clever use of some skills, not only can BT applications get twice the result with half the effort, but also solve a lot of "difficulty".
do not know when to begin, to promote sharing of network resources, exchanges of culture has been agreed with the majority of users, so that the myriad and diverse emerging P2P software on the Internet and innovation. BT (abbreviation of BitTorrent) as the current popular P2P software, has been popular with the Internet since its birth, with its unique "charm" (with fast download speed, bandwidth sharing, etc.), winning thousands of dollars. The favor of computer enthusiasts. Although most of the current BT software is very simple to set up, it is very convenient to operate. However, if you can skillfully use some techniques, it can not only be used more often, but also solve many "difficult diseases".
Pay attention to hard disk damage
As we all know, BT download speed is faster and faster than conventional tools, in addition to its use of many different (one each) The PC is the client and the server, which blurs the concept of both, and fully mobilizes their respective network bandwidths for re-distribution.) In addition to the download mode, it also has a large feature with its download and upload data. relationship. One side believes that BT download will cause simultaneous reading and writing of the hard disk, which will have a negative effect on the life of the hard disk; while the other side has different opinions, they think that BT download is nothing more than normal read and write operations, as the life of the hard disk is shortened. There is no necessary connection with it. Regardless of the point of view, as a user, I hope that I can use the hard disk normally. Pay attention to some tips and tricks. The following methods do not ask for anything else, just ask BT users to feel at ease.
Cache settings
increased due to the use BT software will use multiple threads to download and upload, causing the hard disk to a lot of data throughput, while the Windows system by default only 512KB Cache in the This is not enough for BT software. Therefore, if conditions permit, you should increase the Cache settings. At present, the price of memory is quite cheap. Many friends have installed more than 512MB of memory in the system. We can increase the value of some Caches from this, which not only reduces the read/write frequency of the hard disk, but also improves the overall performance of the system. benefit. As for the specific number should be set according to the actual situation of the computer, in general, of course, the bigger the better, but according to the practice, it is better to set it at 16 to 32MB (this is when the memory is 512MB, it is larger or smaller than this capacity). Friends can make corrections accordingly). The specific operation method is:
Run the “regedit” command in the system to bring up the registry window and find the “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES- YSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory ManagementIoPage-LockLimit” string. If you do not find this string, you can create one yourself. And set the type to "Dword", as shown in Figure 1. Then according to the size of the memory on the machine, it is modified to a hexadecimal value, for example, 8000 is 32MB, 4000 is 16MB, and the calculation method is converted according to the formula of 10MB=10240K=2800 (hexadecimal), if not Knowing the relevant conversion calculation method, the final value can also be calculated by the system calculator (scientific type).
Everyone who has used BT downloads is very clear, although the BT download speed is very fast, but the system resources are also occupied. Many times, after downloading with BT on a system with a slightly lower machine configuration, and then running other programs, you will find that the response speed is much slower than the original. If you are using Windows 2000/XP, you can appropriately lower the priority of the BT software in the resource manager, so that even if it takes up system resources, it will not have much impact on the performance of other applications. The specific method is to use the "Ctrl-Alt-Del" key combination to start the "Windows Task Manager", in the "Process" tab, right click on the BT software process, select "Low" in the "Set Priority" menu or “Below the standard” (Figure 2).
Other Notes
Some friends use the broadband monthly package, so they use BT to download the file, but it is still for a long time (more than 12 hours) The BT software is turned on to act as a "seed." In this case, the number of file reads is of course more than normal, and the loss of the hard disk is naturally larger. Also, when using BT to download too many files at the same time, not only the bandwidth and resources are seriously occupied, but also the hard disk will be busy, and the heat is several times higher than usual. Therefore, for the consideration of protecting the hard disk, it is recommended not to download more than 3 files at the same time.
As mentioned above, with BT resume download a lot of software need to re-scan the downloaded file information, and then download the official. If you can shorten or eliminate this step, the damage to the hard disk will be greatly reduced. In this regard, some BT software has allowed this, such as Start Shareaza, so we must carefully select the BT software.
Rich download resources
BT is popular because we can find a wealth of movies, music and software resources. However, the distribution of these resources is very wide. In order to find the files we like, we can only frequently log in to various BT websites and forums, and then search them one by one. It is inefficient and does not waste a lot of time. At this point, it is best to use the BT search engine to find the files you need. At present, there are not many websites that provide BT search services on the Internet, and the popularity is very low. Take the BT search engine of gold BT (http://www.hjbt.net/) as an example. The webpage not only lists various BT resources, but also displays the update date of the file, related evaluation, and detailed results. Popularity and other content, through this information, which download address to choose, we basically have a good idea (Figure 3). It should be noted that due to the busyness of some BT publishing servers, sometimes the published information may not be very accurate. Therefore, you can still try to download the BT files with the number of seeds and the number of connections to 0. There may be unexpected surprises.
As we all know, the volume of movies and music MTV is usually very large. If you only download the files and then watch them, you will find that they are not what you want in your heart. Wasted energy? Can you sneak a sneak peek at the audio and video files before deciding whether to continue downloading? The answer is yes. However, there are some prerequisites. First, the completed file should be more than 20% complete (recommended in the range of 20% to 40%); secondly, the header information of the file is intact; the last is to use a dedicated player. This is very important, because the conventional video player can not open smoothly when it encounters incomplete audio and video files, especially files downloaded with BT. Currently, only the VLC media player (http://freshmeat.net/redir/vlc/36873/url_zip/vlc-0.6.0-win32.exe) is used exclusively for viewing BT file players that have not been downloaded. It allows you to view unformatted files in multiple formats, giving you control of the download in your own hands. In addition, we can also use fixvideo (http://ftp.ctgu.edu.cn/ftproot/media/mediamade/FixVideo.rar) to files that have not been downloaded, cannot be dragged or cannot be played (support divx, avi, Asf, wmv, wma, rm, rmvb and other formats) Simple and quick fix to solve your urgent needs.
Free control download speed
With BT download, of course, the faster the better, but we are not just using BT software, you may need to use IE to browse the web, use FlashGet to download software, even use QQ to expand video conversations and so on. If the valuable bandwidth is completely occupied by the BT software, then using other network tools, the network speed will become very slow, which is of course we do not want to see. Therefore, we can reasonably adjust the download speed of BT according to the usage at that time, so that we can make full use of network bandwidth, and can simultaneously perform other network activities and reduce the influence of each other. To control the download speed of BT, you can generally open the function setting window of the software and set the specific value (Figure 4). Of course, after setting, we can also make flexible changes, such as when you only need to perform QQ chat or temporarily leave the computer, increase the download speed to the maximum value, and then change to a smaller value when busy, so that work and entertainment can be made. Take care of both.
Unblock the BT port
If you find that using BT to download is very slow and eliminate hardware and line problems, you should look at 6881 Whether the -6889 port is blocked by the firewall or ISP. To understand the usage of these ports, you can use a simple test method: open a test page of
Electronics
(another P2P software) in Internet Explorer (http://www. Thedonkeynetwork.com/connection_test), then enter 6881, click the "test" button, if "timeout: timeout on ip 218.19.***.***(6 sec) this means, that we even did not receive a RESET signal ; maybe due to a 'stealth' firewall' message means the port is blocked. Then try a few other ports. If you get such a hint, then we only have to remove these obstacles.
Open the BT port in the firewall
If you have the built-in network firewall in Windows XP, we can open the "Control Panel" "Network Connections" window. Find the connection you use for the Internet, right-click with the mouse, select "Properties" from the pop-up menu, then click "Advanced" "Settings" "Add" button in the window, and then fill in the service description, local IP address respectively. (You can also write your machine name), port number, and then OK (remember to select the TCP protocol, as shown in Figure 5). Since the BT port is 6881-6890, and the above steps only complete the process of adding one port, it is necessary to add other ports one by one. For computers with other professional firewalls, we can also add ports according to the settings of each software "custom IP rules". For the related methods, please refer to the help instructions of each software.
Other solutions
At present, some ISPservers
have blocked 6881-6889 ports for various reasons, making their users unable to use them normally. BT software to download files, we can deal with it in two ways. Open the system's explorer, select "Tools", "Folder Options", "File Type" in the menu, find the extension of Torrent in the window, click the "Advanced" button (Figure 6). Click the "Edit" button in the window that opens, and then modify the command line parameters of the startup BT program in the edit window: add a space and control port binding parameter "-minport" at the end of the line (indicating Minimum port number), "-maxport" (highest port number), for example ""D:\\Program Files\\BitComet\\BitComet.exe" "%1" --minport 7201 --maxport 7304" (Figure 7), and finally Restart the BT software.
using a proxy server using a proxy server can also solve this problem, but requires BT software must support proxy function (such as BitComet, if not This function can also be used in conjunction with the sockscap software.) In addition, because BT's data traffic is large, it is difficult to find a stable and fast socks proxy server. If you have both of these conditions, it’s easy to break the blockade.
