A healthy torrent swarm has a good share ratio between seeders (users with the entire file) and peers (the users getting the content and helping distribute it. A third player comes into place, leechers the users downloading the content but not uploading it. If the share ratio within a torrent swarm is unbalanced, for instance, there are more leechers than peers, everyone in the swarm will experience slow speeds.
The previous section dealt with the best qBittorrent settings for speed. But still, aside from getting good speed rates, torrent users usually also want to improve their anonymity. There are a couple of qBittorrent settings and tools outside the client that can help you protect your privacy.
Utorrent Patch V1.0 Speed Up Adsl Speed
Seedboxes are cloud-based Virtual Private Servers (VPS) built explicitly for torrenting. Seedboxes like Rapidseedbox come with pre-installed torrenting applications, including qBittorrent, BitTorrent, uTorrent, and other applications like Plex, VPN, Jackett, and Brave, to make the torrenting even better. Rapidseedbox offers shared or dedicated seedboxes with speeds ranging from 1GBps to 10GBps.
The program can aid both the novice and the advanced user in tweaking related TCP/IP parameters in Windows, making it easy to tune your system to the type of Internet connection used. The tool uses advanced algorithms, and the bandwidth*delay product to find the best TCP Window for your specific connection speed. It provides for easy tuning of all related TCP/IP parameters, such as MTU, RWIN, and even advanced ones like QoS and ToS/Diffserv prioritization. The program works with all current versions of Windows, and includes additional tools, such as testing average latency over multiple hosts, and finding the largest possible packet size (MTU).

The following patch increases Web page loading speed, by doubling the number of possible concurrent open connections. For example, imagine a web page has 20 images and some text - in order for your browser to get all these files, it opens 2 or 4 concurrent connections, depending on the Web server. Increasing the number of open connections allows for faster retrieving of the data. Please note that the patch sets some values outside of the HTML specs. If you decide to install it, backup your Registry first. Changes will take effect after you reboot. Download the patch appropriate for your OS:
I am desperately in need of help with my utorrent as its download speed has been severely handicapped. I do not believe it is due to the v1.8 patch since I have never touched any settings at all. Hence it should be some other factors (internal or external) which is causing this problem. One very important clue I noticed was my connected seed or peer are always below 10 which has never happened before even after connected for hours. For example: 8 of 3184 connected (9684 in swarm). After looking up at various faqs and similar forum threads, I still could not resolve the issue pr increase my connected seeds and peers. Below are my system specs, network connection and utorrent settings. Hope it helps and many thanks.
23000 KiloBYTES/second download speed and 360 KiloBYTES/second upload speed...you do not have. I don't know of any "regular" Cable ISP that offers download speeds greater than 7000 KiloBYTES/second. So those numbers are almost certainly kilobits/second. Even 23000 kilobits/second down is very impressive...10 times faster than many Cable/ADSL connections!
I will patch the TCPIP file soon after the other user of this PC agrees to use the 3rd party hacks. This is quite embarrassing but now I realized that kb can also refer to kilobits which is indeed vastly different from kilobyte. As for the speed guide settings, I will definitely change it 384 kilobits/second (upload
Upon learning that Opera now has a built in bittorrent client, I gave it a try and got the same thing. There are issues with my ISP as well, who insist that they do not throttle torrents, rather they use traffic shaping where p2p traffic speeds up during off peak hours. That was not my experience; I couldn't get any better than 0.3 or 0.4 k/sec under any circumstances.
I don't know how to explain this. I believe the client has protocol obfuscation built in, which is probably fooling the ISP, but I have eMule running as well and have also been browsing the whole time with no trouble other than a small lag. Also, task manager reports uTorrent is using 12 megs of memory and 3% CPU. This is nothing compared with my experience with other clients. Torrents also used to kill eMule stone dead. There is absolutely no way I previously could have run both at once. Fiddling with number of connections and down/up speeds never had any effect, either.
Now that that's out of the way...let me say a few words in advance. First of all, there is no "rule-of-thumb" when it comes to BitTorrenting. I'm certainly no expert on BitTorrent, so the settings I present here have worked best for me. Your particular situation will be different than mine, so experiment with these values until you achieve the speeds you're looking for.
Secondly, I'm going to assume you have a green light/ball (Network OK) message in your status bar, because if you don't, you'll never get reasonable speeds and you'll need to refer to my stickied post on how to properly ask for help about this.
Thirdly, and I'll keep stressing this point: more connections != more speed. For those that still don't understand this, it means more connections does not equal greater speeds, unless you have the bandwidth to back it up (in other words, a really fast upload speed). Don't bother setting extreme values like 1,000,000,000 because it is not going to help you at all, in fact it's going to use up so much bandwidth (if there are many seeds/peers in a swarm to connect to) that there won't much bandwidth left to actually download/upload anything, hurting the swarm even more. Just don't do it! :/
In the same breath, I must also say that BitTorrent in general is a very dynamic creature. It is not Kazaa, Gnucleus, or eMule. Your upload speeds may be constant, but your download speeds will not be constant. Maybe in a LAN (Local Area Network) environment, but certainly not on the Internet. This is just the way it is....get used to it. : Your up and (especially) down speeds will rise and fall continuously as seeds and peers come and go.
There's an enormous difference in speed between these two measurements (think eight-fold, in other words: 8x !), so make absolutely sure that you're using the correct format to describe your connection throughput.
Also, be realistic! If your upload is only 128 kb/s (= 16 kB/s effective), and your download is 4x faster (or even greater than that), let's say 640 kb/s (= 80 kB/s effective), do not expect your download to be maxed out every time! In fact, a realistic expectation for a well-seeded torrent (a swarm with many seeds and few peers - ratio 10:1 or higher) would be around twice (2x) your upload speeds...in this case it would be about 1822kB/s. Remember that this speed would be reached in an ideal, well-seeded torrent, but unfortunately for you and I, this is usually not the case with public trackers (where leechers far outnumber the few poor seeds trying to keep a torrent going).
So, in light of this, in a "normal", poorly seeded torrent, you should expect your download to be equal to or slightly less than your upload...in this case 911 kB/s, possibly lower. You see, the problem with BitTorrent in general is that almost everyone has a huge download capacity, but on the other hand most have a very poor upload speed. This is certainly not good for the health of a torrent, and it's this disproportionate ratio that really is the bottleneck of most torrents, and the primary reason of why you and I cannot reach our maximum download speeds most of the time. :
BitTorrent rewards people who upload very fast with a great download speed, which is why I'm going to concentrate heavily on getting your upload tweaked just right. In fact, once your upload speed is optimized, your download speed should come automagically (let's ignore swarm problems for a minute). There are many, many factors factors that can contribute to a poor download/upload speed, but we'll see how many of those we can eliminate. The advice I give here is completely free, so I'm not responsible if your PC goes up in smoke or suddenly turns into a Terminator and decides to slap you. You've been warned... 2ff7e9595c
