I have a 40Mbit/sec connection. 40Mbit/sec upload and download both. All the bit torrent calculators recommend a value of some seemingly insane number of connections...
What are some reasonable bittorrent settings for this type of connection connected to your average core i7 server running windows 2008 r2 connected to a linksys router?
Thanks
Your problem is the router. There is no way an "average linksys" is going to handle anywhere near the number of connections you are trying to run through it. That's the bottleneck.
Grab one of these, teach yourself the router configuration, and then maybe you'll be able to do it.
Who's your internet provider?!
Anyways, I'd recommend looking at the average speed you're downloading from a peer (uploading to you); let's say it's 1MB/s... then give it ~40-50 connections. IF it's 100KB/s, then try 400-500...
