There is an option to limit the download and upload rates, but I think that by default there is no limit. Otherwise, your download rate might depend on the upload rate allowed by your pears, many allow to share their torrents and a fixed, low rate, in order to preseve their bandwidth. So, there is not much to do from your client side.

Okay and be default download and upload rates are already fixed to 'Maximum' which I have not changed, but finally there is nothing to do then.

Actually you DO want to limit upload, otherwise your upload will choke your download, since your upload bandwidth is almost always more limited than your download. Leave your download unlimited, reduce the number of upload slots to two-four, and cap your upload speed at no more than half your purchased upload bandwidth. Make sure you have a hole in your firewall for the torrent ports or you will get snubbed for not giving back. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

This point really I forgot, should can I make a hole for upnp of KTorrent in default firewall of openSUSE 11.4?

Short answer: Probably. Are you behind a hardware router? You probably have to open ports there or use upnp there as well. Long answer: I don't have any routers that do upnp (or have turned it off on those that do). I'm old school, and if something opens an inbound port thru my router I want to know about it. As such I always forward a port MANUALLY to each machine authorized to run torrents behind my router. Hover the cursor over all the ports fields in the Ktorrent settings, and it will tell you which of them need to have holes in the firewall. Also see the help. There is a Recommended Settings button in Ktorrent that helps you calculate your upload bandwidth cap so as not to swamp your own download with your uploads. A generally helpful guide to bit torrant, (even tho it is NOT about kTorrent) is here: http://www.bittorrent.com/help/guides/bittorrent-connection-guide -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hi,

Is it possible to increase the KTorrent Speed or by any tweaking options?

You can try Deluge from the Pacman repo. I use it it is very configurable. -- ____________ Steven L Hess ARS KC6KGE DM05gd22 Skype user flamebait Cell 661 487 0357 (Facetime) Google Voice 661 769 6201 openSUSE  Linux 11.4 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Well I have installed it (I am sure there is nothing like it works better in Gnome or less in KDE), how can I configure it for a betterment, like changing the default options.

That is really a fact

But using a bittorrent for something like the 11.4 is probably a bad idea in the first place. Bittorrent is designed to help with popular downloads and spreads the bandwidth load on the servers. I doubt many people are pulling 11.4 currently, so you are better off using a simpler protocol like simple ftp or http. Greg -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.

12.1 is the most popular for the moment, followed by 10.3 and 11.1: http://opensuse.jessen.ch/ (of course, those numbers only apply to my seeder). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (2.3°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I just fumbled my way through setting it up by the seat of my pants using Google and past experience using different torrent program. The openSUSE applications forum is good for that kind of thing as well. You can configure it to be the default torrent application in KDE. It's got more features and fine grained control than K-torrent.

If it is really great, I am fine since I have installed it, I am now going to search how to make it the default and link which was given for the tweaking options. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
