Without any doubt, Halite is currently my favorite torrent client. Halite is a powerful and simple (in fact, too simple) torrent client, based on libtorrent library. The best thing is, Halite can bypass TMNet traffic shaping.

Below are my Halite configuration. These settings helps me to achieve maximum download speed (well, it also depends on the torrent itself, seeder and peer count)

You can follow all the settings above, except for 'Global Upload Rate' (1) in 'Torrents' tab. For this, I recommend you use 70% from your maximum upload speed.

For example, I use Streamyx 1.0Mbps, my maximum upload speed is 384kbps = 48kBps. 70% from 48 is 33 something. For Streamyx 512kbps users, set the 'Global Upload Rate' value to 23kBps, and for Streamyx 384kbps users, set it to 13.

For ADSL, utilizing all upload speed while downloading will slow your downloads. So we will need to give some room to the upstream in order to achieve maximum download speed. Make sure you only run 3-5 torrent download task. Most torrent client will upload to you more if you upload to them, so we need to maximize the upload rate to each torrent downloads.

P2P users should have their tcpip.sys patched. I recommend this patch for Windows XP and Vista (x86, x64, with and without service packs). Unpatched tcpip.sys will only allowed you to have 10 half open connections (half open connection is a 'connecting in progress' connection).

How to CREATE a torrent in Halite?

Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 03/19/2008 - 08:32.

Hello, using halite instead of uTorrent and works very well! As I upload sometimes my own torrents I have to create also them. I see no feature in Halite to CREATE them, do I overlook or is this feature not available. I'm using 0_3_0_4 dev 386
Send reply to radiomaffiaATyahoo.com with Subject Halite if you have any idea pls. I do not come here very often.
Regards ERiK

Unfortunately, Halite don't

Unfortunately, Halite don't have the option to create torrent. You need to use other torrent client to do that.

I've posted a reply in Halite's own thread in LYN forums. I hope you won't mind that I've placed the linky there. Thank you for sharing :D

You have forgot to mention

You have forgot to mention about Half Open connections for Halite. Half Open connections only apply if you have patched tcpip for your OS.

And also, max number of connections shouldnt be left to infinity. It will slow down your download rate too.

Yes. P2P users should have

Yes. P2P users should have their tcpip.sys patched. I recommend this patch for Windows XP and Vista (x86, x64, with and without service packs).

So far, I don't have any problems with unlimited maximum connections. From my test, my download speed will be slowed down if I set the upload slot unlimited (global and per torrent). If you experiencing slow download with maximum connection set to unlimited, try change the 'per torrent' maximum connection value to 100 or 200.
