realutd7 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 if you have a router, then go to www.portforward.com to get guides on configuring it if you want to adjust your settings to possibly get better download speed, go here to learn http://forums.bitcomet.com/index.php?showtopic=533 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Please note that limiting upload speed can also decrease your download rate. Finding the best setting will take some practice. If you observe your client when running a very healthy torrent, take note of the upload speed and reduce it by 20%. This will free up some of your bandwidth to respond to the tracker and peers, and can give you better download speeds. However since bit torrent protocall gives more download to those who upload the most, the idea is to maintain as much upload as possible without slowing your responce time.

realutd7 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 if you want, you could also test your upload speed in some websites. just go to google and search for 'upload speed test' make sure no other programs (including p2p programs) are running if you then know what your upload speed is, reduce it to 80% of the speed (making the upload speed 20% less of what it is) note: if your speed is in kb (kilobits), then you have to divide it by 8 to get it in Kb (kilobytes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
