Software Firewall - The permission should be set to allow TCP and UDP in both directions. However, there are guides available, on the internet for most firewalls and routers and this guide will link you to them. Note that does not have guides specific to Deluge. Choose a µTorrent guide and substitute Deluge where µTorrent is indicated. If you are "firewalled", then other people will not be able to initiate connections with you (see Why Is Being Firewalled Bad).Īs there are many firewalls and routers, this guide can not give explanations as to each. All software firewalls will block incoming communications and most will also block outgoing communications, unless an exception is made. Windows users, if you want to make certain there is no conflict. Go to the command prompt and type in netstat -a >c:\log.txt This will check to see which ports are being used and save a log text file at C:\. Looking at the text file, you will know which ports to avoid.Ī router will block incoming communications unless an exception is made.

The safest choice is a port in the 49160-65534 range as this will avoid ISP blocks and possible conflicts with other applications. This range used to be 49152-65534, but apparently Vista and Windows 7 grabs some of those ports in between. (If your port was in this range, change and re-test). This was the range originally used by bittorrent programs and is often blocked by Internet Service Providers (ISPs). If you failed the port test above, then you should first set your port to a proper one. The most important choice here is to avoid using a port within the 6881-6999 range. You can see the port used by Deluge at Edit>Preferences>Network. All boxes for incoming and outgoing should have the same numbered port and the "Use Random Ports" options should be unticked. You can also test the port within Deluge by pressing the "Test Active Port" button. To avoid messing up a network connection that is already cleared, first check and see if your communications are blocked or are already clear. Have Deluge running while testing the port.Ĭlick to Test Your Port Success-just go to Adjusting Internal Settings. Parts of this guide involve accessing the Options screens of Deluge. The Options screens can be accessed through "Edit" (then Preferences) in the menus on the upper left of Deluge or through the Options icon up top in Deluge. If you are not using Deluge, there are several other specific guides for other clients and a general guide here:

I have seen it said, by the developers of all bittorrent programs, that nothing will increase your download speed in a bittorrent client more than the basic steps set forth herein. There are some programs that claim to optimize speed in Deluge. Such programs are a scam and generally contain adware or spyware.

Adjust internal settings based upon upload capacity of the internet connection to allow room for outgoing communications and to distribute upload efficiently.Â.Forward that port through any software firewall and router to allow incoming connections.Choose a proper port to avoid ISP blocks and conflicts with other programs.These are the basic principles of optimizing a bittorrent client, like Deluge, for speed:Â

Following these simple steps should result in increased download speed. There are no secret tricks, just the real basics of proper set up of a bittorrent program. This guide was put together using information given by the developers of bittorrent programs at their forums, guides and FAQs. All bittorrent programs need to have their incoming and outgoing communications flow freely in order to achieve the highest download speeds and that is what this guide is about.
