This range is expressed as either: Starting IP / ending IP, or Starting IP and number of IPs. The router selects which IP to attribute from a list of available IPs called the DHCP range. Since this IP is dynamic it can, and often does change each time. Routers work by attributing a 'dynamic IP' to each computer when it connects to the router. Uncheck 'Randomize port each time BitTorrent/uTorrent starts.' The port number will no longer change each time BitTorrent is started. (You may also assign a port number of your choice) This will be the port number you will be forwarding in your router. To set a single port, navigate to Options > Preferences > ConnectionsĬlick 'random port' once, and note the port number provided. Since we want to forward a single port, we need to set the listen port: A forwarded port is needed for any P2P client you use, not just BitTorrent or uTorrent. If UPnP/NAT-PMP is not available or does not work, it will be necessary to forward the port manually. Go to Options > Preferences > Connections, check 'Enable UPnP port mapping' and check 'Enable NAT-PMP port mapping.'

Check your router's documentation for instructions on how to enable it, and then enable UPnP in BitTorrent/uTorrent: This allows for automatic forwarding of ports, making the rest of the instructions on this page unnecessary. Newer router models often have the UPnP (Universal Plug 'n Play) or NAT-PMP built in. Some people who do not have a separate router may find that their modem serves as both and this procedure will also apply. To know if your setup is correct, open the Speed Guide with Ctrl+G, then click 'Test if the port is forwarded properly.' If the test is not successful, then either your forwarding is not working correctly or your firewall is not configured properly. If the colored dot is red you either have a NAT problem, or have not yet configured your firewall to allow BitTorrent.Ī yellow icon is an indeterminate state. If you are behind a router, then you will also need to follow the instructions on the rest of the page.Īt the bottom of the client window toward the middle of the status bar you will see a colored dot.

Set Outgoing under Protocol Encryption to Enable, check 'Allow incoming legacy connections'.

Go to Options > Preferences > BitTorrent. To avoid this, BitTorrent, uTorrent, and other clients have introduced an encryption protocol to prevent ISPs from identifying BitTorrent traffic.

This causes BitTorrent, uTorrent, and other file sharing download speeds to become slow. Some ISPs (Internet Service Providers) actively interfere with P2P activities in order to reduce their bandwidth requirements. Go to Options > Preferences > Bandwidth and put your result in the 'Maximum upload rate' box. Take your speed in kByte/s and multiply it by 0.7 (this now gives you a proper upload speed of 70% of you tested max) Take your upload speed result in kbit/s and divide it by 8 (you now have your result in kBytes.) The Speed Guide is great for setting up a variety of variables but it does fall short if your test speed falls half way between two of the possible speeds listed. So don't try to be greedy.Ĭlick the 'Use Selected Settings' button at the bottom of the Speed guide window. Too low of an upload speed will give the same result.

Higher settings will not give you better speed, and may in fact make download speeds worse. Select the listing closest to your upload speed result (rounding down as necessary) So you will need to test your connection : Since you will always be uploading at your maximum speed, torrent clients need to be configured according to maximum upload speed in order to avoid choking your connection. It is recommended that you follow these steps in order, since the guide assumes that previous settings have been enabled.
