Tweaking Xunlei 迅雷 – Thunder Guide

October20

There are several ways where you can tweak Xunlei 迅雷 for better download speed. The things that you can do to speed up your Thunder Xunlei download speed are as following:

1. Port Forwarding the ports that stated in your xunlei for both TCP and UDP. To see what’s your TCP and UDP ports are of your Xunlei, go to tools and then option, go to BT and look for the ports(the words are in chinese). For guide of port forwarding, visit www.portforward.com.

2. Uncheck UPnP under the same place(tools -> option -> BT).

3. Set your upload speed below the speed you can get. For example, if your package support 512kbps of upload speed, set it to 40-45kb/s.

4. DOWNLOAD ONE FILE AT A TIME. This is the most obvious tweak. You may see a great change of speed after you stop a several tasks and let only one of them run it.

5. Since it work as a http header, some people claim that forwarding port 80, 8080 and 21 are the best because there is no other http browser using ports beside these 3 ports. I personally don’t feel any differences of this tweak.

6. If you are using Windows XP, set your TCP half open connection to around 100 so that more connections are allowed to connect through your pc. Google “TCP half open connection” for more details.

Good Luck and enjoy downloading!

My status: Busy, busy and busy.

October10

To all my loyal readers, especially for Lum, Dong or whoever else likes this blog, I would like to let you know that my status currently is quite busy as I’m having my study in APIIT college.

So, I will try my best in writing one post each day to let you fulfill your free time here with something that meet your interests. To be honest, the main purpose is to tie your heart to mine. smiley

I’m not thinking to do this blog commercially yet because this blog will be full of “rojak” type of information, and a place where we can enjoy when we have nothing to do.

Therefore, when you have nothing to do or feel boring at home or any other places, visit Alvinlife.com! You may find something interest to make yourself happy. smiley

September29

For the past few months after the crashing of the database server of my previous hosting provider, I didn’t know what to do with this domain, alvinlife.com because all the things I have done previously completely gone. That was quite hurt and has taught me a lesson – I should do backup gradually!

I am still not sure about the topics that will be covered, but mostly on blogging experiences, IT stuffs and interesting news. Certain tips, guidelines and advices will be included within every post in Alvinlife.com as to provide a more interesting environment for the readers. I believe my honesty will grasp your heart towards Alvinlife.com smiley. I’m not talking too much about my life because I believe nobody would be interested in reading my life XD …
