1. Cap your upload
Limit your upload speed to approximately 80 percent of your maximum upload rate.
2. Hack the max TCP connections
If you’re on XP sp2, your TCP connections are limited to a maximum of 10. This seriously hurts your downloading speed because it wont let you connect to a high amount of ip numbers. It is supposed to slow down viruses because their spreading strategy is to connect to a high amount of ip numbers, but it also cripples your torrent downloads.
A nice way to fix this is to download this patch (EvID4226Patch223d-en.zip (http://lvllord.de/?lang=en&url=downloads) - mirror (http://torrentfreak.com/evid4226patch223d-enzip/)), it allows you to set the maximum allowed connections to any number you want. Any number between 50 and 100 is ok.
3. Check seeds and peers
Always look for torrents with the best seed/peer ratio. The more seeds (compared to peers) the better (in general). So 50 seeds and 50 peers is better than 500 seeds and 1000 peers. So, be selective.
4. Change the default port.
By default, bittorrent uses a port 6881-6999. Bittorrent accounts for a lot of the total internet traffic (1/3), so isp’s like to limit the connection offered on the these ports. So, you should change these to another range. Good clients allow you to do this, just choose anything you like. If you’re behind a router, make sure you have the ports forwarded or UPnP enabled.
5. Disable Windows Firewall
It sucks. Windows Firewall hates P2P and often leads a life of it’s own. So disable it and get yourself a decent firewall, Kerio or Zone Alarm for example.
6. Configure your torrent client to allow 50-100 max half-open TCP connections
µTorrent: Options > Preferences > Advanced options > net.max_halfopen tcputorrent
Bitcomet: Options > Preferences > Connection > max half-open TCP tcpbitcomet
Now you’re ready to go…
tell me your ideas.....
