Hyosung Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Dear Readers, Sorry if I posted this in the wrong Forum... But I was just curious if this Video is reliable at all...http://youtube.com/watch?v=NVq2GkzNrY8Quite some views on it and the values used seem really high... NOt only that a LOT of the Advanced options have been modified... Just thought I'd share that and see what others have to say about it... =X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Compare that to the 2nd link in my signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyosung Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Haha I know, as I am following your 2nd link, that's how i have my settings.Sorry I got bored and it happened to appear as one of the recommendations so I gave it a watch to see how outrageous it was.

DreadWingKnight Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Youtube videos for setting changes == autofail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyosung Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I figured. As their settings always seem exaggerated. And for the Advanced Settings, heck I don't even know what most of them do, so I don't touch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Good, that's the way it should be Youtube videos for setting changes == autofail.Quoted for absolute truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I checked out a couple of the videos...seems many of them are reading from the same bad material. 1800 connections PER TORRENT, 2300 connections global?!About the lowest suggested half open value was 50...one was 500.Upload speeds across the board, though 65 KiloBYTES/second was common...as though everyone could upload that fast (or slow).Tempting to add to do not connect to service port: 50 and 45682Such stupidity should not be rewarded. I don't even know what a couple advanced settings are...and I feel no need to mess with them.A couple others that I do mess with, I tend to go the opposite direction of everyone else.Sometimes, I even run with half open set to 0. This means ZERO, not 'unlimited'. I still get incoming connections...these don't count against my half open limit.Once you're already connected to probably everyone that's not firewalled, why continue retrying the same dead and firewalled connections over and over again at whatever your current half open rate is? If they want to connect, they can connect to you. You can't speed that up with a high half open limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
