Message: <blockquote data-quote="aragon" data-source="post: 5790313" data-attributes="member: 134516">Number of Connections -> "Global maximum number of connections" is just that - the total number of connections that BitTorrent will create across the board. Setting this number too high will cause instability and slowness. Setting this number too low will produce the exact same results. The number to use completely depends on your speed. The best "formula" to use is stick in whatever kbps uploadspeed you have (such as 384). Again, playing with this will give you the best results, so don't be afriad to deviate from this. -> "Maximum number of connected peers per torrent" is also one of those "grey areas" when it comes to definitive settings and       calculations/formulas. What I've found the most effective is use the number you calculated for the "Global maximum upload       rate" above (40 in my example) and double it. Again, tweak it here and there to find the sweet spot. Too high and you'll       expereince bandwidth choking. Too low and you'll find your speeds moving slowly.-> "Number of upload slots per torrent" is, again, heavily dependant on your Internet connection. The most efficent way to calculate this that I've found is to take that same number we doubled for "conected peers" just above (again, 40 in this example) and       divide it by 4 (10 in this example). This number should obviously never be 0 or else you'll never connect!  For dial-up       users, 1 or 2 at most should suffice. Otherwise try the mentioned calculations and toy with it from there.  ->C - Use additional upload slots if upload speed < 90% (waste-not want-not! Lets it use it if it's there...)  Additional BitTorrent Features  ->U - Enable DHT Network (not allowed on private trackers - NEVER check this!)   ->U - Enable DHT for new torrents (not allowed on private trackers - NEVER check this!)   ->C - Ask tracker for scrape information (regularly checks the health of a torrent like seeds/leechers)   ->U - Enable Peer Exchange (similar to DHT, it allows peers outside of the tracker to connect)   -> "IP/Hostname to report to tracker" should be left blank UNLESS you know what you're doing.   Protocol Encryption   -> This setting allows some users to bypass <a href="http://www.torrent-damage.net/redir.php?url=%22http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_shaping%22" target="_blank">traffic shaping techniques</a> used by some ISPs. By encryption the BitTorrent traffic,      the traffic shaping applications can't identify the traffic as BT traffic, hence it is left uncontrolled. Doesn't always      work. "Enabled" means it will attempt to encrypt the traffic, but fall back to unencrypted mode if it can't. "Forced" will      always encrypt the traffic, but won't allow the fail safe of unencrypted traffic. (Not recommended unless you have to.)  ->C - Allow incoming legacy connections (without this you would only receive encrypted connections, very limiting) <img src="http://www.guidoz.com/utguide/Queue.PNG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  This is the "Queueing Preferences" screen, which is shown by clicking "Queueing" on the left of the Preferences window.  Queue Settings   -> "Maximum number of active torrents" is always up for debate. There is no real "right or wrong" answer... just use common       sense. By uploading small amounts, it will hurt the BT community (and your ratio). Be cautious when downloading and don't       try to run EVERYTHING at once. Pace yourself! Always remember to seed when finished as well.   -> :Maximum number of downloads" is the exact same as above. Use common sense.  Seed While [Default values]-> "Ratio is <= (%)" means you can automatically stop seeding when your ratio reaches a certain percentage. Only useful for       limited connections or limited system resources. It's in your best interest to seed forever if you can.  (I've got       mine set at 10,000%.) You also have the option (via the drop-down box) to stop seeding after a certain period of time.       Again, this is only advised if you have a specific need. (I've set mine to ignore.)  ->C - Seeding tasks have a higher priority than downloading tasks (great for your ratio and the BT community!)<img src="http://www.guidoz.com/utguide/Scheduler.PNG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  This is the "Scheduler Preferences" screen, which is shown by clicking "Scheduler" on the left of the Preferences window.  Scheduler Table (if enabled)  -> Here you can adjust the bandwidth uT is allowed to use depending on the time of day. It's nice for allowing uT to still      run during the day, but also allow more bandwidth when others are using the nerwork/computer. (I use the scheduler at my office to allow us to function during work hours, but still continue to seed.) The settings are pretty much self-explanitory.      (Hover your mouse over a box to see what time frame it represents.)<img src="http://www.guidoz.com/utguide/Other.PNG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  This is the "Other Preferences" screen, which is shown by clicking "Other" on the left of the Preferences window.  Storage For Torrent Files   ->U* - Store .torrent files in: (personal preference; only used to change location of the .torrent files)   ->U* - Move .torrent files for finished jobs to: (personal preference; only used to save the .torrent files automatically)   Auto-Load Torrents   ->U* - Automatically load torrents in directory: (personal preference; used to load all torrents from a specific directory)  Other  -> "Boss-Key" is a keyboard combination you can setup to instantly hide uT (like if your boss, or wife/husband, walks in).       Just click "None" and type whatever key you want. ALT will be added to it to make the combination. Press this combo to       hide it, press it again to make it return.  ->C - Allow ?Torrent to send anonymous... (this helps improve uT and doesn't invade your privacy)   GUIDE CONTINUED - SEE THIRD POST If you like my post, don't forget to use <img src="http://www.elakiri.com/forum/images/fun/buttons/reputation.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> or <img src="http://www.elakiri.com/forum/images/bluesaint/buttons/reputation.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />....Clicking it it's free...☻ </blockquote>
