Increase Your Utorrent Speed Easily

Increase Your Utorrent Speed Easily

Go to Options>Preferences>Network

Under ‘Port used for incomming connections’, enter any port number. It is best to use a port number above 10000. I use 33333.​

Randomize port each time utorrent starts: UNCHECKED. I leave this unchecked because I have a router. If you do not have a router or a firewall, and want extra security,check this option.​

Enable UPnP port mapping (Windows Xp or later only): UNCHECKED. I leave this unchecked because I have experienced it slowing down speeds. It is not needed if you manually port forward.​

Add utorrent to Windows Firewall exceptions (Windows XP SP2 or later only): UNCHECKED (do this only if you have windows firewall disabled)​

Global Maximum upload rate (kb/s): [0: unlimited]: 22 (for 256k connection)​

Protocol Encryption: ENABLED. I would recommend everyone to enable this. This can help increase speeds with many ISPs.​

Allow incoming Legacy Connections: CHECKED​

Go to Options>Preferences>Torrents​

Global Maximum Number of Connections: 130 (for 256k connection)This number should not be set too low or the number of connections made to your torrents will be limited. Setting it too high may cause too much bandwidth to be used and can cause slowdowns.​

Maximum Number of connected peers per torrent: 70 (for 256k connection)If you see that the peers connected to a specific torrent are exactly this number, or very close, increase this number to improve speeds.​

Number of upload slots per torrent: 3 (for 256k connection)This depends on how much you want to upload to other users. Do not set too low or it may affect download speeds.​

Use additional upload slots if upload speed <90%: CHECKED​

Maximum number of active torrents: 2 (for 256k connection)​

Maximum number of active downloads: 1 (for 256k connection)​

Enable DHT Network: CHECKEDThis is recommended to be checked to improve speeds. More people will be available for sharing if this is checked.​

Enable DHT for new torrents: CHECKED​

Enable Peer Exchange: CHECKED​

Enable scrapping: CHECKED​

Pre-allocate all files: CHECKED​

Append .!ut to incomplete files: UNCHECKED​

If you have a firewall​

Open up the options/preferences/settings for the firewall – usually your firewall will have an icon to click in the taskbar​

Look for the keywords “allow list” or “programs”​

Add the application you want to give access to the internet​

Make sure to save your settings when you are done​

If you have a router​

Go to start>run>type cmd, press enter>type ipconfig, press enter​

Remember both your ip address and your default gateway​

Type in your default gateway into your default browser, a password prompt may come up. The default username and password are admin for my router​

Under ‘Applications’ fill out one line for each p2p client you use​

You need to use your ip address, the correct port range and set either tcp or udp​

You can find and change the ports in the actual p2p client’s settings, just make sure they are the same in the router​

Most p2p apps need both tcp and udp checked, if you are not sure check your p2p client’s FAQ​

Save your settings​

Enjoyyyyyyy.............​
