I have spend hours of my time learning it... Basically, you should get a good torrent first, I noticed that good and healthy torrents really have faster download speeds. ( Good torrent usually has many seeders, good tracker and less peers). NAT problems really sucks me at first, I am using a router and so I have to configure my router in order to make this problem dissapear... After that, again I have to edit my Lan TCP/IP to allow Azureus from being block by the Windows firewall. And it is a very good feelings when all the yellow faces turn GREEN SMILEY FACES! You should FIX your NAT(Network Adressing Translation) in order to have faster download speed. Lastly, your setting. Setting really plays a role in determining your download speed... And one thing I notice i you should choose the local bandwidth tester rather than somewhere far from your location, this applies for those using ADSL connection. Check with your ISP, they should have bandwidth tester, look for your upload speed, and later just follow the tabe or contact AzBot in the IRC. LAst, Azureus ROCKS!! I am a new Azureus user.

Things are constantly being written to the hard drive, file space being allocated, file contents verification and more. If you use Azureus for BitTorrent you can help out your hard drive by going to Preferences/Options » Files » Performance Options. Enabling disk caching is a must for Azureus users utilizing a 2.5″ or smaller laptop-style hard drive, such as in a Mac Mini, which tends to get overworked rather easily. By default, hard disk caching is enabled, but only to 4MB. You should boost this to somewhere around 16 to 24MB, depending on how powerful your system is. Azureus warns that anything over 32MB is probably overkill.

For those of you who’ve been living under a rock or hunting Bigfoot in South America for the past few years, BitTorrent now accounts for roughly 50% of all internet traffic by some estimates. This has given cause to many ISPs and universities to throttle torrent bandwidth substantially (substantially is Greek for unfairly, or was it geek?). I, for one, do not welcome our new bandwidth throttling overlords (Yeah, it was definetly geek, not Greek). Now I can understand the MPAA’s FUD about sharing copywrited material so on and so forth- BitTorrent’s earned itself a bad stigma, but why should I have to suffer? Thanks to Azureus now I don’t, and neither do you! As of version 2.4 of of everyone’s favorite Java BitTorrent client, Azureus now supports end to end encryption of file transfers. This means the traffic that your service provider once saw as naughty (regardless of legality) is now gobbledegook, which is officialy A-OKAY by them. Say goodbye to 3.2kb/s downloads!
