Hahah, right on Nothinman. I have seen both of those links, and honestly unless you are very new/noobish to bittorrent, those pages don't give you much at all. I mean where the hell does that guy in the first link come up with those formulas? Any of the more "advanced" settings have no explanation about them, heh. Some of the replies: "OMG SWEET, my torrentz goes fast!!"
I dunno, I guess some things are just obvious to me. But as Nothinman said, generally having the port forwarded will do enough (but you must visit portforward.com, it's very complicated to forward). Sure you can tweak it out some, but don't do anything stupid. Today, I set the new uTorrent 1.6 to a 2mbit connect since I have a 5mbit download connect. The default upload was just ridiculous. I guess maybe it should've specified if your upload was synced with your download which is rare anyway. And the max # of connections was like 750?? Yeah, find me a router capable of handling anywhere near that! You can get several hundred k/s download with quite minimal settings as long as your ports are forwarded. No need to fvck around with sh*t you have no clue about (like a lot of these guides).
