[Guide] How To Use Torrents

[RevenG]

It will only slow down if your at your limit, usually I have 3-4 things running at ~80-120kb/s each.

don't upload with your max speed. Don't go over 80% unless you're seeding (and go a little lower if you want to surf the net at the same time :P )

Ya, listen to mlavx and RevenG. xD

So how can I configure my uTorrent at those speeds you mentioned? :confused: I can't find them in the preferences tab.

[RevenG]

In uTorrent, it should be under max upload and download slots.

I think that µtorrent has a network guide or something? tweaks your client for you

may I ask how long should I seed??? I've let my bitcomet open with my downloaded anime open for 3 days straight, but nobody has been uploading from me, so I was thinking might as well close my bitcomet ... but I was thinking maybe someone might be looking for those titles *sigh* ... sorry kinda confused ... still sleepy ... nyar :p

erhh, I usually seed until it has reached 200% or something like that. But if you've been seeding for 3 days without anyone downloading from ya, then just remove it

10k download speed and 10k upload speed is just right. leave the speed to unlimited to test if the speed is ok, as in my country on sunday, I noticed my torrent download at 50k and uploading 20k on it own as this will help you find out what day is your utorrent is running at maximum speed.

That strange, your direct download are slow, the torrent is faster than direct download on certain days.

hm... I would've aborted if my torrent was running at 10-50kb/s :P
I'm always at about 200-400kb/s and uploading ~60-80kb/s
