A peer to peer network is
sharing alike on the same or similar platform and therefore you should
be able to set your client's upload speed rate to a maximum amount,
which will usually be about 80 percent of your maximum upload speed that is being offered by your ISP. Keep this speed, as high as possible, but you have to play your cards well as the upload speed affects your download speed as well.
Note: Mind the speed units it may be given in kilobits per second (kb/sec) or kilobytes per second (kB/sec).
1 kilobyte = 8 kilobit
- Experiment with Protocol Encryption
Some ISPs love to act like Big Brothers and constrict bandwidth for P2P protocols. Protocol Encryption in most of the torrent
clients helps to override this bandwidth shaping. Enable outgoing
protocol encryption and put a checkmark on Allow Incoming Legacy
Connections.
With protocol encryption, ISPs find it difficult if not impossible to
detect that the traffic is coming from BitTorrent. Experiment with
enabled, disabled and forced options because you could be getting better
speeds with encryption disabled. Non-encryption makes a torrent connection compatible with someone who is not using encryption but as a minus it makes the torrent detectable to an ISP with a bandwidth restricting policy.
