The default port for the BitTorrent protocol is any port in the range of 6881-6999. ISPs regulate traffic on these ports as BitTorrent sharing includes high bandwidth usage. It's easy to configure another port in your torrent client. Use some over 10000 to pass ISPs and also avoid problems with other applications. By default, the uTorrent port is random every time it starts. Set a specific port by not allowing to set Randomize Port .
This number specifies how many connections a torrent client tries to set up at the same time at any time. Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) or newer, the default limit is 10 as a barrier against virus spread. But it is a low figure for torrent speed, torrent needs a large number of concurrent connections.
A patch is available to change the TCPIP.sys file in Windows to allow a higher number of TCP connections.
After running the patch, you must set up the connection number in your torrent client, in uTorrent go to Options -> Preferences -> Advanced -> net.max_halfopen . Set any number from 50 to 100. But we see that net.max_halfopen is set lower than the setting value in TCPIP.SYS . Always check if it is because sometimes Windows updates will overwrite it.
Some ISPs like Big Brothers limit bandwidth for P2P protocols. Protocol encryption in most torren clients helps to override this bandwidth arrangement.
Enable encryption of the protocol and check Allow Incoming Legacy Connections .
With protocol encryption, ISPs find it difficult to detect traffic coming from BitTorrent. Experiment with enable, disable or other options because you can do better with disabled encryption. No encryption makes a torrent connection more compatible with someone who doesn't use encryption, but as a subtraction it makes the torrent network detectable by an ISP with bandwidth-limiting policies.
The option to install your BitTorrent client will allow you to enter the numbers:
- Global maximum number of connections for the maximum number of connections that a BitTorrent client can create for any P2P exchange. This setting is too high does not mean higher speeds but will be useless bandwidth consumption. With the 236 kpbs connection, we set it to 130.
- Number of per-torrent upload slots for the largest number of peers that a BitTorrent client will upload to any P2P exchange. A low setting may affect the download process.
uTorrent has a Speed Guid convenient for calculating numbers with a special connection.
Most BitTorrent clients allow us to view individual files during a download session. You can choose to disable the download of the file that you think is unnecessary.
