1. Hack the max half-open TCP connections [ Follow the steps by steps to get the Best]


If you’re on XP sp2, your TCP connections are limited to a maximum of 10. This might hurt your downloading speed because it wont let you connect to as much peers as you want. It is supposed to slow down viruses because their spreading strategy is to connect to a high amount of ip numbers, but it could cripple your torrent downloads.

2. TCP/IP PATCH(WINXP SP2)
A nice way to fix this is download the patch from www.LvlLord.de - Tipps, Tricks & Utilities - News for more details on this (As posted on Dct Earlier)

The patch allows you to set the maximum allowed connections to any number you want.
I shall Recommend is 50.

Next you need to configure your torrent client to allow 50-100 max half-open TCP connections
uTorrent: Options > Preferences > Advanced options > net.max_halfopen

Change it to *80 ******( Dont Change more)**********

Now you’re ready to go…
A third point of interest is that some “windows updates” revert your tweaked tcp connections back to 10. So it’s wise to check this every now and then. You can check this by going to (in windows xp) Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer > System… Look for event 4226 (U have to use tcp_ip_Patch)

The Important part is :

Note that there’s a difference between kb/s (kilobits/second) and kB/s (kilobytes/second). To be precise, kB/s = kb/s divided by 8. In this tutorial we use kB/s (like most torrent clients do). This means that you might need to calculate your max speed in kB/s yourself if the speedtest only gives you the results in kb\s (so divide by 8 then).
Settings 1-4 can be found in the options, settings or preference tab of most torrent clients.
1. Maximum upload speed
Probably the most important setting there is. Your connection is (sort of) like a pipeline, if you use you maximum upload speed there’s not enough space left for the files you are downloading. So you have to cap your upload speed.
Use the following formula to determine your optimal upload speed…
80% of your maximum upload speed
so if your maximum upload speed is 40 kB/s, the optimal upload rate is 32kB/s
But keep seeding!
2. Maximum download speed
Although setting your maximum download speed to unlimited may sound interesting, in reality it will only hurt your connection. If you still want to be able to browse properly, set your maximum download speed to:
95% of your maximum download speed
so if your maximum download speed is 400 kB/s, the optimal download speed is 380kB/s
3. Maximum connected peers per torrent
Yet another setting that you don’t want to max out. I experimented quite a lot with the max connected peers settings and came to the conclusion that both high and low number hurt the download speed of a torrent. The following setting worked best for me.
upload speed * 1.3
so if your maximum upload speed is 40 kB/s, the optimal amount of connected peers per torrent is
40 * 1.3 = 52
I4. Maximum upload slots
1 + (upload speed / 6)
so if your maximum upload speed is 30 kB/s, the optimal number of upload slots is
1 + (30 / 6) = 6


3. ENCHANCHED TIPS CONTINUED:================
Check seeds and peers
A simple tip, but very important. 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.
Change the default port.
By default, BitTorrent uses a port 6881-6999. BitTorrent generates a lot 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 your ports forwarded (portforward.com) or UPnP enabled.
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 (free) firewall, Kerio or Zone Alarm for example.

Turn on Encryption
Encrypting your torrents will prevent throttling ISP’s from limiting your BitTorrent traffic.
1. Go to: Options > Preferences > BitTorrent
2. Go to ‘Protocol encryption’, you can choose between ‘enabled’ and ‘forced’. ‘Enabled’ will give you more connections but offers less protection against traffic shapers.
I would recommend to try ‘enabled’ first, if that doesn’t increase your speeds you need to swich to ‘forced’.
3. Ticking ‘Allow legacy incoming connections’ allows non ecrypted clients to connect to you. This improves compatibility between clients but makes you more vulnerable to traffic shapers.
I would recommend to tick this box, but if that doesn’t increase your speeds, untick it!
(check it on Google For more Info)

Optimize your internet connection
The TCP optimizer is a freeware utility can be found on Google Which can optimizes your internet connection. I found it very useful and it helped speeding up my connection for regular internet activity and for downloading torrents. Just download it, and move the slidebar to your maximum download rate (note that it’s in kb/s). Don’t try to set it higher because that will hurt your download speeds!(*********Own Risk***********)


Last but not least… Buy a faster connection…

Hope This Increases your Download and Upload speed

Happy Torrenting!

thanks dude for sharing this info.,.,

few things
- any external link should be in [code] tag...
- why are u using red color... u can use lots of formatting tools.. bold , underline, indentation or other smooth colors like blue / green...
- if you got this stuff from some other site.,. ,give credits to them..

DC members, patching tcpip.sys will not benifit you , unless u r using very high speed 100mbps server...

RDA,
THis info is not from a website, I shall change the colours tags right away
Thanks 4 correcting me

Love2006

Good effort then,., keep up the good work.,.,

and keep them coming .,. ,

Long live RDA, U R IN A BILLION........

good detailed work done but i have not tried it yet. hope it works. anyways thanx man. keep it up

good guide...
but it didn't increase my UT speed...?

do we have to restart UT in order fot these settings to work properly...?

Well to get the effect u need to shut down your system, and then switch on the system, the changes will take effect and turst me its working Awesome for me and my Dl/UL is now at 50-55kb/sec and i am using Airetl 256kpbs Broadband line....

Just wanted to share with you all...


Love2006

hii buddy, actually i also have the same connection and the modem, but no increase in speed....mine is 27-30KBps.

thanks man...

Airtel 256 Line dont give more then 30 Sir

Post Screenshot

Thanks for the information. Iam having BSNL Broadband connection. My utorrent speed has never increased beyond 9KB/s!!!

Lakin mujhe to woh warning de raha hai EVENT viewer mein or catagory....none hai....kya karun.....

Hello Check the given below screenshots of my U-torrent Below

Hello Mast king,
I would recommend that u cannt do anything about event warning and reapply the tcp/ip patch and stop the windows update as Microsoft Has been Releasing lots of security patches which will not allow you to download the Torrent with Good speed. Well u can check my U torrent screenshots as my DL rate is 43/kb secs and UL is bit slow as the Tracker is slow.

Revert back to me for further Clarifications
