Torrent Downloading - Set up to get max. possible downloading speeds

[psyche]

Here's a list of procedures to make your torrents to get downloaded at maximum possible speeds (depending on your internet connection).

This can specially help the people who are quite new to torrent downloading. These are fairly simple procedures but vital at the same time.

(If you have NO clue about what torrents, seeds, leechers, bit-torrent clients are then please google or check on wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page))

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Basically there are few things you should be aware of....

1. The max. possible downloading speeds obviously depend on the type of internet connectivity you have.


http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff196/psyche842/KAS%20n%20Utorrent/7.jpg


2. Finding torrents with healthy ratios (Seeds greater than Leechers) alone would not work to get max speeds in downloading the particular file needed.
Port forwarding (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_forwarding) is quite important to be done in routers and firewall software.


3. Port forwarding cannot be configured in ADSL MODEMS!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The three important things to do

1. Getting to know which port number your particular bit-torrent client uses
2. Forwarding that port number in your router
3. Forwarding that port number in your firewall software

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's a quite popular site named portforward.com where you find detailed guides to configure your bit-torrent client (utorrent or azureous or bitcomet etc) depending on the exact router, firewall software you have.

>> Router guides (http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm)

>> Firewall Software guide (http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/firewalling/routerindex.htm) NOTE - The firewall software listed in this link are the commonly used ones you get today.


BUT the site does not have a guide to set up in Kaspersky Internet Security (KIS) 7.0 or 8.0 (which comes with firewall)


So I'll show you guys a step-by-step screen shots on how to do the necessary configurations in KIS 7.0 & KIS 8.0 along with a video clip demonstrating how to do the port forwarding in a given router and a bit-torrent client

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this video clip demonstration the following are been used;

Connection - 512 kbps (max. speed range 50-64 kBps)
Router – US Robotics Model 9107
Bit-torrent client – utorrent 1.7.7

This will show ;

1. Checking the network status and the downloading speed of utorrent before port forwarding.
2. How to get the port number from utorrent
2. How to find the ip addresses (the router used and of the computer)
3. Accessing the router
4. Forwarding the port number in the router
5. Again checking the network status and the downloading speed of utorrent after port forwarding.

well there's isn't any particular settings you have to do other than the port forwarding the bittorrent client's port (like utorrent) since all the torrent settings are there in the client itself

ay 1 hv Port forwarding in ESET Smart Security?
Sorry mate I have no knowledge about that particular guard but I've found a few guidelines from other sites through googling. Check 'em out. Hope they would help :)

(utorrent site (http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php) eken)


Double click the left mouse button on your Avast! icon in the system tray (to the left of the system clock) and your On-Access Scanner will open in a separate window. If you don't see the icon, click on the arrow and it should expand to show all the icons in the system tray.
Click the left mouse button on the "Details >>" button at the bottom of the Avast On-Access Scanner to open up more options.
Look for the P2P Shield on the left of you On-Access Scanner window and left click your mouse button on it and the P2P Shield should now be highlighted.
Now click your left mouse button on the "Terminate" Button (Located on the right of the On-Access Scanner window) and you should see some text near the top of the window saying "No task is currently using this provider".
Finally, click the "OK" Button and the bottom right of the On-Access Scanner window and the P2P shield will be disabled. Alternatively, Avast! has a Customize option button besides the Sensitivity slider bar. You can exclude programs from the P2P shield in there. Excluding utorrent.exe may also solve the problem.

Before making those 'seemingly' advanced settings, just by doing the basics what i've shown is more than enough to make the downloading to go at top-notch. :)
