Can anyone help me w/a uTorrent ?

Question

So, I'm trying to d/l a season of a show and I figured if I d/l 3 episodes at a time it wouldn't take that long but....I when to band wish allocation and hit high, the upload limit is 5 and then i went to the bottom and licked on the 3 episodes to d/l and put them on high priority as well....and when i went to my task bar i put uTorrent on high priority...is there any other way to make this faster? i've been doin this for like 2 hrs now this is insane....thanks

Answer 1

Just download ALL of them without regard of priority. You'll get done "eventually". Such stuff should be left overnight. Forget about getting them quickly.

Experiment with bandwidth setting. Sometimes setting a higher bandwidth actually slows the download.

Answer 2

There isn't much you can do to speed up a torrent - it all depends on how many seeders there are, if there aren't any or are very few, you'll just have to wait patiently.

Also, increasing your upload speed to something sensible (more than 5) might also help as well as further proliferate the distribution of the said torrent. Knowing a little extra about the BT protocol will tell you why: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_...

Answer 3

I do not find that selecting a few episodes helps with speed.  Try this guide for setting uTorrent up for best download speeds:

But a season of a show is going to take a while depending on your line speed.
