utorrent 2.0.4 speed problem?
Zin79:
OK, it's not related to the topic but I'm new to Vuze so, I have a little question.
The wiki says that "Enable encryption in your torrent client, and set it to the highest level possible."
But when I took a look at the Vuze's wiki, it said Level 5 is the highest and should not be used for Private Trackers and does not really help with seeding/leeching. My question is should I enable encryption level at RC4 or Plain?
And should I allow 'non encrypted outgoing connections if encrypted connection attempt fails' and 'non-encrypted incoming connections'?
And it says that if I enable encryption, my IP will be discovered; will that harm my security?
Freedom Kira:
Just set it to level 5 and see if it hampers you. If it does, lower it a notch. Shouldn't be a problem though.
Side note, you did have encryption enabled in uTorrent, right?
And yes, allow both. Enabling encryption only means you will be sending encrypted data. Disallowing non-encrypted outgoing connections means you are essentially forcing encryption, meaning you will only be sending encrypted data. Disallowing non-encrypted incoming means you are restricting your access to the swarm to only people using encryption.
And uh, your IP is showing when you browse the web - every web page you visit can see your IP. I don't see why you think it's a problem. It might be bad if someone with malicious intent gets hold of it, but even then it's probably easier to insert a little spy onto a web page than to snoop around BitTorrent traffic.
P.S. Vuze is super bloated. I used it once upon a time, and despite having a reputation for being one of the best clients, it also had a reputation for being one of the power-hungry ones. Probably not the best choice as an alternative client to uTorrent now, but it probably was at some point in history.

Well, if it gets on my nerves (though it's great so far), I'll switch to Bittorrent. utorrent was really good, I must admit but thanks to me, I have to stop using it now.
Fool010:
Did you try to disable the uTP protocol in utorrent ?
The default value of bt.transp_dispositi on is 31, allowing both TCP and uTP connections. I get unsteady rates both incoming and outgoing after a while with both protocols active, once I turn uTP off the problem disappears.
You should give it a try, change the value to 5 (UDP only) in the advanced preferences.

Not saying it's bad; actually it's a very good client. It just takes up too much RAM.
Try ^ his solution.
