[GUIDE] How To Increase Torrent Upload Speed / Seeding Capability

[goswami99]

Hi everyone,
Everyone might have this setting on for all I know, but I couldn't find anything on this topic on-site so I thought I would post it here since it helped me immensely. I used to have upload speeds in kilobytes/second, now I have an almost constant 2-3 mbps upload speed, just yesterday I uploaded almost 50 GB in total

1. Go to your router settings page. You can find the gateway for your router manufacturer from the internet or for example on linux doing route -n shows the default gateway.
2. Search for the setting "uPnP" and turn it on. I kept the Advertisement Period and Advertisement time to live fields at their default values (1800 seconds and 4 hops)
3. Save the settings and optionally restart your router if you do not see changes (NOTE: Restarting might sometimes reset the setting to it's original value, so make sure to turn it on again)

This option allows your torrent client to automatically set up port forwarding rules, so that more number of peers are able to communicate with you without being blocked. It does pose a security issue as potentially malicious programs can open up ports, but you can monitor the logs to check that the right programs are using this functionality.

Thanks for the info. goswami99.
I am sure alot of us will find it useful and
prevents alot of us from having bang our heads
against a wall, repeatedly trying to figure out how to
improve our upload speeds
But seriously thank you.

Tutorials - How to Improve Your Ratio

The site rules say: "You must maintain an overall ratio of at least 0.4. You must seed every torrent you download, including freeleech torrents, for at least 72 hours. If you break either of these rules then you will receive a warning and you will not be able to download any more torrents."...
