Pimp uTorrent on my Seedbox
Just got the OVH 100mbit Seedbox 3Ghz, 1Gb RAM etc..
Need an expert help on how to improve my UPLOAD speeds. Using wine+uTorrent. Uploading only to HDbits.
At this point you expertise on uTorrent tweaking is really what im looking for. I did set up 100mbit in speed test.
Here is what i need help on what is it/what does it do:
Preferences > BitTorrent:
1. Enable DHT Network (for new torrents as well)- when i turn that on i get an impression that my upload speeds get better..
2. Enable Local peer discovery - what is that? (have it checked now)
3. Ask tracker for scrape info - does that even affect my upload?
4. Enable peer exchange - ? (i have it on)
5. Protocol Encryption - SHould I enable or disable it?
6. Allow incoming legacy connections - ?
If there is something else that i didnt mention, please ask, and I'll tell you what my settings are (I probably got it all wrong). I didnt mess up with the ADVANCED settings. Tip me on those as well.
Now Ive been having problems with my upload since I gotten the server... In the mean time i did turn of the SLA and started messing with the settins above, and my speeds have gotten a bit better, but to me its like a shot in the dark... Have no idea what those features actually do, and really need your expert help here. It's just painful to see other leechers using the same box/provider as me, and connecting way after me, getting more GB uploads and faster speeds :(
Look forward to some guru help ;)

about the 1. :noes::noes::noes::noes::noes::noes:
dont use the DHT network. its not allowed on private trackers.. I think ( iam not 100% sure ) dht is a public network and if you enable it you give the files of the private site to the public.. my opinion turn that off
for the 5. enable it
thats all i can help :)

Why should I increase cache size to 512MB ? I thought that it only matters when you are downloading (writing) to a hard drive. Does it help the uploads as well??

Thanks man, got that On now.
Anything I should mess with in the ADVANCED settings? I noticed that sometimes when there are even 150+ leechers and I'm seeding, I connect to only few of them on a few hours old torrent. Really strange, and I'm sure it has something to do with the settings and/or my speeds which I believe depend on the settings as well.
Any ideas?
Re: Pimp uTorrent on my Seedbox
defo dont put DHT on as you will end up banned on most private sites!
Re: Pimp uTorrent on my Seedbox
Disable peer exchange as well as DHT. Never turn those on. If you have comcast i would force encryption if not then leave legacy connection on but still use encryption (Due to isp's doing traffic shaping).
Re: Pimp uTorrent on my Seedbox
if you dont mind me asking. How much do you pay a month for your seedbox Svemir?? and whats the upload and download limit per month??

Could you please explain why to disable peer exchange?
