This is not the place to go playing around and seeing what everything does. You     can royally screw up your uT expereince that way.  I'm only going to address those settings which are believed to give     your Client a boost. All others are better left alone, unless you know what you're doing. Locate each bolded option     below in the list, then left-click it once to highlight it. This will allow you to change the value in the line below. Type     in the new value, then click "Set" to save it. (Click Revert to go back to the default.) the recommended values I've found     to be the most useful are noted in blue. If curiosity gets the best of you, you can always see more information     in the <a href="http://www.torrent-damage.net/redir.php?url=%22http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php%22" target="_blank">Official uT FAQs</a>.net.max_halfopen (How many connection attempts ?Torrent will make at any one time.) This setting depends on whether or not you've hacked your TCPIP.SYS file (if you have SP2 installed). If you're unsure, you probably haven't patched it. If you'd like to, or if you just want to check, grab <a href="http://www.torrent-damage.net/redir.php?url=%22http://guidoz.com/requests/TCPIP.SYS%20Patch%20v2.12.exe%22" target="_blank">this utility</a> from my website. -> If your file is unhacked, NEVER set this higher then 8!-> If you have patched your TCPIP.SYS file, the best way to determine this number is to divide your upload kbps (384 in my example) by 4 (96 in my example).net.low_cpu - FALSE Unless you're living in the stone age and have a really old CPU, it's ok to let uT use more CPU. (This is the default.)peer.lazy_bitfield - TRUE This is handy if you think your ISP may be using traffic shaping, or simply if you're havingtrouble maintaining your upload speeds (or can't seed properly). This may help with such problems! (TRUE is the default setting.)peer.disconnect_inactive_interval - 600 This setting can help stabilize your connection. The most accepted ideais to set it to a higher value. Some say turn it off completely, though I disagree. I believe it is still a useful thing in some cases! Best to play around with it and see if it helps. uT will ignore anything below the default value of 300.diskio.write_queue_size - -1* This setting can help you if you are having hard drive issues, such as the hard drive not being able to keep up with the download speeds, or if you are seeing the "Disk Overloaded" message in the status bar. Modifying this may help... You can safely set it 2 or ever 4 times your maximum download speed. NEVER set it below 2MB (204or higher then 32MB (3276. For example, if you have a 4Mbit download speed, multiply that by 1024 to get the byte value (4096) and then again by either 2 or 4 (at most) to get the new value (or 16384 in this example). The latest version of uT are optimized quite nicely, so messing with this setting rarely helps. (The default of -1 is best if you aren't having any problems.)<img src="http://www.guidoz.com/utguide/ADC.PNG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />This is the "Disk Cache Preferences" screen, which is shown by clicking "Advanced -> Disk Cache" on the left of the Preferences window. Disk Cache -> The default settings are best left alone UNLESS you are noticing issues. (Especially the "Advanced Cache Settings" -these is setup to keep the wear and tear on your hard drive at a minimum.) Pop up a post if you think you may need to modify     these settings and we'll help. <img src="http://www.guidoz.com/utguide/AUI.PNG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />This is the "User Interface Preferences" screen, which is shown by clicking "Advanced -> User Interface" on the left of the Preferences window. Actions for Double Click -> As you can imagine, all these settings really are personal preference. I encourage you to explore the pull-down menus to     see what other options you have when double-clicking. Speed Popup List ->U* - Override automatic speed popup list (allows you to customize the upload/download cap override limits)    -> To use this, keep in mind that you can right click on U: or D: in the status bar to quickly change the upload and       download caps. Entering different numbers in this section will allow you to customize the automatic values available. Persistent Labels -> This is a very cool feature! It allows you to label your torrents in any fasion you choose. I personally use this to     simply keep track of which tracker a particular torrent is for. (If you're like me, you have a ton of trackers for     multiple torrents going at once. Labels keep things organized.) Here you can enter labels that you always want to     have access to, even when no torrents are assigned that label. (More on labels later in this guide.) Be sure to separate     the labels with the indicated character ( | ). They will be available in alphabetical order from the drop-down box. Search Engines-> You may have noticed the FireFox-like search bar in the upper right of the main uT window. Here you can define additional,     or edit the existing, search engines. I have added BitMe and Demonoid, for example. (See screenshot above.) Just do a     search on whatever tracker you'd like to add, then copy/paste the URL of the search, but remove the search terms you typed.<img src="http://www.guidoz.com/utguide/Main.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Now that we've gotten out settings tweaked out, lets take a peek at how to use all these goodies! Above is a screenshot (reduced size, obviously) of my uT "main window". You can see my labels on the left, followed by the number of torrents under each label. Clicking on a label will allow you to instantly see all the torrent associated with it. Excellent for keeping tabs on yourfavorite trackers! I also find it useful to be able to click the "Active" label to instantly see all active torrents from all trackers. If you right-click a torrent, you have lots of options. Some of the most useful for productivity are... Bandwidth Allocation - Allocate more bandwidth to your most important torrents or less to others. Advanced -> Reset Bans - If a torrent doesn't seem to be connecting to peers, try that. (Clears the auto-bans) Update Tracker - Performs a manual scrape (data sync) with the tracker. This is done automatically every 30 min or so.Another way to optimize your torrenting expereince is to tweak what colums are displayed, and in what order they are. This is easy! Right-click anywhere on the displayed colum names (such as on "Size". You'll get a list of all possible colums, with check marks nextto those that are displayed. If you have no need for certain information to be displayed, simply click on its name and it will become unchecked. This will also make it disappear from uT, allowing you more room to see what information is important to you! If you're missing some info you'd like to have, simply reverse the process (click on an unchecked item to have it be displayed). You can drag and drop the colums to have them displayed in any order you like. Something else that is wonderful to be able to do - details stats. Look at the bottom half of the screen. Here you can obtain specific information about whatever torrent you have selected. The "General" tab is useful for basic information. <img src="http://www.guidoz.com/utguide/Peers.PNG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  The screenshot above is the "Peers" tab, which allows you to see detailed information about the connected peers. (Again, some information has been removed for privacy.) The next tab (Pieces) will give you detailed information on the data chunks that compose the torrent. More useful is the "Files" tab as seen below. This lets you quickly see the progress of your download by the individual files it contains.<img src="http://www.guidoz.com/utguide/Files.PNG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The next tab, "Speed" gives you a graphical representation of your transfer speeds. (I rarely look at it.) the last tab is an important one - "Logger". Here you'll be able to see any important system messages, such as failed has checks, auto-bans (for bad data received), internal errors, etc.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>
