weeesy Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 are you confusing upload and download speeds, the speed guide asks for your upload speed which is usually slower than download speed. Do a speed test for upload speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICleolion Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Enable, it will make things simpler for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 And make sure you use beta 405 (on the download page) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Lowering your upload slots to only 2-4 total (either 1-2 if you're doing 2 torrents at once, or 2-3 if you're doing 1 torrent at a time) might also help your download speeds.There seems little point in making lots of connections with your connection. Even 60 max and 30 per torrent is probably overkill.If you do manual port-forwarding in your router, UPnP should be disabled. Manual port-forwarding almost always outperforms UPnP in terms of download/upload speeds in µTorrent. It also lowers how much your CPU has to do.

cjard Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 ps; "uploading:downloading ratio of 2:1 or more is that fair," you ask.....depends how much you believe in give and take.. i know a guy who uses torrent to be a giver.. so far in life he has uploaded over 2 terabytes, and downloaded about 50 megabytes.. that would give him a ratio to 40,000:1 and youre wondering if 2:1 is fair. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 It sounds like your connection is 256/64 (in kBits). In that case, try capping the upload to 5-6kB/s and see how it behaves. Also set global connection per torrent to something like 30-50 and max connections to a 100 or so.As for fair.. You'd be doing good 'just' seeding back a single full copy (1:1 ratio), But might want to seed more depending on your feeling and choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp1zy Posted January 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 now i am a bit confused about upnp in the router... one guy said enable it and the other said disable it.. and both of them sounded logical... can i have a 3d openion?? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp1zy Posted January 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 And make sure you use beta 405 (on the download page)i can only find the 406 beta in the download page is that ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Yes, the latest beta is the one that needs the most testing...however this particular beta is probably more stable than v1.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Yeah, beta 406 is newer, go ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 about upnp in the router... one guy said enable it and the other said disable it..My disable UPnP suggestion is conditional -- IF you do manual port-forwarding on you router, then you don't need UPnP (which does that automatically for a performance/stability cost).Going here can tell you how to manually port-forward your router:http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp1zy Posted January 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 yes i did set up the port manualy like it shows on port fow web..in that case i disabeld upnp.. thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peakshysteria Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 And make sure you use beta 405 (on the download page)i can only find the 406 beta in the download page is that ok?Remember that many private sites ban older clients and Beta versions. Meaning you should use only vers.1400. If you're using dump trackers theres usually no problem with Beta clients........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Haven't seen any site that's doing it, apart from Bitmetv, which has now unbanned the betas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
