UTorrent setting 1. General We expose everything as in the screenshot. Setup General is ready. In most cases, it is not necessary to change these settings.
2. Display You can leave everything by default.
3. Folders We look at the screenshot and customize the folder to download (the names for the folders you can set your own).
Place downloadable files in - serves to indicate the storage location of not yet downloaded, temporary files.
Move completed files to - this is the location for already uploaded files.
4. ConnectionUPnP forwarding and NAT-PMP forwarding must be left if you use a router and it supports UPnP technology.
Random port at startup - every time the client starts, the port number will be generated (changed) automatically. If you use a router, then it is better not to enable this function, because every time you have to forward the ports of a given one.
In firewall exceptions - leave if you use the standard Windows firewall, because if this is not done, then every time you start the client, an error will occur in the log: Error opening Windows firewall: 0x80070005 Access is denied
5. SpeedImportant:
In this section, the settings depend on your connection (receive and return) that your provider provides.
Settings are made in kilobytes, and the provider indicates their tariffs in kilobits (1 kilobyte = 8 kilobits), so in order to properly configure the connection, you need to divide your speed (reception and return) by 8. For example, in the screenshot, the connection is set at 2560 / 512 (2560 - load / receive, i.e. speed to you; 512 - recoil, i.e. speed from you).
2560/8 = 320
512/8 = 64
3) It is better not to exhibit the maximum possible speed of return and reception, since this may adversely affect both the download and the content return. Optimally set 80% of the maximum speed of your channel. As in my example (see screenshot and point 2)
320*0.8 = 256
64 * 0.8 = 51.2 (I set 52, because you can enter only a number in the field)
The maximum number of connections - usually 800-1500 is enough
The maximum number of attached peers per torrent - just put in the area of ​​80-150
The number of slots for distribution to the torrent - can be set in the region of 80-150
6. BitTorrentEnable DHT and DHT network for new torrents - allows the client to find the distribution sources and those who want to download outside the tracker. If your channel speed / tariff is divided by zones (local network is faster, the world is slower, etc.), it is better to disable it. See also
Search local peers - allows you to find those who want to download or give away on your provider's local network. Before you turn on it is better to consult on the forum of your provider, because you can get a ban for the so-called flood traffic.
Scrape-requests to the tracker is needed so that the client additionally polls the tracker for the exact number of seeders and peers in the distribution. Our tracker supports this feature, so you can enable it.
Exchange between peers - allows you to find other participants in the exchange without directly polling the tracker.
Speed ​​limit of local peers - by default, utorrent believes that the provider provides a higher speed to the local network than external, and general restrictions on downloading and uploading should not apply to local peers. If you agree with this - remove the check mark. But then local peers can clog your channel completely, and you may have problems with providers, i.e. flood traffic.
To avoid accusations of cheating and rating, we strongly recommend disabling the DHT and Exchange Between Peers functions.
7. SequenceYou can still do everything by default, but I set Distribute to coefficient -1, which means that at any ratio given / accepted on any of the tasks, the client will not automatically stop it. Distribution time 0 - means to distribute infinitely.
8. OptionalWe set the following parameters:
bt.allow_same_ip- true
Allows multiple inbound connections from a single IP address
bt.graceful_shutdown- true
When enabled (true), the client, when completing its work, will try to send statistics to the tracker until it goes all for each torrent, otherwise, only one attempt will be made without any checks. At the same time, the client will not be visually displayed on the screen, but it will hang in the memory. The time to complete the program depends on the quality of your connection to the tracker, on the workload of the tracker itself and on the number of active torrents in the client. Better turn on.
ipfilter.enable- false
Disables the blocking of IP addresses if they are specified in the ipfilter.dat file
net.max_halfopen Set 80% of the number in the patch that was flashed
tcpip.sys9. CachingWe expose as in the screenshot.
