Question

How do i find the best method of speeding up my utorrent by adjusting the preferences etc.?

Answer 1

1.) set download speed to 1/4 of your rated bandwidth

2.) Max active torrents to 4

3.) Max download torrents to 3

4.) Adjust number of total connections to 600

5.) Adjust max number of connections per torrent to 200

6.) one upload slot per torrent.

7.) Make sure your ports are forwarded in your router.

These should work with any connection.....This is about all you can do on your end.....The speed is dependant on the speed of everyone seeding the torrent.......Happy downloading and don't forget to seed.....

Answer 2

Speeding up bittorrent will vary according to your setup. Some settings have to be changed according to your internet connection.

This is the best torrent guide I have come across. http://torrentfreak.com/speed-up-your-to...

if you follow the instructions and the links in this, you will increase your download speed considerably.

This site http://userpages.umbc.edu/%7Ehamilton/bt...

has information about port forwarding and other settings on various routers.

Answer 3

Increase the maximum number of half-open connections, open a port in your firewall and/or router.

Make sure you jump on torrents when they are still new, and therefore, popular.

If you want to increase your download speed, you can try limiting your upload speed just a bit.  If you limit your upload speed to ~80% of your maximum upload speed, you can maximize your download speed.
