Help with some Settings...

[Duckmanfoo]

I'm sure this topic has beaten to death but I have been searching with no luck to find a bullet proof set of instructions to set things up.

I had u Torrent 2.03 set up great!!! I had my port opened up and was getting downloads of up to 1.5MB/sec but one day I started noticing I couldn't surf the web and download at the same time.

Checked on the port and it wasn't opened. Strange?

So, I started monkey fucking around, got the port opened but my downloads are shit now.

I went nuts and checked this, unchecked that, changed that value and on and on....

I googled many posts on the web and tried to figure things out, then I noticed this forum.

I am looking for the settings to get me back on track!!!

PLEASE and THANK YOU for all your help!!!!

I downloaded the beta program.2.2 / Win 7 64bit

Bell Canada Test

download 13,460

upload 730

What about these TCP patches? Are they a must have???

Thanks again!!!!!!!!!

There is no "TCP patches" for Windows 7 64bit, nor does it need them.

You're probably dealing with bad networking somewhere at your place -- be it wireless link, modem, router, software firewall, or drivers.

Windows 7 Doesn't need the TCP patches, it's already set up good.

As for your settings

Ctrl + G to open the speed guide

Try the 640kbps drop-down, See how that works. It's a little low for your connection but it shouldn't put strain on anything.

My speed test with Bell vs. the U Torrent Set up Guide vary quite a bit.

Bell

down 13 460

up 730

Set Up Guide

down 262

up 367

dsl report.com

down 6675

up 690

which do i trust????

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bell throttles P2P traffic Heavily, that's why the setup guide is so low. It's the one that's gonna matter here.

This link may help a bit. (it's from switeck's sig)

You're variances are quite allarming though between Bell and DSLReport

DSL report is almost certainly your best possible numbers, yet bell seems to claim much higher speeds (obviously not attainable based on the DSLReport numbers)

[Switeck]

My bad, I missed where you mentioned being on Bell Canada (Sympatico) ADSL ISP.

They are one of the very worst for disrupting and throttling far more than BitTorrent.

Hey Moderator guys thanks for your help!!

I understand the throttling stuff now, thanks for the update!

I'm looking for a link or guide to entering the proper settings to plug into U Torrent "Options / Preferences" for Win 7 - 64bit.

As I mentioned up above, my download and upload speeds were great and my program was working fine until I did some networking to add wi-fi and a laptop to my modem. That's when I screwed up my modem settings then I started adjusting and tweaking everything a dug a deeper hole

Modem is straight and ports are opened now!!! I just want to know the correct settings to plug into U Torrent.

Is there a link or page you can direct me to to get me up and running!?

THANKS BOYS!!!

Duckmanfoo, "best" uTorrent settings depend extremely heavily on how fast your stable upload speed max is. (2nd link in my signature!)

You might also need to do 1st and 3rd links in my signature if your networking or ISP is bad.

[Duckmanfoo]

So running U torrent's "setup Guide" is always the best way to initially get the program working??

[Switeck]

I wouldn't trust the setup guide's speed estimates, but choosing speeds from it woks ok...just go by speed results from speedguide.net instead.

[Duckmanfoo]

Thanks for your patience and tutoring!!!

Live long and prosper!!!

Until my next question,

D

[Duckmanfoo]

net tcp port sharing service is turned off in my task manager / services.

should this be on or off for max performance with U Torrent??

Thanks

That sounds like something that's only part of Windows 7.

If uTorrent works without it, leave it off.
