Best settings for Azureus

whats best settings to get full speed do ppl recommend?

Since the 'upgrade' my torrent downloads have gone slower?? I'm on the 2 meg now and have yet to go over 30kb on any download?? I used to get 60+ on the old 750 connection. I've changed the settings in the client and have even tried a few different clients to no avail. What's going on? I currently use Azureus.

i'm on 2mbps, i set u/l to 16K, d/l unlimited but i limit connectons to 100 (more plays havoc with the router...)

slow spped is more likely to be the torrent itself rather than your settings... try a very well seeded public torrent, you should get bursts around 250K.

The upload should be set to the 80% of full capacity (lower if you want to browse the internet at the same time) I use 20KB when I'm not doing anything else (on a 2MB). Try setting the MTU to 1500 (assuming you are using a cable modem). I do not bother limiting the download as it rarely gets that high.

Check if you are getting the green face and your uploads are not getting blocked.

You could try increasing the number of connections per torrent. In an optimal swarm (one with plenty of uploaders) this can be as low as 10, but in public swarms where leeching is common you could raise it to 100 or even unlimited (0). The higher it is the more people you can download from, but you also are sending more needless "stay-alive" packets.

Also try using "use alternative socket polling"

I tried a well seeded torrent and it came whacking through so I'm guessing that it's the torrents I'm currently getting. I might alter to those settings though and give them a whirl. I'm going through a stb, would that make a difference to what I set the MTU to?

Cable and STB are 1500
ADSL 1492

2MB STB settings for Azureus (for max speed)

20 KB/s global max upload speed
??? KB/s global max download speed
??? Default max upload slots per torrent
100 Maximum number of connections per torrent
??? Maximum number of connections globally

Leave the others as zero then?

Still can't get a speed of above 20 kb/s can anyone fill in the missing figures on these?

Those are the settings (in blue) that I've got on mine, regularly get good fast downloads.

What port number are you using?

Have you got a green face/light on the torrent that you're downloading?

Have you checked that the ports are being forwarded through your proxy?

I've changed my settings to use those ones. What about 'Max simultanious outbound connection attempts' by the way? I've left mine on 8.

I'm using port 54321 as I moved it away from 6881 or whatever it was. Green lights on every torrent i get.

Don't know about forwarding the connection though a proxy? You'd have to explain that one.

Raistlin · 22-08-2005, 20:32

Yep, Max Simultaneous Outbound Connections is set to 8 on mine too.

I meant to say, make sure you've got port 54321 forwarded through your firewall/router - sorry, I'm a bit tired today
