GoldenSheep Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Pre-allocate files: UNCHECKEDPrevents fragmentation, user preference. I don't think there's this option, I only see Pre-allocate ALL files. Even if you uncheck this it'll still pre-allocate as the files download. For example if your *.torrent has 10 files in it and you unchecked it, it won't pre-allocate all 10 files at once, instead it would pre-allocate "file 1" if you started recieving data from it. UPnP Mapping: I think this is for automatic port-forwarding so you don't have to keep your ports open all the time. (atleast from my experience that's why it appears to be) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorris003 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 for rogers just use port 1720 as its not throttled because its for their phone lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovman Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 In the latest uTorrent release (and bitcomet/azureus) they all have protocol encryption. In utorrent this is disabled by default, enable it to help alleviate capping caused by ISP's deep packet inspection. Also peerguardian with the p2p lists can help improve speeds in a way, by removing a lot of the "junk data" sent out from a huge list of addresses. Its not going to actually increase your download rate, but it will decrease the amount you have to download due to not downloading as much false/junk data.

Brin Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Since you have overhead and not every packet comes thru isn't it better to divide by 10 on you internet connection? Thanks for that, did it and it works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fryguy22 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I forwarded my ports correctly. I checked off all of the settings in your guide. I downloaded the SP2 fix and I am still getting only 40 kbps. I have a 6mbps connection. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 ^ It is possible the your isp is throttling ports. Set the encryption to forced, change peer.lazy_bitfield to true and try changing your port. Is utorrent showing a green light at the bottom? Welcome to Neowin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimy Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 ^ I'm sorry but afaik, that can only mean a firewall or a router is blocking the port in question. Make sure that you forwarded the port for your ip address, and no the other computer's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fryguy22 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I did. I turned off my firewall. I went into start --- run --- cmd --- ipconfig /all --- and got my ip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristan Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 (edited) 80% of your upload is too high, it will kills your maximum download speed. I have a (6.6Mbps/384Kbps) connection and I played with my upload speed and found the only way to still get my maximum download speed is to set the upload cap at 25kb/s. If I use 80% of my upload which is around 40kb/s my download speed significantly decreases and sufing would be extremly slow. I just tested it just now, I was going around 730kb/s with 25kb/s upload when I set the upload to 35 and 40kb/s and my download speed drop down to 40kb/s.

leovanham Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 i want to add something to this myself: In Norton Antivirus options you have a feature called "Internet Worm Protection" Disabling this also increases my download speed on both Azureus and Shareaza.

yanowhiz Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Excellent tips. Helped me out a lot in uTorrent! I've been downloading a CD 700MB for the last few days at 1-5KBPS, and I have a 5mb connection. Thanks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickenchicken360 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 This guide is meant to explain how to increase your speeds when using p2p applications and still be allowed to browse the the Internet, with just a small slowdown. First off, I'd like to recommend to everyone: ?torrent for large new files - http://www.utorrent.com/ eMule for rare files - http://www.emule-project.net/ cabos for media files - http://cabos.sourceforge.jp/ They all use very little resources and are spyware/adware free.

Swiftie Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 If after you apply the patch and still get Event ID: 4226 warnings. Could this be because the setting of 50 is to low or did the patch not work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
