Optimal Azureus Settings

By Matthew Michaels ⋅ June 13, 2007 ⋅ Email This Article Email This Article ⋅ Print This Post Print This Post ⋅ Post A Comment

This post is part of the Ultimate beginners guide for torrents article, please read the full guide.

For those users who use Azureus, I am going to write this small tutorial on how to optimize your settings to get the best performance and speed.Azureus is a great open source torrent client but a bit tricky when it comes to tweaking it,there is no actual ‘best settings’ for everyone since your speed and performance will depend on many factors:

1. The speed of your Internet Connection.
2. Your Operating System and Type of Connection.
3. The speed and RAM of your System.
4. Your Good Will of uploading.

Lets get to it then, If you are using Azureus Vuze go to View > Advance and once the new design is loaded go to Tools > Options… If you are using classic Azureus just go to Tools > Options.

First off I want you to click on the Mode tab so we can change it to Intermediate, this will allow us to change more complex settings.

Lets continue, I will only tell you what to change in each tab, leave the rest of the settings as default.Lets start from the first tab:

CONNECTION

    » Incoming TCP / UDP listen port - 49152

TRANSFER

Before I show you the transfer settings table, you need to find out your upload speed to know which settings apply to you. Please visit SpeedTest.net and run a test. Leave the page open as you will need it to remember your upload and download speed.

Look at the green section of the table above to determine what are ideal Transfer settings for you according to your upload speed.Leave the rest of the boxes untouched as they are optional settings that will improve comfort but not speed.

QUEUE

Look at the orange section in the table above and adjust your queue settings according to your upload speed.

Remember that this tutorial only helps you to adjust the ideal speed settings to improve your download performance, make sure you visit tab by tab to customize the rest of the Azureus settings to your own needs.

  2. ok…ok…ok… :neutral: Now I’m sitting here chewing on my finger nails because I finally pulled all my hair out trying to download a 6.2 gig file faster than 20kB/s on my cable internet connection. Got TCP/IP optomizer running at my max throughput after a speakeasy.net test and all is good…but blow me if i can’t download a torrant faster than my dialup was running before i upgraded. :mad: So I happen across this URL–head sore and fingers bleading all over the damn place–and try these settings. “Full of s**t” I say to myself as I fire this bad boy back up and watch my upload jump to 38kB/s while my dl hovers just above 17kB/s. A shot of goodol and a nail later, I come back to this p.o.s. and just glance at the screen…128kB/s download!!! :lol: If this doesn’t work for you, please feel free to ail me at porstech@live.com and I’ll walk you through it. This is the only thing that worked for me. :mrgreen:

  6. That tweak was useless, made my speeds 3X slower and my uploads faster, obviously a tweak for Nth Americans, doubt that will work anywhere else in the world. :cry:

  7. went back to port 24932 and my speeds went to normal, back to 300kBps, so much for faster speeds, think I will stick to what I got!

  9. I agree with Crud. I live in the Philippines and after I went though all this it actually got much worse. From 30-40kbps to 2-3kps :cry: . It really does only work for N. Americans. Hope someone makes a guide for our country though :mrgreen:

  10. Uh…. Excuse me If I’m totally web-tarded, but that Graph, makes absolutely zero sense to me? Is this website a Joke? What am I supposed to infer from the statistics on the graph. As far as I’m concerned it doesn’t make any sense at all. My DL speed is 4131kbps so what do I do now? Your graph doesn’t help n00bs at all.

Hello!, Matthew is awesomely cool with tons of knowledge and lots of experience in blah blah blah ...he doesn't like writing about himself cause it always seems to come out sounding self-centered, instead he will write this in a third person which most authors do anyway...perhaps it's because it makes us sound important cause it gives the illusion someone (non biased) thinks so highly of us they took some time off their own to write this :).Read more about me here...
