drivers - it says I have the latest installed already.

Ultima Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 What about firewall? If you have NVIDIA firewall (meaning you have an nForce-based motherboard), that could be your problem, as NVIDIA Firewall is known to be very buggy.Try running the Speed Guide instead, and see if that helps.

llanman Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Please can someone help me as I'm a complete newbie. I've tried to follow all the suggestions in this post despite it going over my head on numerous occasions. I now erattically get a green DHT (although it is red at the moment) and I'm still uploading considerably faster than I am downloading. I thought it' supposed to be the other way around!!!!!!Please can someone help me in PLAIN ENGLISH!??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexcooper Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Thanks 1c3d0g for this guide. I just found another speed guide. Take a look at it too-http://www.johntp.com/2006/04/19/how-to-increase-download-speeds-of-utorrent/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 250 connections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffen Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 The suggestion to use TCP Optimizer might not speed up torrents as the setting changed (TCP Receive Window) applies per connection basis only and most peers do not upload fast enough for the default setting to be an issue. Increasing RWIN unnecessarily leads only to additional memory use by the TCP stack (example: 500k RWIN x 100 peer connections = 50 MB ram used for RWIN buffers). Thus it is important to use conservative peer connection limits when using large RWIN.Although I don't fully understand this can you explain further and advise on the best 'conservative' setting...
