Increase download speed in utorrent

Note: Some of the settings mentioned below are optimized for 256k connection. If you want to calculate the optimal settings for your connection, check at the end of this tutorial. But I suggest you to read the entire tutorial for guidance on other settings.

First go to Options>Preferences>Network


1. Under ‘Port used for incoming connections’, enter any port number. It is best to use a port number above 10000. I use 45682.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Add utorrent to Windows Firewall exceptions (Windows XP SP2 or later only): UNCHECKED (do this only if you have windows firewall disabled)
5. Global Maximum upload rate (kb/s): [0: unlimited]: 22 (for 256k connection)
6. Protocol Encryption: ENABLED. I would recommend everyone to enable this. This can help increase speeds with many ISPs.

7. Allow incoming Legacy Connections: CHECKED

Increase download speed in utorrentOptions>Preferences>Torrents

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Use additional upload slots if upload speed <90%: CHECKED
5. Maximum number of active torrents: 2 (for 256k connection)
6. Maximum number of active downloads: 1 (for 256k connection)
7. Enable DHT Network: CHECKEDThis is recommended to be checked to improve speeds. More people will be available for sharing if this is checked.
8. Enable DHT for new torrents: CHECKED
9. Enable Peer Exchange: CHECKED
10. Enable scrapping: CHECKED
11. Pre-allocate all files: CHECKED
12. Append .!ut to incomplete files: UNCHECKED Torrent Settings

Increase download speed in utorrent
Options>Preferences>Advanced

net.max_halfopen: 50

If you use Windows XP SP2, patch tcpip.sys with LvlLord’s Event ID 4226 Patcher to get better performance.

DO NOT CHANGE THIS OPTION unless you have Windows XP SP2 and have patched tcpip.sys.

You can also patch tcpip.sys with xp-Antispy

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

1. Go to start>run>type cmd, press enter>type ipconfig, press enter
2. Remember both your ip address and your default gateway
3. 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
4. Under ‘Applications’ fill out one line for each p2p client you use
5. You need to use your ip address, the correct port range and set either tcp or udp
6. You can find and change the ports in the actual p2p client’s settings, just make sure they are the same in the router
7. Most p2p apps need both tcp and udp checked, if you are not sure check your p2p client’s FAQ
8. Save your settings

:!: Check PortForward.com to forward ports for uTorrent.

Some of the settings I mentioned above are relative to my bandwidth.

How to calculate optimal settings for your connection

In order to apply the following tips you need to know your maximum upload and download speeds. You can test your bandwidth over here.

Maximum upload speed

If you use your Maximum upload speed, there won’t be not enough space left for the files you are downloading. So you have to cap your upload speed.

This is how I calculate my optimal upload speed…

upload speed * 80%

Maximum download speed

Setting your maximum download speed to unlimited will hurt your connection. So use this to calculate your optimal setting.

download speed * 90%

Maximum connected peers per torrent

upload speed * 1.3

Maximum upload slots

1 + (upload speed / 6)

Disable Windows Firewall

Windows Firewall hates P2P and so disable it and get yourself a decent firewall like Zone Alarm.

And last optimize your Internet connection with TCP Optimizer

There are many viruses, trojan or malware in the world wide web. Today many PC infected by these suck program. Or your PC's was infected.

Before purchasing of downloading antivirus program there are some factors that this software must have. These factors are:

1. Its efficacy during stealing viruses (check eccentric tests for unprejudiced results)
2. Its palliate of have use of (normally down to the user interface)
3. Its worth for income
4. Its patron as good as technical await (should be giveaway as good as 24/7 ideally)
5. Its rule of updates

7. Its compatibility

When all the vital criteria were investigated you found which Kaspersky antivirus 7.0 to be the most appropriate all turn antivirus program upon the marketplace day. However, it might not encounter your mandate so it is critical to do your own review regulating the criteria above. Our commentary of the little of the tip sellers have been below. Hopefully this will give you the little superintendence of what is out there during the impulse as good as what might fit you.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0
The pathogen showing record which drives this program has achieved really good in eccentric tests as good as gained the clever repute inside of the industry. The technical await is glorious as good as the user interface intuitive.

The alternative categorical advantages with it have been the parental carry out facilities which have been not benefaction in alternative program (great for you relatives out there) as good as the cue stable remoteness control. We found which it had minimal outcome upon Personal Computer opening (apart from the primary indicate which did delayed things down). Finally, as good as really importantly it carried out programmed hourly updates as good as genuine time internet scanning.

The downsides were the cost $59.99 as good as the time it took to do the primary scan.

BitDefender Antivirus 2008
Another really in effect square of antivirus program is BitDefender. the scanning engines have been ICSA Labs certifies as good as it additionally adds the combined reward of antispyware as good as antiadware. Gamers should be gratified with the code new gamer chronicle which stops irritating cocktail ups during diversion play.

A pass value of this program over others is the rootkit showing as good as dismissal feature. Again this is something which sets it over as good as upon tip of the competition. Free 24/7 await as good as the in accord with cost ($24.95) have it the genuine contender to Kaspersky antvirus 7.0. The downsides to this chronicle have been the miss of modernized pattern options which will perplex the some-more modernized user. The scans were additionally upon the extensive side.

Norton Antivirus 2008
Despite carrying the clever code as good as most years of knowledge building antivirus program you consider Norton Antivirus 2008 to be the single of the misfortune upon the market. It does the basis ok though there have been as well most problems with it to be competitive. For example, there seems to be an arrogance usually IE users exist. Help conditions have been geared towards IE users as good as Browser Defender does not work with any alternative browsers.

It is the large 300MB, which is scarcely 6 times the distance of Kaspersky anti-virus 7.0. The singular opening does not clear this size. It slowed down the appurtenance measurably. The interface was horrible as good as configuring settings was the genuine pain. Finally, the anti-spyware was not really effective.

Perform a Surgery on Your PC

Perform a Surgery on Your PC

Hello Friends,
Today am gonna say how to do a surgery on your own PC.

1. Find the right workspace. Good light, nice air and plenty of room are essential. Working in tight spaces or under your desk will benefit only your local repair shop.

2. Avoid Electrostatic charges. Unplug the computer. Even when powered off, some PCs deliver current to the motherboard, which can send a damaging shock to both you and your PC. Always ground yourself; Electrostatic charges can destroy your device. Use a grounding strap or touch an unpainted, metal portion of the chassis before unplugging the PC and handling hardware components.

3. Remove the cover. Some PCs have covers that pop off easily without tools; others require a small Phillips screwdriver or a six-sided torque driver. Place screws (and any other hardware you remove) in a cup or box.

4. Clear the path. If a rat's nest of cables and power cords hinders your way in to the interior of the case, remove them first. Labeling each cord and connector will save you time during reassembly.

5. Removing or replacing an expansion card. Start by removing the bracket screw that holds the card in the chassis. Handle the card on its edges only; avoid direct contact with any chips or circuitry. Apply even pressure across the length of the card when inserting or removing it, and make sure you don't bend the motherboard.

6. Changing a DIP switch or jumper. If you don't have a manual that locates the switch or jumper on the motherboard and describes how to set it, don't guess. A mistake can fry your motherboard. And be careful with jumper pins they can bend easily.

7. Adding or removing a hard disk drive. Prepare the drive first: Set any jumpers or switches on your hard drive to their proper master or slave settings before sliding the drive into a hard-to-reach drive bay. Sometimes it's helpful to use a small piece of compressed foam or cardboard to line up the drive's screw holes with those in its bay.

8. Check your connections. Just before putting it back the casing cover, recheck all your cables and connections one last time. Power connectors sometimes require a stiff push to seat properly.

Increase the Battery Life of your Laptop

Increase the Battery Life of your Laptop

  1. Darken the screen: Your laptop screen is found to be the most power-hungry component in your laptop. Your laptop screen needs high amount of battery power to maintain its clear and luminous display. To preserve this power you can adjust it’s brightness to a low level. Just good enough to our eyes.

  2. Modify the power settings: Windows Vista powered laptop comes with several outstanding power features. It can help you get the most proficient performance when your laptop is plugged and optimize its life when it’s on the move.

  3. Turn off Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) is among the greatest battery power eater. It weakens your laptop’s battery from perpetually absorbing power from the battery even if you’re not online. If you are using your laptop outside from the wireless network it is more advisable to just turn off your Wi-Fi to save some power. If your laptop doesn’t have a function button to switch on or off your wireless adapter you can just go to control panel, access the Network Connections and disable it from there.

  4. Switch off peripheral devices: USB sticks, mouse and webcams are the primary offenders in sucking out your batteries life. Utilizing USB devices also contributes in draining your laptop’s power, disconnecting it when not in use, ejecting your devices as soon as possible and switching off your laptop’s inbuilt webcam can help conserve your laptop’s precious power.

  5. Invest in some computer hardware: Usually laptops come with a six cell-battery, but a lot of makers today already provides eight or even 12-cell elective upgrades, which will definitely double your power. If you can afford it then why not invest more, in the long run you will be surprise on how much energy and money you save just by investing on the right piece.

  6. Disable features: Windows Vista has got new features, but most of them prove to be needless by an ordinary user or even to some expert users. One good example is the Windows Aero, switching it off not only it will help you save a small amount of power but it will also make your laptop more proficient.
