Increase uTorrent Download Speed

Filed in: Tips — May 29th, 2006

I posted about some tips on increase BitTorrent(BT) download speed. Now, John has a more specified article about “How to increase download speeds of uTorrent“.

Basically, you need to find out the optimal settings for upload/download speed, upload slots, and connection peers based on your Internet connection speed.

    @Gagan: 1KiloBIT/Sec (KBs) is not equal to 1 KiloByte/Sec (Kbs). your download speed of 25KBs on 512kbs connection seems normal for me.

    Mine says “disk overloaded 100%”. Is that what is causing the slowdown? I am at 4300 k/sec cable but I can never get more than 10k/sec download no matter how many seeders. How do I fix the “disk overload” issue?

    Thanks!
