Port Forwarding = Yes, otherwise external-initiated inbound connections will not be successful, hence you are limited to those connections that are open/initiated from your end.I understand that torrents require more seeds for faster downloading, besides this, must I do anything (e.g. port forwarding) to enhance the dl speed? appreciate any advice. using vuze.
Bandwidth/Capacity Settings = NEVER set 100% of your subscribed plan's speed for the downstream and upstream bandwidth/capacity settings in any torrent clients. There are other traffics such as dns, packet acknowledgement, etc that need to flow through, else it affects your torrent's performance. Personally, I set 80-90% of my plan's max speed, that leaves 10-20% for other traffics to flow.
You should be able to hit 80% or more of your VQ subscribed plan's downstream speed on popular torrents, or those with very good ultra-high speed seeds.
