Speeding Up Torrent Downloads

Posted by Deathlord | Saturday, February 07, 2009 | | 0 comments »

If you are a Bit Torrent downloader, you know what slow download speeds are like...frustrating and annoying, to say the least. Instead of getting your music or movie within a couple of hours, your software predicts it will take 2 to 4 days. Here is a way to solve the speed problems regarding the torrent downloads.


Now, while many of the speed factors involved are out of your control, there is at least one thing you can do at your receiving end to improve this speed. It is called "Port Forwarding", or "opening your specific TCP/UDP ports". This is how it works.

1) That blue or green network cable coming out of your computer/modem/router is actually a busy highway comprised of 65,536 tiny electronic lanes (yes, over sixty-five thousand little lanes for your electrons). Each lane is called a "port", and each port is designed to allow only specific types of information through. Many ports are assigned in a semi-standardized way. Here are some example port assignments:

  • HTML pages: port 80
  • FTP file transferring: port 21
  • World of Warcraft: port 3724
  • POP3 email: port 110
  • MSN Messenger: port 6901 and ports 6891-6900
  • Everquest: port 1024
  • Bit Torrents Client: port 6881-30000

2) Bit torrents, by default, first look for port 6881 to enter/exit your computer. If port 6881 is closed for whatever reason, torrents then go to port 6882, then 6883, and so on, until it eventually tries port 6999 before giving up.

3) Every ISP, and every home router, can optionally block any of these ports with the intention of preventing hackers and controlling the network.

4) If you tell your own personal router and firewall at home to open (aka "forward") port 6881 and port 6882, then your bit torrents will find their way into your computer that much faster. Sometimes up to 5x faster.

Yes, opening ports does increase the possibility of getting hacked by unwanted bad guys, but there are means to reduce that threat while still getting fast torrent download speeds.

The speed of download may increase significantly if you have a high speed internet if you use a slow internet connection speed like say 256kpbs to 2mbps the speed that changes the download is very little.

Forwarding port must be accompanied by a good firewall and anti-virus.

The Procedure for port forwarding is quite difficult but can be illustrated step by step and the procedure varies for every router/modem.

Connecting 2 Systems

Posted by Deathlord | Saturday, February 07, 2009 | | 0 comments »

To connect your Computers using a switch, hub or Crossover Cable,Goto ...

My Network Places
which is the utility for browsing network resources (places) in Microsoft Windows ME, Windows 2000 and newer Windows operating systems. Network resources include:

  • shared file folders on other computers
  • networked local printers
  • Web links (URLs)

My Network Places can be accessed from the Windows Start menu (or through My Computer). Launching My Network Places causes a new window to appear on the screen. Through this window, you can add, search for and remotely access these network

Searching for Network Resources

Network browsing is likely the feature of My Network Places you will use most often. Through My Network Places, Windows can automatically search for shared network files, printers and other resources present on your local network.

For example, many people use My Network Places to confirm that each computer set up on their home network can "see" all the other computers.

To browse a list of available network resources, choose the "Entire Network" option in the left-hand pane of My Network Places. Then, in the right-hand pane, several options may appear for the kinds of networks available to browse. Choose the "Microsoft Windows Network" option to browse resources available locally.

Each local computer found in My Network Places will be listed under its Windows workgroup name. In home networking, all computers should be set to use the same Windows workgroup, otherwise they will not all be accessible through My Network Places.

Add a Network Place

The "Add a network place" option can be found on the left-hand size of the My Network Places control window. Clicking this option brings up a Windows "wizard" that guides you through the steps to define a network resource. Here you can specify the location of the resource by entering a Web link or a remote computer / folder name in the Windows UNC format.

The Add a Network Place wizard allows you to give descriptive names to the resources you add. When finished with the wizard, an icon similar to a Windows shortcut icon appears in the resource list.

Along with the resources you manually add to My Network Places, Windows will sometimes automatically add other resources to the list. These are places on the LAN frequently access.

Removing Network Places

Removing a network resource from the My Network Places list works as in Windows Explorer . The icon representing any network resource can be deleted as if it were a local shortcut. During a delete operation, no action is taken on the resource itself.

View Network Connections

The My Network Places task pane contains an option to "View network connections." Choosing this option launches the Windows Network Connections window. This is technically a separate feature from My Network Places.

My Network Places - Summary

My Network Places is a standard feature of Windows starting in Windows ME and Windows 2000. My Network Places allows you to find network resources. It also supports creating descriptively-named shortcuts for network resources.

My Network Places can be a useful troubleshooting tool in situations where two local networked devices cannot communicate with each other. Resources that don't appear in the Microsoft Windows Network are likely networked improperly. Resources will not appear in My Network Places for any of the following reasons:

  • firewall interference
  • workgroup naming
  • TCP/IP address settings
  • other Windows software settings
