Here is a cut and paste from uTorren forum for some torrent user tips:
I know that most of you guys could run circles around my level of expertise but, in the great spirit of sharing and caring, I would like to pass on my recent experience regarding throttling.
Since I swapped over from AOL to Talk Talk I have noticed that uTorrent has slowed significantly.
Yes I do know that AOL is now Talk Talk. But like I said, bittorent speeds were no problem until I went to Talk Talk. The Talk Talk tarrif I have is the one with 40gig ceiling and then pay for Boost.
Anyway, I got fed up with this and did some trawling with Google.
First thing I found out was that I should check the encryption settings in uTorrent. By default these should be enabled. Mine were disabled! Can't figure out how that happened.
I enabled them. I then shut-down uTorrent for a bit. I started it up again. Within half-an-hour I noticed that I had a lot more activity on my bittorrents than I had before. Things were looking up.
That was fine in itself but the speed was still low. I looked at the various websites and found something regarding Port Forwarding. uTorrent randomises its selection of port to forward. This is to help keep the seed-streams from prying ISP eyes. However it uses only one port. I downloaded a well known program. I then used it to manually set the port to 9 different ports. That sped things up a lot. I am guessing that setting 9 different ports, widened the amount of data that could travel through my computer, while at the same time, making it harder for my ISP to nail-down which port I was streaming through. Add the encryption as well and that seems to have tipped the scales in my favour.
For now.
If things get bogged down again I can alway -
* Use that handy randomise button in uTorrent to make them loose the scent
That is - Options>Preferences>Connection (Then click RANDOM PORT followed by APPLY)
* Use the PFConfig application to set uTorrent up with another batch of different ports to stream through :-)
Thats all folks. |
