Breakthrough Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 If anyone using Rogers cable has noticed a speed decrease, they have applied bandwidth throttling to many major BT ports and P2P ports. You can check the forums at http://www.dslreports.com for more information on this issue. Very nice guide, it helped a lot, although I prefer Azerus as my BT client (although it hogs my resources!).

IanD Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Nice article, won't be using a bit of information from it but unfortunately I'm sure a lot of people will :no: <troll> I wish people would learn where the "stuff" they get from P2P actually came from.</troll> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noroom Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Pre-allocate files: UNCHECKEDPrevents fragmentation, user preference. There is little use to pre-allocate except for making sure you have enough space when starting a torrent. It does NOT reduce fragmentation as compared to not using it, since ?Torrent ALWAYS allocates the full file when writing to prevent fragmentation, regardless of if pre-allocate is on (unless you use compact storage or sparse files). http://utorrent.com/faq.php#How_do_I_make_..._the_torrent.3F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 ^ Good catch, I'll fix it along with a few other things in a while :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryeruby Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 you can do this or if you use windows XP with Service pack 2 you can enlarge the number of TCP connections Windows XP SP2 limits TCP connection attempts to 10. If there are more concurrent TCP connection attempts, Windows generate a warning: EventID 4226: (TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts). You can go to Xp's Admin tool, event viewer, look in system tab and notice tcpip entry (with yellow warning sign). Open it and click on the http link inside to see the page. you can correct it using the patckh at this siteDownload Patch read it here http://www.speedguide.net/read_articles.php?id=1497 you can search at google if you wants to know more :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 ^ You can do both, the sp2 patch has been mentioned in this thread and my guide a few times, I plan to add it in in the next update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLaren_F1 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Testing :D speeds are kinda crap. O.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_uk Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 what hasnt been mention or at least cant see it. if there is an option to change ports in the program that you use change them select a range for example 20000 - 20010 tcp/udp select that to forward to your pc from the router and now you dont need to configure the router each time you want to add another program just use the next port in your open range. so emule 20000tcp , 20001udp torrent 20002 and so on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing Man Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 You can also try using the telnet port for bittorent. (23). Most ISPs don't filter that much cause telnet use to be used for old servers and some ISPs still use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wutang01 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Thanks so much for the guide! Now my speeds in uTorrent are gradually getting faster! I'll test a popular file soon, and compare it with BitTornado (my current default torrent program) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimy Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 ^ I believe that the operating system should not affect speeds as speeds depend on much more important such as internet connection, router settings, file popularity etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimy Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Well then I would recommend torrenting open office instead, the speeds are outstanding :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comk Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 (edited) thanks for the guide, slimy. tried everything, but still doesn't improve my download speed(aorund 20 - 40 kb/s). Edited March 11, 2006 by Kboom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjamunky Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I was just downloading some Adobe software tryouts at ~330KB/s with FDM (Free Download Manager) and Firefox. Was amazing. But I cut back to share bandwidth on the network and so that I didn't kill the modem LOL I believe it has a tendancy to crap out with that high of a connection. I didn't want everyone else to get upset :p I generally get +100KB/s on Cabos and quite a bit less on average off of Azureus, like when I downloaded some Linux distro's. Pretty many peers, but the speed was usually <100KB/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
