Falcon87 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Hello I am wanting to know if there are settings which can increase the speed of my downloads? I am using utorrent 2.0.1 beta but for some reason when downloading large files it barely gets above 4-5kbs which is ridiculous.Any questions just ask.

Switeck Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Yes there are, but settings need to be tailored for your connection's capabilities.One size does not fit all!So please describe in more detail your connection... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Tell me more about the speed of your connection.uTorrent is configured almost entirely based on max sustainable UPLOAD speed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon87 Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 http://www.speedtest.net/result/736883375.pngThis is what i just got from speed test. does this help? iv got sky unlimited broadband package. Dont really know what else to tell you about the speed of my connection, or do you know a way i can check? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Got a webpage that describes the service plan?...Because your speed test suggests unusually slow upload relative the max download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 That wireless plan says "Up to 1.3Mb upload speeds"...you're getting 0.74 mbit/sec, barely more than half that. Is that because you used a distant server to do a speed test? (England to Paris?)"I have a wireless desktop connected to a belkin n+ router"Wireless utterly kills BitTorrent if there's much wireless noise.Even if not, wireless seems to not handle lots of peer/seed connections at once that wired has no problems with. Sadly, this means you probably will need to set uTorrent's global max connections and per-torrent max connections below 100, maybe even below 60.Otherwise, I would suggest using 768 kbit/sec upload settings from 2nd link in my signature.

Falcon87 Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Yea i tried several different countries and locations with speed test and they all came back with about the same results so im currently rocking your 768 settings and shall see if that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
