Firstly uTorrentis my current fav torrent download software. Its the best software in
smallest package.
Download: hxtp://download.utorrent.com/1.7.5/utorrent.exe (214kb)
After trying out many different settings I am just sharing my best configuration for
utorrent. Obviously your best config may be different because of your network and
hardware etc.
Coming stratight to the point, I have 450kb/s download with 100kb/s upload. You can
check your speed from http://www.speedtest.net/ and make settings accordingly.
Options>Preferences:
Global maximum upload rate (kB/s) = 10
v Allow incoming legacy connections
Global maximum number of connections = 128 (If you don't have bandwidth then more
connections dont mean more speed)
Maximum number of connected peers per torrent = 16
Number of upload slots per torrent = 2
v Use additional upload slots if upload speed <>
v Enable DHT Network
v Enable DHT for new torrents
v Enable Peer Exchange
v Enable scraping
v Pre-allocate all files
Advanced Settings:
peer.lazy_bitfield = *true
net.max_halfopen = *40
peer.disconnect_inactive_interval = *600
diskio.write_queue_size = *2560
diskio.read_cache_size = *2560
I have doubled my speed after these settings. And please note that there is a 8fold
difference in kilobit and kilobyte.(1kilobyte = 8 kilobits).It took me a while to
understand the best settings so I am sharing with you. A well seeded torrent will
download at speed of 18.
SHORT NOTE: Seeders are people who have already downloaded the file and peers are
number of people who are currently downloading the file. You should have more seeders
for good speed.
