torrentfreak.com — Configuring your BitTorrent client is extremely important if you want to get the best out of BitTorrent. However, the settings pane of the average BitTorrent client might be a bit overwhelming, and some people just don?t know where to start. For novices, this BitTorrent settings calculator might come in handy.

My comments copied from the article:Actually, this only applies to low-speed Internet connections (single digit megabits), like those that are common in the US: DSL, Cable, etc.For people in, say, Sweden, Japan and Korea, which have full 100-Mbit or 1-Gbit Ethernet connections straight into the home, the connection is already full-duplex, and upload is completely independent of download.I have a 100-Mbit full duplex connection, meaning I can download and upload at 100Mbit each at the same time. 100Mbit full duplex is some sort of minimum acceptable standard in urban households today in Sweden. Some have gigabit connections.Several industries have had a gigantic financial incentive in delaying the Internet rollout, particularly TV and telco. Ironically, these are the ones who provide low-speed internet connectivity (single digit megabits) in the US and claim it's fast. They have to do that in order to not lose their major cash cow, TV and land line telecomms.What the US needs is independent internet providers without previous cash flows to safeguard against new technology.Cheers,Rick (pirate party lead)

The Dlink Gaming Router can handle at least 6000 connections. It may be more (8000,10000, my memory is hazy). They should rename it the WAREZ ROUTER. (other bargain basement routers run out of slots at a lot lower number) If you need more you can use a dedicated Linux box as your router, but I like the completely 'solid state'-ness of the Dlink. Once you get it setup how you like, and connected to a UPS, you can leave it up for years without rebooting. Note: remove the plastic top to allow all heat to vent straight up. You should do that to your cable modem as well... cable modems in particular can get really hot. Once you take the circuit boards out of the cases, and allow them to circulate, they become far more reliable. I found all my problems were always due to overheating as I live in the southern climate.

@scottishim pretty sure he knows what he is talking about, 1.8mB/sec isnt really that fast, verizon's fios is ~40mbits/sec (something like that) which is 5 mB/sec, nothing too big
