Sign up for MOL Ultimate, set your max upload to 2Mbps(2000kbps).Originally posted by wrexham:hmm, possible to teach the ways to speed it up? cause IMO everytime i use BitTorrent, the download rate is very slow, putting me off much o.o

wah =(
any settings to make it faster at all?
cause when i download, the :/ face comes out -.-
anyone can teach? =X -

rmb las time sme posted a tweak ere..but forgot liao

no point tweaking and all... fcuks up the system and you may get banned by the tracker for leeching. the main point of BT is to share and to be patient. I've been using BT for 3 years now and i always keep my ratio at 2.5:1. So generous right?

Don't set upload rate to 2000, it will eat up all your bandwidth. kbps and KB/s is two different things. Refer to below on how to set optimal upload speed.Originally posted by ditzy:Sign up for MOL Ultimate, set your max upload to 2Mbps(2000kbps).
For singnet user, if you are using:
1) 512kbps plan - you only have a upload speed of up to 256kbps (which is est. 32KB/s).
2) 1500kbps/3.5mbps plan - you only have a upload speed of up to 350kbps (which is est. 44KB/s).
3) 5000kbps/5mbps plan - you only have a upload speed of up to 512kbps (which is est. 64KB/s).
4) 10mbps plan - you only have a upload speed of up to 1mbps (which is est. 125KB/s).
5) 25mbps plan - you only have a upload speed of up to 1mbps (which is est. 125KB/s).
For starhub user, if you are using:
1) MaxOnline Ultimate (100mbps) - you only have upload speed of up to 2mbps* (est. 250KB/s).
2) MaxOnline Premium (12mbps) - you only have upload speed of up to 384kbps (est. 48KB/s).
3) MaxOnline Express/ MaxOnline FlexiSurf Express (6mbps) - you only have upload speed of up to 256kbps (est. 32KB/s).
------------------------------------------------------------------
Figures taken from singnet/starhub website itself. For how to convert from kbps to KB/s, use the figure of the kbps and divide by 8 (its should be 8.xxxx, rounded down for easier calculation) and you will obtain the est. figure in KB/s. The above given upload figure is at a approximate value.
What upload speed to set in your bittorrent software? Refer to the above for the plan you are subscribing. After confirming which plan are you in, you take the 80% of the upload rate figure (in KB/s) and set it in your bittorrent software as the maximum upload rate (e.g. If you have upload rate 32KB/s, take 80% of it will be 26Kb/s).
Why 80% and not 100% of the upload speed? Remember you have to leave some for other internet application like web surfing.
Why is the upload speed so low? Don't ask me, ask them.
kbps is Kilobits per sec and KB/s is Kilobytes per sec. KB/s is normally what you see when you are downloading.
*this upload speed only when you are using 100Mbps-ready cable modem (DOCSIS.3.0). If you are not using 100Mbps-ready cable modem, upload speed might be different, for info visit the starhub and search it yourself. -
Hi, i came here to share with u all my fine tuning methods of utorrent to enhance speed.
i've been using utorrent for the past 6 months and i'd like to give a thumbsup for its neat interface and performance.
This guide is for this people who has ADSL and Cable connection which includes those who uses router.
After these settings are done, your download rate will be up to 4x the average swarm download speed.
i assume that all settings in utorrent are default, u are currently NOT download or uploading any file in any application, Network isn't choke. if you are using wireless connection, make sure its healthy.
This is more to leeching configuration. However, if u like to seed alot, not advisable to follow this guide. PLease be patient reading it.
what u need in this tweak:
utorrent client(latest version:v1.61)
tracker info(seeder, trackers etc..)
ping.exe
EvID 4226 Patch(optional)
1. Run utorrent client, @ Option>Preference>Connection
Click Random port(or if u have a port in mind u want which none other application uses).
take note of the port number and add them to your router. make sure that u are using static IP for your router
2. @ Option>Preference>Connection
Under "Bandwidth Limiting" never set your limit to 0 or else your internet will choke.
Global maximum upload rate: 80% of your given upload rate
Global maximum download rate: 80% of your given download rate
Example: my Router/ISP limits my connection to up:25kB/s(200kbits/s), down:500kB/s(4000kbits/s)
then what i should set is up: 25*0.8=25kB/s down: 400kB/s
Note: the setting above is just an estimation. you'll still neeed fine tuning which i'll explain later.
3. @ Option>Preference>Bittorrent
Max number of connections: (Given upload speed) * 25
Max number of connection per torrent: Max number of connections/number of torrent u wish to download at the same time.
Number of upload slots per torrent:2
Example: my Router/ISP limits my connection to up:25kB/s(200kbits/s), down:500kB/s(4000kbits/s),and i want torrents to download all(6 torrents) at the same time.
Then the Max number of connections i should set is: 25 * 17.5=625,
Max number of connection per torrent: 625/6=104. Note: for max number of connection per torrent, never exceed 380 connections
Uncheck "Use additional upload slots if upload speed < 90%"
Protocol encryption - Outgoing: Enabled
Note: the settings above is just an estimation. you'll still neeed fine tuning which i'll explain later.
4. @ Option>Preference>Queueing
Maximum number of active torrents(upload of download): number of downloads you want + 1
Maximum number of active torrents: number of downloads you want
Example: i have 8 torrents to download. but then i wish to download 6 torrents at the same time only
Thus, my setting:
Maximum number of active torrents(upload of download)= 7
Maximum number of active torrents= 6
5. Click Ok, exit and restart utorrent
6. Check whether u have fowarded the port correctly by hitting [Ctrl - G]>"test if port is forwarded properly"
If its not "OK" wait for a minute and try it again
If its not OK again, u have forwarded the ports wrongly or u are assigned a dynamic ip from your router.
7. run ping.exe and ping it to your ISP.
Check if your ping is not:
flatuating (if it is, stop any upload from any application or any download in you router network if no speed limits are set) example: 15ms...100ms..300ms...45ms...60ms...1024ms...123ms...67ms...999ms...369ms...18ms
Loss ping(your router network choked)example 15ms...15ms...16ms...18ms...[loss ping]...14ms...12ms...[lossping]...12ms
High Constant ping( usually a lil more download will choke the whole network. someone is downloading something rather in high speed in your router network)example: 233ms...234ms...231ms...235ms...236ms...234ms
Sudden high distinct ping(This happens once in a while cos someone in your ruoter network is uploading something rather small file size. it is not a big problem though). Example: 9ms...10ms...8ms...102ms...12ms...11ms...9ms...122ms...12ms
Example, my ISP is maxonline.. so i should type this at start>run
input: ping www.starhub.com -t
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
for instance, i want to download 2 files only. i analyze their their torrent.
file abc - 600 seeders 800 leechers= 1400peers
file xyz - 30 seeders 100leeches = 130peers
in instruction #3, it is just a general formula to follow. however, if u wish to fine tune a little bit more, here's how it goes...
file abc, although the tracker shows this amout of seeders and leechers, its impossible to connect them all eventhough u have maxed outyour number of connections
1. divide the vaules by 2
file abc - 150+150 = 700peers
file xyz - 15+50 = 65 peers
2. use the general formula and calculate the number of connection per torrent(@ instruction 3. for example i've 25kBps of upload speed).
625/2= 312
3. to make full use of your max number of connection,(recall @instruction3.Max number of connections: (Given upload speed) * 25), use the unused reserved connection from file xyz and shift it over to file abc.
this can be done by:
subtract the files which smaller peers from the general derived.
312-65= 247
and add it back to the general peers derived
247+312=559
This will be your Max number of connection per torrent.
however, it is not advisable to excceed more than 400( see instruction #3)
so your new Max number of connection per torrent is 400 ( set it @ Option>Preference>Bittorrent).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. go to start>run>cmd
input: ping -t
leave it on throughout your downloads
if u get these symtops(at instruction 7)
Loss ping(your router network choked)example 15ms...15ms...16ms...18ms...[loss ping]...14ms...12ms...[lossping]...12ms
flatuating (if it is, stop any upload from any application or any download in you router network if no speed limits are set) example: 15ms...100ms..300ms...45ms...60ms...1024ms...123ms...67ms...999ms...369ms...18ms
hower your upload rate by 2, max number of connections per torrent by 30 until it stablise at the point when there's constant low ping. eg: 15ms...15ms...16ms...13ms...14ms...15ms...
if u get constant ping, and u want to improve your download speed, u can increase your global maximum upload rate by 2 and max number of connection per torrent by 20(note: advisable not to exceed more than 400).increase the total connections by 20*[number of torrents downloading currently]. if it starts to have signs of loss ping or flatuating in your ping.exe, lower them back by 2, 20 respectively.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
from my experience:
i've a feeling that utorrent cap the download background which improves seeding practice.
for example, i set my upload speed as 5, may of the times, my download speed was capped at 30kBps at background.
up 5 cap 30kBps
up 6 cap 40kBps+
up 7 cap 70kBps
up 8 cap 80kBps+
up 9 cap 110kBps+
up 10 cap 150kBps+
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPtional:you can patch and increase your number of half open connections. this will improve the number of connections
however, please do take note that always reserve 1/5 of the half-open connection. for example, u wish utorrent to use 40 connection
patch your half-open connection to 50 using EvID 4226 Patch. after patching, u will need to set the half open connection in utorrent at
preference>advanced> net.max_halfopen: 40
please do not set values over 200
note: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. the disadvantage of using it is that virus/malware/trojan spreads faster to other computers if yours is affected.

Another 2 more for free torrent downloads - isohunt, meganova.
I was looking for a specific extension/add on to my software but could not find it on those any of those free sites. (need to try it out before paying for the real thing - no free trial)
then I was searched the "other Sites" which require payment for life time membership and found it there.
U need to login first before they allow u to download.
Anyone tried those yet?
if yes PM me let me know how is it or we can make certain arrangments. -

Good luck.Originally posted by superbstrongnlong:I kena letter fr Starhab for using bittorrent leh, how?
In fact, more porn, more luck. -
Btw, any idea why my torrent is not moving??
28 seeds, 8 leechers
But nothing is downloading nor uploading.
Everything is 0. Not moving.
And status is still connecting...

Did you configure your torrent program correctly?

yeah.. other torrents is ok.. except for tat particular one...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Did you configure your torrent program correctly?
and when i asked my fren to try downloading the same file... it works...

Not too sure why it's happening, it could be another P2P protocol.Originally posted by mhcampboy:yeah.. other torrents is ok.. except for tat particular one...
and when i asked my fren to try downloading the same file... it works...
sianz...
There are a few protocols, and different P2P programs can handle different P2P protocols.
The most common ones are torrents, Gnutella and Gnutella2, e2DK (whatever it is called, related to eDonkey), FastTrack and Usenet.
Most programs are able to handle at least two types of P2P protocols. Your P2P program may not be able to handle that particular protocol, that's why you can't download. -
Hmmm maybe i have to update by torrent software? or in my case bitlord?Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Not too sure why it's happening, it could be another P2P protocol.

Bitlord only supports torrents if I'm not wrong... if the file you found is using other protocols such as Usenet or FastTrack, you will not be able download...Originally posted by mhcampboy:Hmmm maybe i have to update by torrent software? or in my case bitlord? -
ermm...i think so la...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Bitlord only supports torrents if I'm not wrong... if the file you found is using other protocols such as Usenet or FastTrack, you will not be able download...
cos i just download bitspirit...
and can download... strange.. -
Should be a protocol problem... get one that supports multi protocols.Originally posted by mhcampboy:ermm...i think so la...
cos i just download bitspirit...
and can download... strange..
Before doing so, check the safe list: http://p2p.malwareremoval.com/

starhub 12000 summore
sumtimes up sumtimes down
like for example
the recent download of freedom writers of axxo
5 kbps one time, 150kbps the second
maybe its a starhub thing
singnet usually quite consistant 1
so i tink singnet the best -
my ever hunger for max download speed
has driven me to the extent of opening up 500 tcp port
and i set my net.max_halfopen to 500 instead of 8 in my utorrent
if that torrent is a new release, it is almost possible for me to connect to all seed and peer
i could achieve over 100 KB/s for one of my file
but even if i have opened 500 port for my utorrent, if that torrent is poorly seeded and full of leechers, i will not be able to achieve a decent speed
between, now even i feel that 20 KB/s is so slow
so please, make no mistake, don't be a noob and ask noob question about why is my download speed is so slow, if you really want to improve your download speed, google is your friend
and seriously, i am only using starhub 6500,
