Make Downloads Faster In Bitcomet

Optimal Bitcomet Tweak...

This post is part of the Ultimate beginners guide for torrents article, please read the full guide.
There are many users who prefer BitComet over any other torrent client, it may not be as fast as others but it’s more reliable and will almost always finish it’s download with no problems.BitComet is not that complex in settings, compared to clients like azureus it has basic settings that can be optimized and improve your speed quite a bit with just little changes.

Lets start this guide, first off I will indicate that I am only worried improving your speed, if I don’t mention a settings that means you should leave it as default or change it as you see fit.Also in this tutorial we will need to know how much your download/upload speeds are to modify accordingly, please take a speed test at SpeedTest.net and also open up windows calculator from the accessories since we will be using it for some math.

Go to Options > Preferences. Now:
CONNECTION

General Settings:

» Global Max Download Rate: - No Limit (If your maxing out, only use 80% of your download speed. eg: 1400 x 0.8 = 1120 KB/s)

» Global Max Upload Rate: - This has to be set to 80% of your upload speed. (eg: 210 X 0.8 = 168 KB/s max upload rate.)
Task Schedule:

» Max Simultaneous Download Tasks: - This is the result of your Global Max Upload Rate / 8 (giving 8 KB/s of upload bandwidth for each task).So 168 / 8 = 21.

» Auto start new task if download rate less than: - No Limit
Listen Port:

»Listen Port: - from 49154 to 65534.
ADVANCED > CONNECTION

» Enable DHT network - CHECKED

» Remove Port on NAT/Firewall (XP or later only) - CHECKED

» Server mode, support more connections but can’t set practise rate - UNCHECKED

» Protect against ARP cheating attack from LAN - CHECKED

» Max Connections per task - Auto

» Global Maximum connections - Auto

» Socket start interval (ms) - 200

» Max simultaneous half-open TCP connections - Auto

» Use NAT Traversal via UDP - Auto Detect

Hmmm, I’ve learned that all you have to do is turn on the long-time seeding option (I forget what option that’s under). I guess the idea is… if you’re set up to seed later, it will let you download faster now. Find it and try it.

You can still delete tasks from BitComet’s queue as soon as they’re finished. The program just needs to be set to automatically seed when the download is complete.
(This may not be the trick, but it seemed to be the change that speed things up for me.)
