having an open port will get you far.

Thanks a lot !!

Thank you,it's really a useful tutorial.I'll try some of the tips you mentioned.

Nice tutorial :P

:angry:

Good guide, though I always kept the upload to 70% of max UL speed, 85% seems like sailing very close to the limits. I'm woried that others might do some minor uploding like photobucket stuff on my wifi connection and flip the upload to max and jerk the internet connection about a little bit.

Thanks!

Good Stuff. Thanks

thanks to the guide as i was just introduced to this. I was wondering if the guide is still current and the accepted protocol for torrenting? Will the DHT and peer thing affect public trackers like piratebay?

Certainly. In fact, The Pirate Bay's tracker ceased to exist some years ago because DHT and PEX could replace it quite well.

Awesome tweeks! Lots of good stuff here

thanks :D

really a helpful guide thanks for sharing

All good advice that remains valid to this day, with the exception of the "disable DHT" myth. Private torrents are flagged as such, and all modern clients will forcibly disable DHT and PEX for them. The only reason to turn them off by hand is if you don't have any public torrents at all and therefore no need whatsoever for those features.

The article does, however, downplay the importance of permaseeding and doesn't mention cross-seeding at all, even though they're both highly recommended and effective.

I think an other legitimate reason to uncheck DHT & PLEX is proxy usage in the torrent client. Depending on the client and the way its user has set it up, IP leaks may happen when DHT & PEX are activated.

Using proxies to torrent is like putting tracks on a bicycle. Get a good VPN with port forwarding and set up interface bindings correctly :)

Very helpful, thank you

Pretty clear.

anyone else think of the Charlie Brown teacher reading this thread.. LOL

Nice tips here... thanks!
