UKTorrenter Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Hey, I'm with Virgin Media, and I ran a speed test.Im around 50 miles from the nearest internet server. (maidenhead)Speed test Results:D/L speed: 1956 kbpsUpload Speed: 190 kbpsISP: Virgin MediaPing: 11 msSo, I'm pretty newby when it comes to torrents, and Im trying to download a certain torrent that has a file size of around 8gigs. The most I'm reaching is 32 kB/sis there any way I can speed it up?Note: I dont think I have a firewall, and if I do, it's a windows firewall.

Switeck Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Are you uploading at least 80% as fast as you're downloading?...Try the 1st and 2nd links in my signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Disable in uTorrent: DHT, LPD, UPnP, NAT-PMP, and resolve IPs.Set outgoing encryption to Enabled or FORCED.Test both enabled and disabled incoming legacy connections to see which is best.In advanced settings, set net.max_halfopen to 4 if it was previously 8...or back to 8 if you raised it higher.2nd link in my signature - 192 kilobits/second upload speed settings for the rest of uTorrent's settings. If you want to allow 2 downloading torrents at once, that's ok...but each one may be slower than just 1 at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKTorrenter Posted December 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 where do I find those things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 DHT, LPD, and encryption are on the BitTorrent menu.UPnP, NAT-PMP are on the Connection menu."In advanced settings, set net.max_halfopen"Resolve IPs is set by right-clicking in the PEERS window of an active torrent.

UKTorrenter Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Done it all. So, may I ask what this will do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 In a nutshell, tries to hide from the sensors your ISP uses to detect and disrupt BitTorrent traffic.And lastly to not try to upload faster than your connection will bear, as doing so has nasty consequences even if there is no BitTorrent disruption done by your ISP.
