alextwilson Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Hi there. Nice little forum you have.I have a BT Homehub (firewall disabled), speedtest ran6230 kbps download260 kbps uploadTorrent I'm trying is about 7gb big, generally was uploading about 50 kb/s but only downloading at 20-40 kb/s or so whilst connecting to around 50 out of 120 seeds.I'm honestly REALLY retarded with torrents but I'm pretty sure I should be going much much faster. What are the proper settings I should have for the 'number of connections' and upload rate? I looked at that guide and got really confusedIncoming port is 45682 UpNp/NAT-PMP/Windows firewall exception are ticked.Both DHT/LPD are ticked.Number of active downloads/torrents; 60 and 63net.max.halfopen is at 6If you could help me sort this out and get my settings right it would be VERY much appreciated. I don't know how on Earth this works.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 You can't upload 50 on a .25 Mbit line. Going to the speed tab, how fast are you able to upload consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alextwilson Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Does this help? Say's Im averaging about 28 kb/s in the bit below though.Sorry if this is all sounding so retarded, I generally try work it out but I'm really clueless.

Firon Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Choose xx/256k from the Speed Guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alextwilson Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I've done that, tested it and it's gone up to about 30/40kbs but just rocketed back down below 5?!?! What else do I need to try in the settings to get it where it should be?!Any way I can latch onto more of those seeds?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 THat's not an amazingly well seeded torrent, though you should still be able to connect to more than just 23 peers total...Do you have a software firewall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alextwilson Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I have a BT Firewall that's disabled?Gone up to about 80 kb/s but still need more out of it, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 2nd link in my signature....and don't trust the YouTube uTorrent speedup videos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alextwilson Posted December 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Followed that in relation to the poster above, followed the 256k settings? Still staying at around 30-40Resolve IP is also disabled, tried switching between Forced and Enabled for the other one, never seen a noticable difference.

Switeck Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 You will likely need to try 'extreme' hiding tricks to get better speeds:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=361747#p361747(Note: My post immediately following that one explains what settings in uTorrent are similar to the Azureus ones.)

alextwilson Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Followed this instructions I thinkDHT is disabled. Firewall is on. Protocol Encryption is forced, legacy connections unchecked. net.max.halfopen is set to 4. Pretty much only getting between 20-40 kB/s still.

Switeck Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 The extreme instructions are more complex than that. Such as running in firewalled mode, removing tracker URLs from the torrent, and manually adding ip+port addresses. ...even alternating with net.max_halfopen set to 0 and 1-8.Lastly, you might need to test running through a proxy or VPN.Unfortunately, BT Central may just be throttling EVERYTHING that's encrypted.
