<p>Read these tips for <a href="Speed.html">maximizing your download speed</a>.
|

<p>Some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) throttle peer-to-peer traffic, and even block it completely on well known peer to peer ports. If your ISP is listed on <a href="http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Bad_ISPs">this page</a>, it is likely you will experience these issues.
|
||||
<p> Transmission's encryption feature may overcome any ISP throttling. Checking the 'Ignore unencrypted peers' box (Prefs >> Advanced) also may improve your speed further, at the expense of losing some potential peers in the swarm. Changing the port Transmission uses might help if the ISP targets particular ports.

<p>Ultimately, the speed you get depends on the quality of the peers you are downloading from. If they have dial up connections, you are only going to be able to download at dial up speeds.
|
||||
Furthermore, if there are few seeds and many peers, more people will be fighting for the same scarce pieces which will slow things down.

<p>Transmission encrypts the connections it makes with other peers when necessary, using the RC4 cipher. The implementation is compatible with other clients such as Azureus and µTorrent. It is always enabled, however you can set Transmission (Preferences >> Advanced) to prefer encrypted peers, or only accept encrypted peers.

|

<p>Note that the latter option may make Transmission unconnectable in some swarms. The encryption feature does not mean your session is secure or anonymous, it is merely a way to avoid the traffic shaping measures some ISPs have implemented.

<p><i>Global maximum connections</i> (Preferences >> Advanced) is the total number of peers that Transmission will connect to across all of your transfers. Connections per torrent can also be adjusted here, as well as in the Inspector.

<p>It is recommended that these values are left at their default setting, as allowing too many connections will severely hinder web browsing and other online activities, as well as possibly crashing your router. Increase this value at your own risk!

<h1>How do I Port Forward?</h1>

<ul>
<li>If you have an Apple Airport, or a UPnP compatible router, Transmission can map its port automatically. Most routers manufactured since 2001 have this feature.
<div summary="To do this" id="taskbox">
<ol>
<li>Open Transmission. </li>
<li>Go to Preferences >> Advanced, and check 'Automatically map port'. </li>
<li>If you get a green dot and 'Port is Open' then you have successfully port forwarded!</li>
<p>If you get a red dot and the message 'Port is closed'/'Port is Stealth', <a href="troubleshoot.html">click here</a>.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<li>If you don't have a compatible router, it is simple to forward Transmission's port manually. For instructions <a href="pfrouter.html">click here</a>.</li>
<li>If you don't use a router, that is, your modem is directly connected to your computer, you'll need to open Transmission's port in the Mac OS X firewall. For instructions <a href="pffirewall.html">click here</a>.<br>
<b>NB:</b> it is highly recommended you enable the Mac OS X firewall if you are not using a router.</li>
</ul>
<p>Keep in mind that many DSL modems also function as routers, and hence port forwarding as per above may still be necessary, even though your computer is directly connected to the modem.
