So I was just downloading free non-copyrighted material over BitTorrent, and I was having issues with this one file...it was just DLing really slowly. So I went in and tweaked some of the BitTorrent settings under Banwidth and then Number of Connections specifically. After setting Global Max Number of Connections to 500 and Max Number of Connected Peers per Torrent to 200, I went back to check on the problem file's download speed...
It was climbing fast, the speed was jumping up in increments of 100KB/s, and then it hit 1MB/s, which is about the max I can usually pull down on BitTorrent, but this time it just kept going.
Can you network guys tell me if the settings I've changed should have produced this effect, or if it was just a coincidence that this happened right after making the changes.
