This tutorial was done downloading dramas from d-addicts and using uTorrent. This works for most Bit Torrent sites and most Bit Torrent programs - it just may look a little different.

Once you have downloaded and installed uTorrent. Locate the file you want on d-addicts

 

 

 

 

 

 



Before you start make sure you understand the basics of bit torrenting. A very nice FAQ can be found HERE.

 

Hello, I guess I should ask this here. I'm wondering because utorrent seems doesnt work? It's been 2 days now. I've been downloading korean dramas at d-addicts.com before and I was shocked when I tried to download it to utorrent...didn't work!...any idea?

Please help...thanks in advance!

Are you trying to download an old torrent? How many seeds are there and how many leeches? I am currently seeding something at d-addicts and it appears to be working well. When you say it doesn't work, what is happening? Can you post a screenshot?

Aslo, this tutorial is for µTorrent 1.2. That is not the latest version of µTorrent. Maybe this weekend, I will update the tutorial.

 

Some torrents are seem to work now but some aren't. I downloaded some movies from ADC (Asian DVD Club) and I was wondering because the files are new and and have seeders....any idea?

This is just a sample of what happened. When I downloaded this file at d-addicts, it has like 5 seeders or something! I'm really confused now

Here's the screen shot:
 

ADC's server is offline right now. That would explain why you are having problems. I also noticed that you do not have the latest version of µTorrent.

Me? I think it is version 1.5

 

OK, I d/l'd 1.5.1 , and I am trying to figure out how to keep a consistently high download rate...
According to the FAQ's you linked to in post #1:

 


I've tried the "80% of the maximum rate observed" for the u/l rate and I've tried leaving it where the Speed Guide in the 'Options' menu sets the u/l rate, but the download rate only stays above 80kB/s for less than 2 hours then dives....It has been up to 140 and I'd like to keep it there...(right now it's down to 10)

The seeds 3(4) and peers 52(107) stay basically the same....

This client is notorious for that - the soaring and dipping. The best advice I can give you is this.....


µTorrent is like the Stock Market - it goes up and down but all that matters is that you are up at the end of the day.

 

Thanks, it's just depressing to see the ETA go from hours & minutes to days ...
But as long as it goes back down I guess it's good....

You also have to remember that the other leeches may not have their uploads set very high. Probably just high enough to keep a decent download. µTorrent is one of the few clients that will actually restrict your download based on your upload. Say you have your upload capped at 10k, µTorrent will not allow you to download much faster than 100k maybe even slower.

Once again, like the Stock Market, you will go nuts if you constantly watch it. Take Ron Popeil's advice - "Set it and forget it".

 

How about Bitlord? Does anyone here use this program?

My download is complete...


Should I change my upload limit to let it upload faster after it is done??

I have µTorrent set to seed at "0" (unlimited). If I downloading, then I have it set at 78k.

 

My cheapo DSL tops out at about 40 kB/s (u/l).....


Thanks for the info, everything worked....
Now I have something to watch while "Wolrd Crap" soccer is taking over the Chicago station....

Can I ask a question, since I only saw Bizarre Bunch, and since they aren't on d-addicts, what would you recommend would be good since I like BB that I can download off it?

Well Full house and My Name is Kim Sam Soon are both funny and you will probably enjoy them.

 

sounds good to me have karma ^o^ oh, and are the actresses that play Haein and Jongnam (can't think of their names other than their names are both Kim lol) in any other shows than BB because I like them lol

The actress who plays Jong Nam also plays in Emperor of the Sea.

Incidentally, EOTS, FH and MNKSS are all available thru the VC.

 

Okay, I'm done downloading Bittorrent but still doesn't work What am I doing wrong? I'm really frustrated now...Please help me

okay, I didn't like the torrent program I had because it seemed slow so I downloaded the one you mentioned, but it says it is being firewalled and the port is not open? How do I go about opening the port because I checked online but it was confusing and I didn't understand it.

lol And thankfully I don't have to worry about that. All I did was go into my firewall settings and allow µTorrent.exe

 

uTorrent is on the exception list but it says the port is closed

I have no clue how to do port forwarding, sorry.

 

http://www.portforward.com ... if you have a router (more than 1 computer connected to the internet) go to that site and look it up. it'll give you directions on how to forward ports on your router.

if it's just xp firewall and you are absolutely sure you dont have a router (ie verizon tends to send out dsl modem/router combos) then you just need to go into the settings for the program and select a smaller port range (currently its probably like 1024-6000 or something outrageously high) like 10001-10005 and then open those ports in your firewall (windows will tell you how with the help feature).

and u torrent doesnt generally need port forwarding since it tends to use just 1 port... which is also why its slower sometimes... although sometimes it's just the torrent going slow.

I can d/l , but my upload has stopped, (0.0 kb/s)

My fire wall has µTorrent as exception, Port check says right port is open and accepting connections, u/l limit is set to unlimited, (doesn't upload no matter where set),....


Am I missing something????

First off - your upload should be set at 80%. Mine is set to 82kbs.

Are you not uploading at all or just stopping & starting?

Stopping and starting is common. Remember what I said? Set it and forget it.

If it is not uploading at all - look at how many seeders as opposed to leeches in that torrent.
Check in settings. Do you have it set to upload only 1 or 2 copies?
Most trackers go after stable peers. If you shut down and start up often, you will be considered unstable. If both you and someone else have the needed pieces - the tracker will go to the more stable of the two of you.
