uTorrent setup help. Where's Scruffy Terror?
 

Ok, so back in the day Imburne helped me set up to download torrents. He walked me through the process and made it idiot proof. Now I had to reboot windows and lost the settings.

I'm using utorrent and storing everything on my external HD. He had me set it up so that after I downloaded, the ---- would go right to one of two folders, "temp torrent downloads", and "completed torrents". I don't know what the temp one is for, but I know the completed torrents were the ones I could listen to.

He also had me change some upload/download settings and all that, but I don't know what the ---- that is. I've downloaded torrents last night, and couldn't figure out how to open or save them in the fashion I was before.

Computer dorks, mount up!!!

Re: uTorrent setup help. Where's Scruffy Terror?
 

you can make any type of folder to put it in....when you first click to download the torrent it should say where you want to save it as then you click on the folder you just made like stealthmoodPorndownloads then it should send it their..

Re: uTorrent setup help. Where's Scruffy Terror?
 

as far as i remember, utorrent is just a download, install, and go program. unless you are behind some sort of retarded router. then again yours could be a priority router as well and thats why your asking?

if you send me an aim/msn/yahoo message ill walk you through it but im too lazy to be postin back and forth, tryin to chill nigga... O0

and hondarex he's probably talking about setting the default folders, manually choosing the folders gets annoying

Re: uTorrent setup help. Where's Scruffy Terror?
 

The "temp" folder is just for the partial files AS it is downloading. Once d-load completes it is converted to (whatever file type it originally was) and saved in the complete. Utorrent is pretty straight forward, PnP software, unless you are behind a router that needs to be configured for port forwarding/port triggering. Help for that can be found at http://portforward.com/routers.htm

Re: uTorrent setup help. Where's Scruffy Terror?
 

I have one of those pita routers and never got mine to work. :(
I even tried that portforward page.
Maybe ill give it another shot this weekend...

Re: uTorrent setup help. Where's Scruffy Terror?
 

if you did not change the folder already, all files will be downloaded and saved in the "my documents/downloads/" folder.

cllick on the start menu, choose my documents, open the downloads folder, badda bing badda boom, your file should be there.


as for changing the settings, utorrent is an install and go.

however, some settings you may use if your setup is like mine are these....


go to "options", then connections, port for incoming connects is 49954 on mine.

everything else is "stock"


then when your done with that, click ok or save or whatever the ---- the button is.

then click on options, then speed guide.

in option 1, choose the speed of the connection you have, or you can just leave it at "current settings".

on option 2, it should say the current port your in, then click the test is port is forwarded properly, if you get teh ok, then your fine, if you dont, then i dont know what the ---- to do, someone else will know.

option 3, make sure you have the encryption option checked.



then click on "use selected settings"

you should be ready to go now.

Re: uTorrent setup help. Where's Scruffy Terror?
 

Set the temp & finished folders the same, whatever you want.

Options:
Preferances:
Check to start when windows does if you want that feature
Downloads:
Set both to where you want the completed files
BitTorrent: (This is what you likely want)
Set global connections to 450
Maximum connections per torrent to 200

If you like uploading back to torrents, but don't want it to slow you down during peak hours, use the scheduler to limit the up and download speeds. Upload being the critical one ;)




And register at afew of the torrent tracking / search sites. It'll speed up queueing if you login to afew then logout.

Re: uTorrent setup help. Where's Scruffy Terror?
 

i just finished downloading a movie but the ------- thing doesnt have pic just sound. when i paly it in WMP i got the ---- going like im listening to music.

anyone know wtf happened ?

Re: uTorrent setup help. Where's Scruffy Terror?
 

You need a video codec. What ever compression program created the file has a codec that codes/decodes (
Codec) the media. Example is it was made by
DivX, you would need a DivX player or a codec that will "add-on" (attach) to Media Player.

Re: uTorrent setup help. Where's Scruffy Terror?
 

that worked, thanks. :)

Re: uTorrent setup help. Where's Scruffy Terror?
 

It seems I set the temp downloads and the completed downloads to the right spot, and when the file is done it goes to my documents/downloads and is still in the form of a .rar. The way I had it set up before I didn't have to do ---- but click "download this torrent", utorrent would open, I press ok, and bam it's in the completed folder.

I'm still trying to figure this part out, so I haven't even gotten to upload/download rates, ports, or whatever any of that ---- is.

Also, as I had to reboot windows, I also went from a regular cable modem to a linksys wireless router. This means nothing to me, and I couldn't tell you what any of that does, but maybe it'll help. All I want is my muthafucken NWA discography, nigga.

rar 4 life nigga.

sounds like its working right to me

Re: uTorrent setup help. Where's Scruffy Terror?
 

Spoken like a true O.G.

A router acts like a firewall, which can interfere with download rates when using torrents. If everything is working fine and your download speed is good, then for god sakes man, don't ---- with it! But if "Compton's Most Wanted" is taking a year to download you might have to set-up port-forwarding. Just think of it as tuning your router. ;)

Re: uTorrent setup help. Where's Scruffy Terror?
 

that won't slow it down that will cause it not to trasnfer. what you're reffering to is a router's ability to handle multiple in and outward bound connections. which range in the hunreds for consumer routers.


when you're using a p2p downloader that will connect to as many users as possible (torrent ftw), you can over-saturate a router and the connection speeds across the board tank.

Re: uTorrent setup help. Where's Scruffy Terror?
 

No, was referring to the tit-for-tat system used in torrent transfers. If others can't upload from you then your inbound connections slow down. (This is not the same with Limewire or other programs on the Gnutella network.) That's how torrent file transfers work you send and recieve fairly propotionatly, and if peers can't connect to you your download rates suffer.

Re: uTorrent setup help. Where's Scruffy Terror?
 

ya. no.
your download speed is not limited by you upload speed with a torrent. it is limited by what is availibe and your status with the torrent trackers. the majority of torrent tracking servers will downgrade your limit if you have not uploaded on average atleast 40% of the torrent in a 48hour timespan.

and unless your broadband is ----, you can download a good 5-15g in a 48hour timeframe on a popular torrent.

adding upload speed also caps your own download speed as for every packet you recieve, you send confirmation that you recieved it. and the more you're uploading, the fewer confirmations you send out, and the slower the download goes.

which is exactly why the vast majority of the time on your average 24-36kb/s upload cap on broadband your fastest download performance will NOT be remotely near your capped upload speed. It will be 1/4-1/3 of that speed.

And in refferance to what you're saying about forwarding the port. If you're able to download through a router, or any software firewalls AT ALL without any settings change that means:
The router/firewall has detected traffic requested by a network point (computer)
The router/firewall has allowed inbound AND outbound traffic to the assigned network point



So you're wrong regardless of how you want to look at it. Good try, but no.

Re: uTorrent setup help. Where's Scruffy Terror?
 

Why don't you do a write up on how torrents work, how to speed BitTorrent/uTorrent up, and share it with the class.

Re: uTorrent setup help. Where's Scruffy Terror?
 

ive aluded to the most important things here and in the past. in the past week or two for that matter.
set your connections high enough to allow many connections, but not beyond what your router handles, set your upload to 1/4-1/3 of your maximum upload speed at MOST. and login to torrent tracking sites (that participate) to keep newer tracking data avalible

Re: uTorrent setup help. Where's Scruffy Terror?
 

Links?

Re: uTorrent setup help. Where's Scruffy Terror?
 

to?

Re: uTorrent setup help. Where's Scruffy Terror?
 

Are there other threads about this. Mainly I'm concerned with speeding up my transfers. I can only find thread with links torrents like the Imburn thread in fabrication.

I have torrents with 30+ seed that download at like 3 kbps. I don't have access the router but if there is a way to speed things up without opening more ports, I'm all ears.

Also, in your opinion, what is a better program. BitchTorrent or jewTorrent?
