[TUTORIAL]Speed up your uTorrent downloads

[Psychosocial]

Thanks...... but I am getting 28-30kB/s already on a 256kbps (32kB/s max) connection .

But it will help the ones with 2mbps plans.

@hari- What plan are you on???
Have you disabled any firewall that you're using??? Even the Windows firewall can reduce your speeds....
And plz don't post such screenshots here. It's not good for this thread. Plz remove the screenshot or snip the names of the torrents.

I done above mods
in Advance tab for "net.max_halfopen" i made it to 8 to 50.
But it shows it as *50 not just 50.
some thing for other mods.
what " * " indicates?

 

[Cool Joe]

^^ I don't know.

@hari- You should be able to get better speeds then. Did you try all the above methods??
And check if this happens when you download one torrent at a time. And DL some well seeded, less peered torrent, like Ubuntu. And right click on the torrent, go to bandwidth allocation, and set it to high. If all this still doesn't improve the speeds, then it's probably your connection that's limiting the speeds.

Bhai Sahab Vista k liye bhi koi jugaad hai kya?

 

[Cool Joe]

Well, isn't uTorrent available for Vista?
Do the same changes in that.

It didn't speed up.
I changed all settings to normal.

Well the basic uTorrent changes mentioned by u have been carried out but that patch is the real thing, without it any type of extra config is $h1te so is there something like that for Vista???

Actually, the patch is not the real thing. The upload speed is the real thing. You'll be surptised how many users get low speeds due to using uTorrent's default settings.

 

[hsr]

^^^ please explain

All tips here help in increasing your speed, but even with all of them, if your upload speed is not set properly, you'll still whine about bad download speeds. Most of these are no-brainers, but here's the concept -

1. high upload speed = uploading hogs bandwidth = low download speed.
2. low upload speed = low download speed (thats the concept of torrents)

What we are looking for is an optimal speed, and most users wont bother looking for the right speed.

I use utorrent's default settings and my D/L speed is always 150+ kbps.
Is this is low speed?

 

[Plasma_Snake]

Depends upon the type of connection u r having.
