Increase bittorent download Speed

The latest file sharing protocol bittorrent has modified everything when it comes to file sharing. It is a nice platform for downloading large files. Sharing of files include movies, iso images and MP3 songs. Bittorent is mainly famous for illegal file sharing .
The Bittorrent system can be slow at times due to heavy traffic. so let us tweak bittorrent sharing program a little bit.
There are a lot of different bittorrent clients that you can download. I think the best are BitCommet and uTorrent.

Here is a few tips to speed up uTorrent Client. Similar can be implemented on any other torrent clients ,which you are using.

Step 1: Increase TCP connections

You need to increase the number of TCP connections that are allowed at max.Windows XP Service Pack 2 came with the number of allowed open connections to 10. This is to stop any piece of spyware(in our case bittorent client even) from totally taking over your internet connection. TCP connection allowed should be 50 for optimal performance. The best way to increase the maximum number of connections is to apply patch that is available at www.lvllord.de. A nice way to fix this is to download this patch .

The little tweak to the torrent client works great in certain times. If you’re using uTorrent go to Options menu then Preferences. In the Preferences go the Advanced Options. In the advanced options change the net.max_halfopen connections to 80. In the same section change the max half open tcp connections to 80. Once your done click on OK and you are all set. This tweak will let the maximum TCP connection available for the bittorrent client. Now start downloading you’ll realize a little difference in the download speed. Port forwarding technique is more effective than this.

A third point of interest is that some “windows updates” revert your tweaked tcp connections back to 10. So it’s wise to check this every now and then. You can check this by going to (in windows xp) Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer > System… Look for event 4226 (sort by event).
If there are a lot of daily occurrences it’s likely that the max amount of half-open tcp connections was set back to 10. Or you’re infected with some nasty spy ware…

Step 2:Torrent Client Configuration
In order to apply these tips you must know your maximum up- and download speed. You can test your bandwidth over here (stop all download activity while testing).

Settings 1-4 can be found in the options, settings or preference tab of most torrent clients.

1. Maximum upload speed

Probably the most important setting there is. Your connection is (sort of) like a pipeline, if you use you maximum upload speed there’s not enough space left for the files you are downloading. So you have to cap your upload speed.

Use the following formula to determine your optimal upload speed…

80% of your maximum upload speed

so if your maximum upload speed is 40 kB/s, the optimal upload rate is 32kB/s But keep seeding!

multiple Instances of yahoo messenger and google gtalk

If you are a Internet freak as I am , then you must be having a lot
of email id's (yahoo,gmail,hotmail)....however you could run only one
yahoo ID at a time in yahoo messenger.... i figured this out... as easy
as making लस्सी .... just a registry tweak
.... having a problem just
consult me through comment.

Follow these steps for yahoo messenger :

1. Go to Start ----> Run . Type regedit, then enter .

2.Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER --------> Software --->yahoo ----->pager---->Test

3.On the right pane , right-click and choose new Dword value .

4.Rename it as Plural.

5.Double click and assign a decimal value of 1.


That's it done!!
Now close registry and restart yahoo messenger .For signing in with new id open another messenger.

for google gtalk :

For
any Google Gtalk fans want to run multiple instance Gtalk messenger
account at the same times. Here is a simple trick you can run multiple
instance of GTalk Account by adding or enter some command the GTalk
Messenger software and run it.

1. Right Click on your Gtalk
shortcut.[Remember only this shortcut will run multiple
instances,others wont be able to unless you edit their properties same
as we are going to do now]
2. Now go to properties
3. In the target box,you will find something like this “C:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe”multiple instance of GOogle GTalk
4. Now
add -nomutex at the end of text in Target with a space.It will now
become like “C:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe”
-nomutex.im showing the same in the figure also
5. Click Ok and you are done

Now
double click on the shortcut and you will see one more instance of
Gtalk running on your PC. You can do the same even for other gtalk
shortcuts in your pc.

Now some more simplified method :

As
I have multiple ids of gmail and yahoo for either personal and
professional reasons. But you can’t run all ids at once on a single
computer. Either you use different browsers to run the web versions of
gtalk or yahoo web messenger or signin and signout using different ids.
Another solution is using meebo.
