Advice For New Users of Bittorrent

New to Bittorrent?

• If you are new to Bittorrent you need to install a 'Bittorrent Download Client' of which there are many to chose from.  Here is one I recommend, BitTornado, click HERE to download it.  It's simple to use and allows you to optimise your downloads easily.

• OK, so now you have installed the Bittorrent client, simply click on the Bittorrent file you desire from the download sections above, save it, then open it. Your Download will then begin.

Tips for increasing Download Speeds:

• Adjust your upload speed according to your Internet connection speed. If you set your Bittorrent client to upload at a speed that is too high it will drastically effect your download speeds. The simplest method of obtaining the maximum speed you can upload at before effecting your download speed is to set it to the lowest speed possible, then gradually increase the limit until you see a noticeable degradation in download speed. As a rule of thumb a safe upload speed is approximately 75% of your maximum upload speed.

• Stick to 1 download at a time, this will ensure the highest transfer speeds possible, it will also allow the file to propagate effectively if it has been recently seeded.

• ALWAYS keep at least a 1:1 Ratio on your downloads - This basically means that if you download a file of 700mbs you must upload 700mbs (give back what you get). If people abuse Bittorrent and don't abide by this rule the speed of downloads will reduce and all Bittorrents will effectively 'die'. If people fail to upload at a 1:1 ratio their IP address will be banned from the Bittorrent Tracker involved.

• FIREWALLS and ROUTERS that are blocking ports 6991-6889 will severely inhibit your download speeds. These are the default ports that enable Bittorrent to connect to other users. Bittorrent can still connect if these are closed although if you open up these ports you will notice a massive increase in download speed.

• Users of XP SP2 may have noticed a reduction in download speed. To reduce the potential threat of 'Worm Attacks' Microsoft developers have limited the number of possible TCP connection attempts per second to 10 (from unlimited in SP1). This new feature can severely affect the efficiency of Bittorrent. To change or remove this limit, you can use the following program: Patch v2.11  (Patch Source: SpeedGuide.net)

• Make sure you have sufficient space on your Hard Drive. Waking up in the morning and assuming a download has completed only to find it had stopped in the middle of the night because your Hard Drive was full can be slightly annoying and seriously effects your download speeds!
