Where you from blackamikaze? Putrajaya? Maybe your node isn't throttled yet. In my limited experience, only nodes that show heavy torrent activity is throttled.

Sorry, I re-read the last 2 pages and realised what you were doing. Thanks for the info about SSH tunneling and SecureTunnel. I find it weird that they provide for Azureus users, yet they state that they do not tolerate using their service for violating intellectual property rights. If someone was using BT for legal methods, I'm sure they would have not much use for SecureTunnel. Even if someone on a campus or in an office wanted to use BT for legal uses and is blocked, they still would have no use for SecureTunnel! (Reason being, if you're on a campus and the campus says no p2p, means obviously that's wrong and if you're in an office and need a legal file via BT, just talk to your network admin)

But c'est la vie~

Hehe, just overthinking that's all...

Yup, sorry for pouncing on you like that. I know how it feels when your post is edited by someone who isn't you. It's just that if I don't do it, I've got to answer for my inaction (or one of the other mods will just do it.. lol)

As you can see the suggestions on how to share *useful* information are quite abundant.

Let's keep this thread clean. You guys have been having quite a good discussion on SSH tunnelling. I've learnt a thing or two! Good going!

You can't set µTorrent to accept only local peers. You can do that in Azureus though. Someone posted up instructions about that already. But I think you're getting the concept wrong.

Not every M'sian can set to only accept local peers, because then, where would the source files be coming from? Most BT stuff comes from overseas, even WoW updates. Someone's got to get it from outside before he can seed it inside M'sia.

Hope that clears up the confusion. Bottom line is that you can set to accept connections from local peers only, but you're only hurting the community.

No probs.

Max peer connection is when you want to stipulate how many simultaneous connections you want µTorrent to make. The default is 80. You could set it anywhere from 40-100, in my opinion. Any higher or lower would affect your speed in a bad way. Higher than 100 will cause overload in your client, HDD, PC, router, bandwidth. Any lower than 40 and you're not utilising enough of your bandwidth to go fast.

There is another option in the Advanced section of the client, but I recommend you don't go there. You can ask if you're interested, otherwise I won't confuse you.

The Add Peer option is for, (I can only speculate since I've never tried using it) when you have a friend who is uploading something only for you. He calls you up and says "Hey mate my IP is 60.40.133.55 and I'm port 18532" So you type in 60.40.133.55:18532 in the box that pops up when you click "Add Peer..." in the Peer list.

Anyone is welcome to correct me if they know better.

Ehm, there isn't a specific rule covering what you're suggesting, but I highly suggest you don't do it here. I don't want people starting threads like "Sharing latest episode of CSI!!!111!! Give me your IPs" and then people get in trouble because of intellectual property rights and not to mention all those open IPs and ports running around the forum. Definitely not good for HomeStarRunn0r.

Keep it between people you trust. Like your GF or best friend. I wouldn't share an open IP and port like that on a forum as big as this.

But thanks for the suggestion anyway!

Wow, that's harsh, I guess they mean business.

Login to your account at the website and see if they have any notices like what you see above.

Thank you for your suggestion. We will take it into consideration. Until then, enjoy the discussion.

Notice to thread posters

Thank you for your patience in regards to the recent unpleasant episode. The off-topic posts have been dealt with and should no longer hamper your browsing experience. As for the forumer in question, the matter is currently being handled via PM. An amicable solution has been offered. This incident will most likely not repeat itself.

My sincere apologies I took awhile to take action. I hope you will continue to contribute to this topic. We may now put this bitter incident behind us.

Onward!

Hmm you need to read a few pages back. I know it's hard, but not everyone is going to repeat this for the millionth time.

You put the proxy IP in your torrent client. You put it together with the port number. Your torrent client should have some option to set proxies. Someone said used Socks5. Proxies expire extremely fast, (ie the person who is hosting the proxy gets banned or w/ever for allowing too many connections in) so that's why it doesn't work. It's a hit-or-miss thing. If you get a new proxy number, you may get lucky.

Please note, the proxy instructions here are mostly for programs that support them. If you have no problem surfing the net, then proxies are not for you.

^
Ehm, what are you mad about? Those are insane speeds! And I recommend you download no more than 1-2 torrents at a time, otherwise you are just overloading your PC, the tracker and your HDD.

Btw, I've created a quick (really quick) FAQ about setting proxies in µTorrent. It's pinned. Anyone else asks, just direct them there. Contributions welcomed!

Just type "relakks" in the search box at the bottom left corner just below the last post, and you'll see the all the posts in this topic about Relakks. Click on the >> (double arrow) to get to the very first post about Relakks and I'm sure you'll find a description for it.

Yeah that works too

Sorry I didn't think of it.

Hit the Union Jack (UK flag) at the top left corner of the site.

p.s. It's Swedish (I think) not German. Cos that's not the German flag.

Oddly enough I think if you downgrade you might get 30-50kb speeds. Due to the 1mbit is higher SNR (or something something I remember Hardyboyz saying)...

I'm on a 512 line and I'm getting same speeds as you. So you might as well downgrade so that you pay less for the same thing you're getting, eh?

If it's not Jaring, and it's not Streamyx, where you from dude? You under DiGi? Maxis? PenangFON? We can only suggest solutions if we know some solid details. Keep in touch.
