QUOTE (darkdog @ Apr 20 2005, 03:30 PM) the most important things to get the best speeds:
- don't upload too much.. it'll mess up your connection! find out what's your connection's upload speed and set azureus to about 80% of that vaule (if you're not using other similar P2P apps).
example: if your connection has a 256kbps upload speed, that means that you can upload at 32KB/s. In that case, you better set your max upload speed to 25KB/s.
- don't upload too little
You can set a certain number of upload slots per torrent (if you have 2 upload slots, it means that while you download you're sending the file to 2 people as well). You should have 3KB/s for each slot.
example: if your upload limit is 25KB/s, like in the example before, that means you should have 25 / 3 = ~7 download slots. And that's either 3 downloads with 2 slots each or 2 downloads with 3 slots each or 2 downloads and a seed with 2 slots each, get it?
- having the necessary ports open is obviously the most important thing as well;
- BT takes some time to speed up... usually the best speed is reached after 30min / 1h, in my case

yeah what you about the upload speed is ture, but in my case i actually found a better way.
set ur upload speed high in the begining, then after your d/l speed reached about say.. ah 20kb/s set you u/l speed lower, like 5-15kb (there will be number that works best 4 u, play around with it. mine is 8kb/s btw). i just figured this out, now my speed goes up to about 120kb/s if im lucky...
and yea openning ports in firewall is obvious.
