I'm currently running either shareaza or bit comet can anyone tell me what settings to use to speed things up. Also I'm getting system freezez using bit comet, I seem to remember reading somewhere that there's a way of fixing this. However I've done a search and can't find anything.

Please help

Bit Comet freezes - I ran the TCP optimiser that comes with the True Billion installation disc. I'll share this too in DC++ when I am in. I ran settings for DSL (not ppoe) and then on the second tab set both 'max connections' to 100. (which is OTT but hey...)

I also upgraded to IE6 - but doubt this had any effect. Also run only one torrent at a time, and don't run it with DC++. Make sure your share ratio which is displayed for each torrent and an accumulated score under statistics in Bit comet is above parity (1:1) otherwise your Torrents will slow to a crawl.

Also set global UL bandwidth to no more than 80% of your Upload capacity - lower is better but you will have to seed longer to maintain a good share ratio.

Lastly under prefs/advanced/connection set max connections per task to 60, and connections to keep per task to 60.

I did all this and the freezes all but stopped.
