Speeding up your BITTORRENT downloads


1 post in this topic

Recommended Posts

Before I was gettings <10kb\s and now: 100kb\s downloads.

These tips will increase your download speed.

 

--Make sure your upload rate isnt to slow or to fast. 80% of max upload speed is best.

---Cable(and some others) Before packets are sent, a verification packet needs to be recieved. Higher upload ---allows this to be done more effenciently, but too high will clog your internet

--Many ISPs block the default ports of bittorents, change the default from 6889 to 16889

--Make sure the correct ports are open on any hardware/software firewalls, this includes 16889(or 6889 if you ---keeping default), many use 6969 as the listning port, a few more clients may use more.

-- some ISPs block .torrent files, have the owner/whatever change the xtension(i.e. .screwISP)

--try some of the older clients- they are smaller on ram, easier to figure out, ect. I do find Bitcomet very good

--set the max IP connections to 50, icreasing the number of people you can connect (does it fore you, windows ---only: http://lvllord.de/?lang=en&url=downloads (for some people this will hurt the speeds)

--leave your torrents open atleast a few hours after fully downloading(improved with next step)

--Spread this around. The more people do this, the more it improves for everyone
