Recommended Azureus Settings

Viper007Bond · June 19th, 2004, 09:46 AM

Since Azureus has the really cool feature of being able to auto-start torrents depending on a set of circumstances, I thought I'd write up a good set of them. The following are for my 26 KB/sec up and down connection - tweak it to fit your's.

After you are done downloading, the torrent will move down into the seeding area. If you wish to move or rename the downloaded file to a different location than it downloaded to, then stop and delete the torrent from Azureus, move/rename the file and then click this icon:

Go get the torrent again from either this site or off your computer. Azureus caches it's torrents to (on XP at least):

Code:

C:\Documents and Settings\Your Account Name\Application Data\Azureus\torrents

and then go find the file. It should then check the file to make sure it's downloaded and the right one and then seed.

Now for the configuration. Open it here: View -> Configuration

Transfer

http://gear.viper007bond.com/images/azureus/azureus_settings_1.png

Global max upload speed - set this to 80% of your real max upload speed
Default max upload slots per torrent - you should set this so that each person is getting about 6-8 KB/sec
Maximum number of connections per torrent - see next item
Maximum number of connections globally - setting this too high will result in a lower download speed (Azureus will spend too much bandwidth monitoring everyone else) and setting it too low will also result in a slower download speed as you won't be connecting to a lot of people

Queue

http://gear.viper007bond.com/images/azureus/azureus_settings_2.png

Max simultaneous downloads - set this to whatever you want
Max active torrents - set this to 1 or 2 more than the above (depending on your upload speed)

Queue -> Seeding

Just set as shown.

Queue -> Seeding -> Auto-Starting

Timed rotation - this will make it just keep rotating through the torrents that need seeding (it will seed each torrent for the "Minimum seeding time in seconds" that was set above)
Auto Start all completed torrents with 0 peers - Uh, fuck if I remember what this does - I think it just starts torrents that have no peers

Queue -> Seeding -> First Priority

http://gear.viper007bond.com/images/azureus/azureus_settings_5.png

Just set as shown.

Queue -> Seeding -> Ignore Rules

http://gear.viper007bond.com/images/azureus/azureus_settings_6.png

This is the most important set of settings. These determine what torrents need seeding. The only thing that you may need/want to change from my screenshot is the "Ignore torrents that have at least 1 seed for every [ ] peers" depending on your connection speed (set it to 4 or 5 for a slower connection, 1 or 2 for a faster one).

Yeah, ABC is good, but I like Azureus 'cause I can have all of the torrents on this site sitting in my seeding area, but it'll only seed the torrents that need seeding. images/smilies/smile.gif

bahnstormer · June 20th, 2004, 04:29 PM

that IS handy for a big distributor like u or sith
us little guys though with our puny 16kb uploads
well =\

Viper007Bond · June 20th, 2004, 09:36 PM

Yeah, but my upload is only 25 KB/sec, so I have it set to only seed 1 torrent at a time and rotate through the ones that need seeding.

But I also posted this publicly hoping that others who use Azureus would follow the trend. images/smilies/wink.gif

ranger_dood · February 27th, 2005, 02:22 AM

I'd like to follow your lead, but I'm just getting red-x's on your pics. images/smilies/oops.gif

Viper007Bond · February 27th, 2005, 02:40 AM

Yeah, lost the images. images/smilies/sad.gif

Really want me to remake them?

ranger_dood · February 27th, 2005, 03:38 AM

Well.. I just wanted to make sure that I have Azureus set up properly to best use my outgoing bandwidth...

Up to you if you want to remake them. It'd be more work than I'd be willing to put forth images/smilies/smile.gif

dru · March 28th, 2005, 09:03 AM

Good guide here .. will help anyone seeding images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

BTW if u have less upload then 20 kb ... i am recommend to seed only 1 torrent at
the time ... for the long time - it will help the traffic speed ...

Viper007Bond · March 28th, 2005, 10:08 AM

I should unsticky this since I lost the images...

swek · March 28th, 2005, 10:30 AM

Viper007Bond · March 28th, 2005, 10:32 AM
