answer:Short Stick with the default settings unless you know specifically what you are “fixing”. Long Uninstall the BitTorrent app and reinstall either uTorrent (which BitTorrent purchased and is dedicated to now I think), or better yet, Vuze (old Azureus) which is widely considered the best app. Not faster, mind, as they are all about the same speed if setup correctly, but Vuze has the best features and an outstanding community and support. I think uTorrent is the lightest load on memory though – if you’re into RAM minimalism.) A key thing is to be sure to throttle correctly. That is, keep your upload speed setting throttled to no more than 80% of your theoretical max. This is important. If you crank up your share speed to “give more love”, the overall performance chokes big time. Like the bloop-bloop-bloop of air-gush-air-gush when you poor water out of a bottle. (Yeah – I know that’s an inaccurate analogy – but it’s all I got.) Most people who “do not get the results they needed”, as you say, blame the app settings when in reality max speed is entirely dependent on your network. My father who lives only a few miles away has ⅓ the max speed I do. It’s just the pipes. Perform one of the online speed tests and contact your network provider if you feel you are getting sub-par performance for your money paid.
