GUIDE: Max Out Download Speed Using Utorrent

Hey guys i just used a test downloading torrent and i hit a wall of
1.1 MB/s is that my limit i am stunned right now i never seen this type of speed downloading torrents.

 

@DVDBack23, what a bastard! lol... Right now, my download icon also turns red and says that my router is blocking the speed. But I know that its gonna go back to green cuz once in a while, it happens.

 

made a thread here: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/474395

don't want to clutter up this thread more by posting all of my stuff in here.. and since I already made a post about.

if you could take a look @ DVDBack23

please and thanks.

 

hey DVDback23, I dl a program called peerguardian2. Is it any help with my dl speed? Does it block Utorrent? Tell me if this program is worth it or not. Thanks!

 

lol i tried it and it didn't do anything? do i just leave it on as it picks up ip's?

 

so it works right? Anyway, dvd, I wanna know the settings u did for the peerguardian2. I blocked any spyware/adware and as well the http.

What's the best setting to do for dl torrents when using peerguardian?

 

Ok, so I've checked the site that u gave me concerning on peerguardian and it did not help me. Or so I think. Just a quick note, can u check this pic and tell me if this setting for peerguardian is alright.



Or at least tell me that this setting works best for Utorrent.

 

Argh! I don't usually get mad or anything but today, my UTorrent is hella weird! just check out the pic!



Am addressing this because its already been an hour when I started downloading this file and look where Am still at. Am talking about the file that I dl every week. Which usually only takes me about half an hour (30mins 170mb) to finish. And remember that I was having 80-90kbps average dl speed for a couple of months now?

WHAT IS UP WITH THIS???

*oh, and in case you're wondering about the red icon, it sometimes does that for no reason. I already followed dvd's guide and the icon was green last week.

And another weird thing is that the upload speed is at its max.

 

Hey guys, here is my problem.. I have a 4mb/s cable connection that works fine with µtorrent (I usually get 430~480kb/s down speed with good torrents), but my upload speed is really slow in private trackers.

I followed your guide and those 'speed test' sites don't seem to get good results for me (up speeds from 130 to 600 kb/s , maybe because I'm in Brazil) so I just started seeding an EZTV torrent and left my upload speed unlimited to see how fast it would get (btw, is this correct?) , and after 15 minutes I had a steady 70kb/s upload. Assuming that is my max up speed, I multiplied 70*0,8=56 and set my global max upload rate to this value.

When seeding public torrents my up speed is always close or equal to those 56kb/s but in Demonoid (and other private trackers) I usually upload at 25kb/s or less and it really annoys me because I have to leave µtorrent opened all night to get good ratios. And this happens even when there are few seeds (like 10 or less).

Any ideas?
Thanks and sorry for my bad english

 

Im just wondering if someone can help me out with something! My internet connection is rated at 8000/384. Im a bit confused with the differences between kbs and kBs. When Im downloading with utorrent, i get an average of about 70 kBs. After checking on google the conversion this should work out at 560 kbs , which is what most people on here seem to be quoting as their download speeds. Can someone tell me if this is correct and if this is a good speed or if I am wrong. My download speed with utorrent is represented by approx 70kBs or is this my actual speed which seems very low!!!. I have set everything up as per the guide, have forwarded my ports correctly, have got good reports from the tweaking section and always get a green tick when downloading!!!

Thanks

Your guide seems to be right on. I used a different client for a while but got a letter from my isp so I stopped for and want to get back into the swing of things.
I have cablevision optonline (like you) with a SBV5120 Motorola cable modem is there anything you would recommend or suggest (configuring my modem or anything) other than your guide which I intend to do very soon?

Sorry if this all over the place or I don’t know what I am talking about I am still really new at this

 

8 bits in a byte

70 kB/s = 560 kb/s

Your dl speed is correct

 

Thanks for the guide and the many tips in this tread.

Before my download/upload was up to 50kbps/20kbps. Then I tweaked my uTorrent using another guide I found and got up to 250kbps/60kbps After tweaking with your guide I get up to 1200kbps/100kbps even when surfing the web. Thats at least 450% faster

Not complaining but is there any chance of getting a bit faster (faster is better)? The private trackers I try to join seems I have to have a invite? Well I better search somewhere.

Info about my system:
My line is ADSL 20000kbps/2000kbps from Telenor (Norwegian ISP) but my house is a bit away from the DSLAM center so I get about 12500kbps/1100kbps. In KB that would be about 2500KB/135KB. I pay 499 NOK (that is about $80,71 at this time).
And my computer is P4 2,8Ghz 2GB RAM, 5xHDD with total space of 1200GB +everything else I need. I got a boring gray cabinet but great power inside.

 

I see in my last post that I stated I had Telenor as my ISP. That was 6 months ago. My ISP today is Nextgentel. My cell phone network operator is Telenor. My IP-Phone ISP is Telio. My computer is from Komplett. My TV is from Phillips. I could go on forever, but it would not state anything of interest. LOL I failed, again.

 

Wow I just read through most of this thread,

any way my question is

With my connection when I run both Bit comet 0.79 and Lime wire Pro 4.13, and Lime Pro 4. 13 always wins (the Bandwidth)

Now some back round info, the connection I use and tested at speakeasy.net/speedtest/ is
Download Speed: 282 kbps (35.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 130 kbps (16.3 KB/sec transfer rate) which is BT EVDO (I think).

Also Lime wire Pro can download torrents, if you didn’t know. So I got an overly popular public torrent and opened one in LW. (Al ready had torrent in BC) LW quickly pulled away the bandwidth from the heavy Bit client (over 500000K in Task man). LW was downloading 25 KB/s and 4 KB/s Upload (multi torrents) and the Bit Comet 30KB/s DL 6 UPL was run down to nothing .

S o curiously (bored) I tried with regular EVDO (again I think). And again LW sucked away the bandwidth from BC. Here my result from speakeasy.net
Last Result: Download Speed: 468 kbps (58.5 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 129 kbps (16.1 KB/sec transfer rate).

Now with that said I have seen speeds up to and a hair over 100KB/s DL with 5 - 10 KB/s UL But it runs mainly 55- 65KB/s ,with 6 -7KB/s UL Usually anything over bout 6KB/s Upload will send DL to about 20KB/s and single or muti torrents downloading or uploading seems not to matter much at these speeds it will just even its self out over the bandwidth . I can clearly see uploading is limited with EVDO ,sad I know but we cant all have 100MB cable .[ Besides I don’t receive any invites anyway ,through it make me kinda a leech ] .

About LW ,well its LW with a built in weak bit client you cant really pick the torrent apart or limit /stop uploads its really all or nothing but hell its kinda fast for very popular torrents over 1000s% in health and under 200MB (anime and porn0s ).

On Avg with EVDO I can get 200MB in bout 1 ½ hours , depending on network usage , time of day , and day of the week with any client (surprisingly weather doesn’t matter ,but power does just a little).Which seems to be on level with some of the lower end DSL users and fine and convenient by me.

Any thoughts and ideas would be welcome, (well besides calling up BigMoney Cable and ordering that 100MB/s package )

Btw I Know what it takes to go fast ( I think ) I ve been over 500KB DL giving 100+KB ( unlimited) UL using Bit Comet pre 0.79 at the same Lime wire pro (running as p2p) pulling down 250 KB don’t remember the upload (again multi public torrents with high health ,but the fastest single torrent was in BC bout 300+KB DL) but on really fast cable via wi-fi.

Btw 2 My fav torrent tracker site has disappeared off the net -hypoh- so sad and My cpu is amd 64 2Ghz , 2Gs ram and 120 HD . Ive tried other lite weight bit clients but I like the heavy Bit Comet

iknow a little off topic

 

once you have got the tweak test results what do you do with the results? how do you do what needs to be done??
