Speed up your torrents II BitTorrent is the best tool for sharing files but you need to configure your client and your network the right way to get the best out of it. I will list some tips, tricks and guidelines in addition to the "speed up your torrents" and the "speed up bitcomet and uTorrent" posts. In order to apply these tips you need to know your maximum up- and download speed. You can test your bandwidth over here (stop all download activity while testing). Note that there’s a difference between kb/s (kilobits/second) and kB/s (kilobytes/second). Settings 1-4 can be found in the options, settings or preference tab of most torrent clients. 1. Probably one of the most important setting there is. Use the following formula to determine your optimal upload speed… for relatively fast connections (upload >20 kB/s) upload speed * 85% so if your maximum upload speed is 40 kB/s, the optimal upload rate is Slower connections (upload <20 kB/s) need a little more space so I use this formula upload speed * 75% 2. 3. 4. 5.

News Today marks the tenth anniversary of the first release of Syllable Desktop, then plainly called Syllable 0.4.0. The original website and announcement are gone, and many other circumstances of the time have changed quite dramatically. We are happy that Syllable is still here - which, judging by comparable ventures, is a feat to be proud of. We would like to celebrate by presenting the port of most of the Enlightenment E17 graphics stack to Syllable Desktop. The Enlightenment Foundation Libraries constitute a cross-platform application framework, from a graphics engine up to a widget set and a desktop environment. The Evas canvas is a scene graph rendering engine. On top of the canvas engine is the Edje layout engine. A number of subsystems that are common in other open source projects have been ported to Syllable Desktop to support Enlightenment. Enlightenment is an integrated stack. This graphics stack is running on top of the SDL subsystem in Syllable.
