Section 1. What is BitTorrent?

I’m not going to make this more complicated than it needs to be. BT is a peer-to-

peer network based on the idea that many people sharing a single file is more

productive than a single host for a single file. It was not designed as a haven for

pirates and copyright violation, it just happens to be really good for it.

The network is BASED on the idea that EVERYONE shares 100%, that means

that if you download something, you stay connected to it until you’ve shared

100% of the bandwidth (or more, the more the better) you’ve downloaded. So

what if your connection is much faster DOWN than UP, you got the file, so help

other people get it. The more people who are sharing (seeding) a file, the faster it

goes for everyone.

Before you can do much with .torrent files, (the files that point you to the spot on

the network where everyone’s grabbing the file) you need a client…

A. Acceptable Clients

Some people are going to disagree with me, but IDRFC, or “I don’t really care”.

This guide is set up to give you the best overall experience with the BT network,

and so I’m sharing my observations about what’s out there.

A BitTorrent client is a piece of software that acts as the vehicle between your

computer and the bittorrent network. There are dozens of choices, I’ll share my

opinions.

1. Shad0w’s original client/BitTornado- great piece of software. Probably the

fastest overall client. Also has the fewest features. Not really good if you want to

do more than 1 file, or if you need to schedule your downloads. Will run on just

about any system, doesn’t require lots of power.

2. ABC- overall a pretty nice piece of software. I don’t use it personally, but lots of

people do. It’s ok. It doesn’t have UPnP capability, which I will discuss better.

Might want to avoid this one if you have a router and you’re uncomfortable

editing the settings of it. Uses C++ instead of java, so it’s stable and doesn’t need

a powerful system.

3. Azureus- Another very popular client. This has recently become my client of

choice, but I don’t recommend it to people who don’t have strong computers.

Supports UPnP, NAT traversal, scheduling, and it’s very very easy to start a

torrent and seed it yourself. This client uses the Java VM, and as such it’s

available to just about every computer platform (linux, windows, mac), but the

java VM has a nasty habit of bloating the longer it runs. It WILL slow down your

computer after extended downloading/uploading.

4. BitSpirit- A very rare client that I used for quite a long time. It has just about all

the functionality of Azureus, but uses C++ instead of java. It’s really a very nice

client, but starting a seed isn’t really easy, there’s no support (unless you read

Korean) and some torrent sites don’t support it.

5. BitComet- This client is gaining in popularity. I don’t like it. Here’s why. It uses

a variation on the original client that was never intended: multi-tracker

announcing. Think of it like this: A torrent is hosted by a tracker. The tracker

keeps track of everybody uploading and downloading the file and their

information. Trackers can have hundreds of thousands of users at one time. This

client announces you across every tracker connected to the torrent, as an

attempt to get you more speed. I’d say about 20-50% of the time, it works. The

issue is, you’re getting more than your share, plus you’re sticking your butt on the

line. You run a MUCH greater chance of getting busted with a multi-tracker-

announcing client than you do otherwise. Other than that it’s a solid client, has

scheduling and UPnP support, doesn’t use JAVA.

>>>Update: at the request of MensaMan, lokitorrent.com VIP, I am adding that

multi-tracker announcing *could* be the future of torrenting, as it decentralizes

the tracker. If it becomes more widely accepted, I’ll go with it. It’s my opinion that

it was added to this client to cheat and get better downloads, but all’s fair in love

and piracy, I suppose.

6. BitLord- I don’t know who made this client, but they were morons. They used

the BitComet core, added some ads onto it, made it crash routers (although

different routers are picky, some clients do that, be aware. No permanent

damage will occur, you just have to reboot your router and discontinue the

software.), made the interface ugly, and spammed it all over torrent sites

everywhere. Avoid it.

7. There’s a million more, I encourage you to experiment.

B. Software you need to acquire before you continue.

The rest of this guide assumes you have EVERY piece of the following software

installed. If you don’t have it, get it.

• WinRAR

• Nero Burning Rom, version 6.6.0.1 or LATER

• Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools

• Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite/BlackIce/whatever firewall you want.

• Kaspersky Anti-Virus (Norton and McAfee and Panda stink compared to

Kaspersky, I promise it’s the best.)

• AnyDVD or DVD Decryptor. I use both, for different applications. OR

DVDShrink, but this last one isn’t supported by this guide. It’s REALLY

simple to use, so try it for yourself. Good alternative if you don’t have

anydvd and only have nero burning rom, not nero recode.

• Ace’s Codec Pack, or the K-Lite Codec pack

• Firefox Internet Browser

• VLC Media Player

• PGLite, PeerGuardian, or PeerGuardian 2

• The Blocklist Manager

Don’t worry about what it does right now, just get it and install it. MOST important

from that list, WinRAR, Nero, Alcohol 120%, AnyDVD, Firefox, one of the

peerguardians, the blocklist manager, and the codec pack.

C. Expectations of a responsible torrenter

EVERY BitTorrent user should always seed files 100%. That means if a file you

downloaded was 700Mb, you shouldn’t stop letting people upload from you until

you have uploaded 700Mb.

NO ONE should release a password protected .rar as a torrent. It’s lame.

NO ONE should release any spyware or malware containing data across the BT

network, regardless of how it is labeled.

D. Tweaking your Client

Probably the most common question I get asked is “how can I speed up my

downloads?”, and it’s probably also the most answered question in the forum of

ANY given torrent site. I’ll answer your question, and it’s simple. There are 5

basic ways to speed up your connection. I’ll list them, and then explain.

1. Change your default port.

2. Set up port forwarding/UPnP

3. Cap your upload speed.

4. Buy a faster connection.

5. Disable the windows firewall.

Ok, now for the explanations.

1. By default, bittorrent uses a series of about 7-10 ports. Bittorrent traffic

accounts for approximately 1/3 of all internet traffic. Therefore, ISP’s like to

throttle (limit the connection) offered on the default port. Off the top of my head I

can’t remember the default ports, but you need to change them. I recommend

anything above the 16000 area, but you can go as high as 65535. Within your

client, somewhere, there will be a place to set up your default port. For a long

time, I used 49152, because it’s what came into my head one day. Pick a range

between 16000 and 68000 (limit it to about 10 ports, say 1860-1870) and you’re

done, the client does the rest.

2. If you have a router, you have some work to do before you get the best

speeds. Routers like to think they’re firewalls, and so they disallow connections

they don’t like. If you have a broadband connection but NEVER EVER see

speeds over 20k/s, this is your problem. The easiest solution is UPnP enabling,

which is only available to people using windows XP. Some people say it’s

insecure…you needn’t worry if you’re running zone alarm like I told you to.

Some people will tell you to use the DMZ. Don’t do this…it leaves you out in the

open.

To set up UPnP, you need 2 things: 1, a client that uses it, and 2, a router that

allows it. You’ll need to log-into your router via Firefox, Linksys routers use the

address: 192.168.1.1, and I think D-Link routers use 192.168.1.100 to log into the

router. Linksys login is blank, default password is “admin”. D-link is the same I

think, check your router documentation to be sure. SOMEWHERE within the

setup will be a place to “enable” UPnP. On The Linksys WRT54G it looks like
