It is a well known fact that too many open connections can make your computer a little sleazy and make the internet come apart, dragging all of your connection to the downloads and make everything else stall. Thing is, is I have a 1Mbps connection with a 128kbps upload, which is faster than alot of people's computer... and there are cases where I've seen people downloading alot faster than mine. I turn off my firewall (ZoneAlarm 6) whenever I download, and I'm not behing a router. For a while now I've been using the LVL LORD patch thingy to allow up to 50 half open connections (rather than the Windows XP SP2 limit of 10), and I've taken that to be a must when using p2p these days. But seeing other people's computer these days have taken in cosideration that maybe too many half-open connections is what is freaking up my connection. If so, how many half-open connections should I set my computer for? And if anyone can help me even further, according to my system specs (1Mbps download, 128Kbps upload, opticfiber cable (93% efficient) not behind a firewall or router) could anyone tell me what should I put in my upload limit, open connections per torrent, global connections, max active torrents and stuff like that to optmize my downloads in Azureus? Answers to any of the questions would be really really apreciated thanks alot in advance Åphis
I set global upload speed to 25 and global download speed to 0. Those are my settings for my DSL speeds, why don't you check good speed settings under transfer to get a better idea on how to set things.
