The principles are the same for any torrent client, as far as I know. You will want to adjust some settings along these lines: * In the ktorrent Preferences (Settings - Configure ktorrent ) , set your Maximum upload rate to about 80% (or slightly less) of your upstream maximum . Restricting upload slightly will ensure that you don't choke yourself by saturating your upload pipe - but keep the upload rate as high as you can within that 80% or so . * Use non-standard ports - in other words, don't use 6881. Choose something in the high range randomly - something like 45678 or 59876 or whatever. Make sure you adjust port forwarding accordingly, of course. Ktorrent uses a separate UDP port so that needs forwarding too (All this assuming UPnP doesn't "work" for you - but personally I just set the port forwarding manually) I don't see an adjustment for "maximum upload slots per torrent" in ktorrent. Azureus and several other clients allow this to be adjusted too. Although some of the advice on the following URL is Azureus-specific, reading it will give you a better general overview of torrent settings: <a href="http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Azureus_FAQ">http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Azureus_FAQ</a> The page has quite a few links, the most useful of which is probably <a href="http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Good_settings"> http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Good_settings</a> Peter -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> -- :====================================================:.
