I sorry for this Post if i step on or did not see anyone post like this....BUT...I couldn't find this anywhere on this site.
Speed downloads and Uploads in bit torrent world slightly depend on who is sending it, and what his speed is....and what your speed is. (I will use the word speed instead of bandwidth for a lay mans terms)
In Bit Torrent world, we depend, on how many people are you connected to....right....like...how many leachers, seeders, and Peers.
These are all connections....right!
so...
who cares what the other guys speed is......you should only worry about how Many people you will be connecting to.
There is a Thing inside you Windows or Mac or Unix, or Linix OS....that is called.....
TCPIP STACK.....and
TCPIP HALF OPEN CONNECTION.
You ever wonder, why IE will only allow you to download three things (at once), and wait till 1 is completed before before the 4th is started or even prompts you for it.
Did you know that all OS half open TCPIP connections is based on a DIAL-UP connection
Like 10 only...
hmmmmm
I don't know about you guys, but, I want more connections....and I mean a sh!t load.
Your PC may not be tuned properly to take full advantage your full connection speed. For those with high speed connections (faster cable networks, FiOS, etc), tuning your TCP stack is necessary if you wish to fully utilise the available bandwidth (speed) in one single download.
OK, now....before someone Banns me....I need permission to post an offical site of the person who created a TCPIP Stack Patch to increase the Max connection you pc can have.
Once I have permission, I will post the link....or a Mod can PM me, and I wil PM back a link for approval...I can post the File if possible?
Mine is set to 200 Max connections....hmmm...
OK.....lets just say you all set on your connections.....now what...
well....increase the Max connection on your Utorrent to Match....BUT watch out...
your max upload connection must be relative to your speed (bandwidth)
My ISP is giving me - 10mbit/sec down, and 1mbit/sec up.
I set my Max connection to 200.
20 for uploading.
I could not find this in any guide or sticky in anywhere on this site.
Hope this helps someone.
PS: if you have a VERY slow or cheap connection....don't hope for much....just a bit only.
Take Care all...
