Maximizing Torrent Download Speed

[Surfer]

Hi , Recently have upgraded from 599 and 849 NU .. I was expecting torrent download speeds to touch 200 KBps .. but at an average i am getting 100 KBps only .. that too on well seeded torrents .. like ubuntu torrent ...I have also checked the port-forwarding and thats AOK too ... i am using utorrent and azureus ... i have checked with speedtest and am getting 1.8 MBPS consistently ... also am getting http downloads of around 200 - 220 ...There was a patch somewhere about patching TCPIP.SYS to increase the max half-open connections in XP ... has anybody of you tried that ?? .. are there any other settings/tweaks (i have tried setting the global upload speed ) that increases the torrent download speed .

The golden rule - Seed. Is your seeding ration good?

 

[Surfer]

yes .. its quite good .. try to maintain a ratio of 1 for every torrent i download .... have also set the max upload speed possible as suggested by the speedtest ...

It could only be bad trackers then, nothing else I could think of. Check the following links though, might help:

you can patch tcpip.sys with evid patch...google it...or you can do the same with xp-antispy...try it...it has many other useful features to prevent MS from spying on you...and also look at the links provided by nimbuz. try 8 as the upload speed when downloading, other values remaining the same which you can get from the speed guide in utorrent...someone, I think skorpio uses 6 as the Upload speed effectively...and to maintain seed ratio keep the upload speed at 0 (maximum) while not downloading...try it.

- Shift from pppoe to bridged mode.- Restrict the upload speed to 15KBPS.I tried doing the half-open thing... but didn't help much!
