Well,first of all Hey There SB-Citizens !! Was a long day @ work but I managed to get Home at last and its time for bed but coz I adore this Place just wanted to share with you this Tutorial for uTorrent's Best Settings Ever that will eventually double your Dl/Up Speed or at least Boost your Bandwith to its maximum limits !! Anyway,let me begin with it coz it will take some time (and I cant open my eyes anymore coz of being tired all day) !!
Step By Step Tutorial :
First download Utorrent, and instal. Personally i think it's the fastest one out there. Then follow the steps below to max out download speeds. I usually get around 150 - 200 kb/s (while my Normal Bandwith Should be around 120 - 150 Kb/s)
>> First go to Options>Preferences>Network
1. Under ‘Port used for incomming connections‘ enter any port number.
* It is best to use a port number above 10000. I use 45682. *
2. Randomize port each time µtorrent starts: UNCHECKED
* I leave this unchecked because I have a router. If you do not have a router or a firewall, and want extra security,check this option. *
3. Enable UPnP port mapping (Windows Xp or later only): UNCHECKED
* I leave this unchecked because I have experienced it slowing down speeds. It is not needed if you manually port forward. *
4. Add µtorrent to Windows Firewall exceptions (Windows XP SP2 or later only): UNCHECKED (do this only if you have windows firewall disabled)
5. Global Maximum upload rate (kb/s): [0: unlimited]: 22 (Recommended for 256k connection)
6. Protocol Encryption: ENABLED
* I would recommend everyone to enable this. This can help increase speeds with many ISPs. *
7. Allow incoming Legacy Connections: CHECKED
>> Options>Preferences>Torrents
1. Global Maximum Number of Connections: 130 (Recommended for 256k connection)
* This number should not be set too low or the number of connections made to your torrents will be limited. Setting it too high may cause too much bandwidth to be used and can cause slowdowns.
2. Maximum Number of connected peers per torrent: 70 (Recommended for 256k connection)
* If you see that the peers connected to a specific torrent are exactly this number, or very close, increase this number to improve speeds.
3. Number of upload slots per torrent: 3 (Recommended for 256k connection)
* This depends on how much you want to upload to other users. Do not set too low or it may affect download speeds.
4. Use additional upload slots if upload speed <90%: CHECKED
5. Maximum number of active torrents: 2 (Recommended for 256k connection)
6. Maximum number of active downloads: 1 (Recommended for 256k connection)
7. Enable DHT Network: CHECKED
* This is recommended to be checked to improve speeds. More people will be available for sharing if this is checked.
8. Enable DHT for new torrents: CHECKED
9. Enable Peer Exchange: CHECKED
10. Enable scrapping: CHECKED
11. Pre-allocate all files: CHECKED
12. Append .!ut to incomplete files: UNCHECKED
>> Options>Preferences>Advanced
1. net.max_halfopen: 50
*DO NOT CHANGE THIS OPTION unless you have Windows XP SP2.
Note :
>> If you have a firewall <<
• Open up the options/preferences/settings for the firewall - usually your firewall will have an icon to click in the taskbar
• Look for the keywords “allow list” or “programs”
• Add the application you want to give access to the internet
• Make sure to save your settings when you are done
>> If you have a router <<
1. Go to start>run>type cmd, press enter>type ipconfig, press enter
2. Remember both your ip address and your default gateway
3. Type in your default gateway into your default browser, a password prompt may come up. The default username and password are admin for my router
4. Under ‘Applications’ fill out one line for each p2p client you use
5. You need to use your ip address, the correct port range and set either tcp or udp
6. You can find and change the ports in the actual p2p client’s settings, just make sure they are the same in the router
7. Most p2p apps need both tcp and udp checked, if you are not sure check your p2p client’s FAQ
8. Save your settings

Some of the settings I mentioned above are relative to my bandwidth. But If you followed this Guide Step By Step then you should be Fine !!
P.S: Don't Reply with "Hey I didnt get Double Speed" coz ISP might strictly control bandwith boosting (over-flooding bandwith) BUT at least you will Suck 99% of the Bandwith you paid for into uTorrent !!
NJoy SB-Citizenz !!
