For U torrent
Step 1 : Testing Your Internet Speed
you need to know your ISP’s download and upload speed. Visit http://www.speedtest.net. Run the test by clicking the yellow pyramid on the map. This will run the speed test with the closest server near your location.
Step 2 : Setting up Speed Limits in uTorrent 1. Open uTorrent, Press Ctrl+P (to open preferences). 2. From left column, choose “Bandwidth” 3. On right pane, under “Global Upload Rate Limiting“, set the value lower than your upload speed you noticed in Step 1. Like if you have 1Mbps of upload speed then you should set the upload limit something lower than that, like 800-900kbps. Like in the screenshot in step 1 it’s showing 0.26Mbps (or 266kbps) of upload speed then in uTorrent it should be set to something below this speed, like 240-250kbps. uTorrent Bandwidth Settings 4. But for the “Global Download Rate Limiting“, it should be set to Unlimited. Set it to 0 (which means unlimited), to experience the maximum speed. However you can set a limit if you’re parallely downloading something else and want to save bandwidth for that process too.
Step3: Open uTorrent’s preferences (Ctrl+P). On left column choose “Bittorrent” and from right pane, set “Protocol Encryption Outgoing” to FORCED and check mark the “Allow Incoming Legacy Connections“. This will make all your outgoing and incoming packets fully encrypted, except for tracker communications. Peers who are using a torrent software that doesn’t support encryption are dropped. Avoid doing this for torrents with low peers/seeds.
Step4: * Disable UTP by going to Options > Preferences > Bittorrent > Enable Bandwidth Management [uTP] > uncheck it. * If you’re downloading one torrent at a time. Set some higher number of connections in Options > Preferences > Bandwidth > Number of Connections. Like 300-400. If it’s slowing down the speed, lower it down in steps of 25 and experiment. Keep the number at minimum if multiple torrents are in the downloading list.
Step5: If you have a proxy server such as a local ISP’s one, then set the Proxy server in Options > Preferences > Connection. Under ‘Proxy Server‘, select the Type as HTTP and specify your proxy and port. Check the box ‘Use proxy server for peer-to-peer connections“.
Step6: Now the settings below are advanced ones and usually it’s not recommended to change if your speed is fine. After applying above mentioned tweaks if you are unable to see any increase then you’re allowed to proceed to alter these advanced settings. These can be accessed by going to Preferences > Advanced. Change peer.lazy_bitfield – to false net.max_halfopen value to 50 bt.transp_disposition value to 255 bt.tcp_rate_control to false. peer.disconnect_inactive_interval value to 300-600. (experiment with this)
Step7: You can add more public tracker to get more seeds and peers.
1. Open uTorrent and select the torrent by clicking on the torrent name from the list.
2. Click on the General tab below.
3. There should be a field labeled Hash near to the bottom with a string of alphanumeric character
4. Right-click the string and click Copy.
5. Open Google.com and paste the value into the search box and hit enter.
6. There should be a few result of particularly exact same torrent from all the torrent sites with this Hash tag. 7. Download the torrent from all sites and open it in uTorrent. You will get a pop up box saying: “The torrent you’re trying to add is already in the list of torrents. Do you want to load the trackers from it?“
8. Simply click “Yes” to add the trackers. Now your torrent will get more seeds and peers resulting in more speed.
