GUIDE: Max Out Download Speed Using Utorrent

Okay cool thanx, also I’m considering to change my ip to a static to benefit my downloading, do u recommend this, i.e. is it worth it? Does it help?

 

this is just a tip for people that have rogers and other isp's that block torrents. Don't dl stuff during the weakend because that's when rogers really throttles your downloads. On friday night i was going pretty fast but over the weakend it's gained like 1%. The best times are weakdays; usually early morning or late night.

 

hello to all. i have cupl questions. how can u tell or find out is ur isp throttles your downloads. I mean i think if i call them and ask i'll probably throw red flags! i'm not sure though. and, do u think the program peer guardian is enough to hide urself or is there another one out better than this? should i use this with another? thanx

 

if you wanna find out if you're isp blocks torrents then go to http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Bad_ISPs, oh and im trying to find the answer to your other question my self but truly speaking if your isp is bad your pretty screwed no matter what you try; lol trust me

 

oh sorry i mean go to http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Bad_ISPs
ps. how do you edit your posts again because i forgot, thxs

 

I think your friends are using Bell DSL and not cable

VERY TRUE!

 

just wanna know which one is better. Webstar cable modem or Rogers cable modem?

 

theres a difference, i thought they were the same because i have rogers extreme but my modem says webstar... not quite sure

 

lol well it is all about routers, isps and port forwarding and all that jazz

 

omg what's wrong now!!! im downloading a torrent and it's not gaining any %. It got to about 93.5% and it still is saying that's it's going at about 0-2kb/s but it's not gaining anything. Before it was atleast moving. I know my isp blocks torrents but its never been this bad. I've tried to download other torrents but they all have a red arrow and don't start; something to do with availability or something. Can some1 help me out!@!!!!

 

how big is the file that u are downloading?

 

When you download files from public sites, ensure they have completed because the MPAA have crews working full time uploading files that will download to around 90% but never complete. Not sure on your other issue but I would assume their connected.

 

Hey guys i really need some help i tweaked my settings with drtcp i did a speed test the results Download Speed: 9815 kbps Upload Speed: 489 kbps.
I'm really confused how to set up utorrent long time ago i reached a speed of 520kb/s and i never got that high again right now i am seeing 230kb/s Seeds 12(30) Peers 42(238)am i doing something wrong?I read the guide but still confused your help would be greatly appreciated.

 

whoa, 200+ dl speed with only 12 seeds? That's pretty fine with me

 

lol yea that is seriously fast. I scratched the download i was working on and im downloading something new now; same thing but different tracker and torrent. Im also using azurues because for some reason utorrent isn't downloading for me. When i open a torrent the arrow turns red. Any ways i have about 55-70 seeds and im going farely fast for my standerds, 25-80kb/s. I guess that torrent was just slow. Oh and im just gonna ask a question: Is vista good and worth the money?

 

Ok so to get the max upload speed i need to divide 489kbps/8=61.1 then multiply 61.1*.8=41 i just did a torrent test to max my download speed and was reaching around 740kb/s is that my speed limit.

 

740KB/S. Wow what isp do you have? that's unbeleavably fast. My direct downloads dont' even go that fast.
