I tried changing the settings and my speed is still really slow. My download speed varies from about 12 to a max of about 20kB/s. Upload is about the same. What can I do to make this faster?

[Reply]

what kind of connection do you have? have you got any firewall that might be blocking you or router? you should also do a spyware/virus scan just in case.

Hey, I installed the TCPIP.sys patch and now i want it gone. Can somebody tell me how to do that. its not in the programs and features as I am using windows vista….Thanks

[Reply]

Unless you find a default copy of the TCPIP.sys file for vista you can insert the Vista install disk and use Command Prompt to copy and paste the file from the disk to your TCPIP.sys file location.

Works perfect for me download speed went from 34kps to 340 kbps…
Awesome guide now i understand utorrent alot better

[Reply]

Cool guide, i’m new to torrents since i’ve been using limewire.
I tripped out when you mentioned the tcp/ip tweak and have used to patch in the past. I check the site from time 2 time for tweak info or wares reviews. Keep up the good work!!

[Reply]

torrents depend on seeds and leechers

if it has 20 seeds and 30 leechers then the download speed will be slower

look for torrents with higher seed amount and when download complete let your file upload so it helps others get it as well

[Reply]

How do i get more seeds for the download
7(89) with 89 being the amount detected but 7 is the amount i access

[Reply]

:eek:

[Reply]

thanx worked alot
nice guide

:grin:

[Reply]

heeeeeeelpme
didn’t work

:cry:

[Reply]

nothing happened

[Reply]

it kinda worked for me

i just wish there were more seeders and peers
=(

[Reply]

Hi Everyone,

I’ve tried all this, but nothing really happened. It doesn’t matter anyway. I’ve question… What will be the difference using port45682, 45683, 45684 other than something else? I’ve been trying the famous port8080… Does the port impacts on the download speed considerably??? :\

[Reply]

Hey J,

I don’t think the port does much of a difference when it comes to download speeds, I’ve tried several “famous” ports and get the same speed with any other one…

[Reply]

Hi,
The TCPIP tweak, does it work for general internet browsing, watching movies online, normal downloads, etc or for torrent downloads only?

[Reply]

good guide but for vista users

remember when opening the patch RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR else the file does not copy and it will not work :)

[Reply]

Thankies!!
Finally something that actually works and isn’t as if the people are picking random numbers!
Cheers Much

[Reply]

Nothing happened. Oh well.

[Reply]

GOD BLESS YOU MATE!!!

My download rate went from 14kbs to 150!!! Oh my lord….THANK YOU!!!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

[Reply]

Hi,

When I go to open the TCPIP.sys file windows asks me what progam to use to open the file.

Any one help?

Cheers,

[Reply]

Sorry Guys,

My dumb ass worked it out!!

[Reply]

Thanks for this discussion, I too think it feels more reliable than many other such I’ve looked at.

I’ve got an adsl connection 512 down, 128 up and the speedtest shows I’m getting only 482 down and 100 up.

So this should be about 48kBs down.

I’m actually getting a maximum of about 7kBs.

I have set everything as per this blog. Except you didn’t mention the download setting so I put that at 90% of the download speedtest as suggested in some other forum. i.e. at 45kBs on my system.

I’m currently connected to two torrents and one has (when I last looked) seeds 6(39) peers 8(223) and the other has seeds 11(30) and peers 1(634).

They both run with a max download of 7, frequently falling to about 2 and often even below 1.

I have had better results from this same machine, same utorrent installation previously. My original settings were not so different from yours.

I’ve switched off all such things as Scotty and various other spam and adware watchers and such.

It seems that the biggest probably cause still hanging out is the actual Torrent one is connected to, which is why I quoted the seeds and peers of them.

Do you think that’s my problem? Does anyone have any other advice. I’m running the latest utorrent version.

Is there a torrent somewhere we can download as a test sample, somehow that shows how well your configuration will operate if it is not constrained by any problems with seeds or peers or whatever ?

regards,

ab :)

[Reply]

basic configuration works great .. my speed improved from average 20kb/s to average 60kb/s

thanks lots

[Reply]

hi i did the final step, the dos screen 50 half open thingies…and then this window has popped up ‘windows file protection’

”Files that are required for Windows to run properly have been
replaced by unrecognized versions. To maintain system stability,
Windows must restore the original versions of these files.
Insert your Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 CD now”

then

”You chose not to restore the original versions of the files. This may affect Windows stability.
Are you sure you want to keep these unrecognized file versions?”

im scared..what do i do?

[Reply]

This helped me alot, my download speed was stuck at 2-300, now it’s between 4 and 900kbps. :D

[Reply]

Great guide. Thanks dude! :cool:

[Reply]

dude i had better speed when i didn’t took the test,,wtf? what’s the problem?thnx :cry:

[Reply]

:mrgreen: Yeah my download speed was before this guide 7kb/s and after this guide it was 43kb/s so thankx

[Reply]

so at first this didnt seem to make any impact, my down rate was 0.16 which made for horrible download times [pretty much always just showed the infinity symbol!] i closed uTorrent and then reopened it, and it immediately took affect. my rate went to around 30kb/s. BUT then it dropped to 14kb/s. also, i am curious as to why it only shows seeds 0(59) and peers 6(181) twhen it had previously been seeds 2(2) and peers 1(248). i am new to this and dont really understand what this all means though. any help or advice is greatly appreciated!

[Reply]

ok so i tried everything here but its still like 4.2KB/s
is there anything i can do to make it faster?
mines version 1.7.7 is that why?
the game i tried was castlevania: symphony of the night please help? :cry: thanks

[Reply]

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: i tried these speed up things and didnt really get anything good, it slowed below 10 kb\s so i just reinstalled it then loaded the torrents again from the site i go them from, if it messed up ur downloads just do that, best of luck to u all, hope u get the opposite of what i go :arrow: :arrow: :arrow: :!:

[Reply]

hey everybody

[Reply]

[Reply]

NEED help ppl…

tell me what to do :cry: :sad: :sad: :sad:

[Reply]

Hi, I need some help, cause it didn`t work.

1.-does it make any difference that i`m not in US (i`m in Buenos AIres, Agentina… forgive my spelling!)

2 -My speed test resultes in 4 values:
First 128K took 483 ms = 271371 Bytes/sec = Speed aprox: 2171 Kbps
second 128K took 546 ms = 240059 Bytes/sec = speed aprox 1920 Kbps
Third 128K took 540 ms = 242726 Bytes/sec = speed aprox aproximada: 1942 Kbps
Fourth 128K took 588 ms = 222912 Bytes/sec =speed aprox: 1783 Kbps

Which should be my bandwith limit: 18 or 180

well, hope i can get an answer cause im quite lost and my download speed suks! around 5 kb/s, 20 top, before i started messing around with the settings

thanks!

[Reply]

that patch …my anti virus setect a trojan! dont u hav an alternate file ? :(

[Reply]

My downloading speed is 20-25kbps.
after apply all above instrution I remain same.
I use broadband connection.
I see other have 200kbps what shoud I do .

[Reply]

It works great for me :razz: This tutorial is great, some of the things here i already knew, others i didn’t… Anyway, before messing with the settings, whenever i opened utorrent, my internet connection was completely blocked by the program, now it works just fine. Anyway, remember to check from time to time the number of concurrent half-open connections with the EventID patcher by http://www.lvllord.de/ as Windows might change it through updates or repairs (this happened on 2-3 ocasions).
I’m sooooooooooo happy :grin:

[Reply]

Hey man, i use utorrent 1.8, i did exactly as the guide says but my download speed got worse, its stuk below 5kbs now.
I have a wireless router and use my computer thru wi fi. can that be the reason?

[Reply]

Hi i have tried u settings but now the speed is lower than usuall plz advice

[Reply]

i tried it and it doesn’t make any difference in the speed. Is there no customized faster utorrents to use. The entire process is hell.

sorry man this is the only way I know how, nobody can make a default tweaked up uTorrent because everyones system/speed/isp/firewalls are different…maybe play around with the settings? or try azureus or bitcomet.

[Reply]

ok im downloading a 3.4g file and ive got 4(55) seeds? and its going at 3.4kb/sex and i did what the guide said? nothing happened? its still going at the same speed? someone help me please?

[Reply]

i have applied all the above settings …still the downloading speed is around 30kbps (max)…dude pls help..

[Reply]

Hi, I’m using Level one fbr-1161 router modem but my i do not have a fixed ip (using DHCP). i turned the firewall off but using Online Armour which I set the TCP In & UDP In port to allow my utorrent port 45682 but I still don’t get a green light for the connection from utorrent. However, i do see activity in terms of the nodes & also the down speed & up speed. any idea what went wrong?

According to the port forward web site configuration of the level one fbr-1161 modem router, i need to have static ip. how do i go about it?

thanks.

I believe one of your firewalls or routers is slowing your speed down…to get a static IP you must contact your ISP and request for one :).

[Reply]

EVERYTHING WORKED FINE UNTIL I INSTALLED THE FUCKING PATCH!!!! NOW MY SHIT IS SO SLOW I COULD #$@% SOMEONE…

[Reply]

Ok, I found out the solution.

1. The patch allows you to browse websites or do other internet stuff faster.

2. The patch is not really necessary to increase speed: You can increase number of half open connections in the Utorrent itself in the preferences/Advanced area.

3. Go to Utorrent forum for a better explanation….

thank you for sharing that…I never had the need to use the patch so I wasn’t aware of some of those problems but glad you shared with other readers. :)
