The spirit of the Internet is free. Now, more and more people from the Internet to obtain a variety of application resources, such as HDTV video and other documents. And BT is the first choice to share. In the campus dormitory, if you disregard everyone's internet, blindly use BT, is sure to be blamed. The primary reason for this is that it has a large footprint on the overall network bandwidth. The second is that if the router is older, it may not be able to continue to carry out the heavy download tasks such as BT.
Prior to the test we have been able to prove that Alpha GR50 and GR55 are capable of performing "7x24 hours" Non-stop BT under the task of the wireless router. Even so, though, BT downloads have little impact on the exchange of data between local networks, but they can have a significant impact on the internet's upper and lower bandwidth. So, how to keep BT download, while also try not to affect the local network bandwidth?
1. Sharing the computer in the dormitory due to BT download damage to the hard disk
As we all know, BT download will cause damage to the hard disk, this is because before BT download will first in the hard disk buffer to write and download the file capacity of a mirrored file, and then fill the method to write data, when the filling process is finished, the download process is completed. Each download, the software also needs to check all the blocks to calculate, and this is a considerable consumption of resources and wear hard disk, if the download upload process and then the other hard disk reading and writing operations, the hard drive may appear early bad way. However, we can increase the size of the hard disk cache file to reduce the number of BT to write to the hard disk, so as to reduce the hard disk read and write head and disc loss role. Also pay attention to the use of BT Software as far as possible to avoid the hard disk to do other reading and writing operations, many friends are accustomed to the night and night to download files. So, our suggestion is that when you need to use a computer, it is best not to download BT. This is one of the ways to avoid hard disk overload.
However, when the dormitory set up a wireless network, only need a PC for BT download. When the download is complete, it is a great pleasure to share it with other members of the dormitory network. It also avoids the waste of resources caused by downloading one software at a time. And this can be counted as a localized "BT Spirit". More to avoid a number of hard drives at the same time BT download caused by multiple hard drives in the bedroom are in BT state and be lost. (Computer science)
2. How to reduce the consumption of BT network bandwidth in the dormitory
Because the principle of BT work is "multi-point C to C download", that is to say the number of users involved, the speed of individual users to download faster, but in practice, many users in order to avoid the system resources are too much occupied and based on security considerations, generally upload speed has been the corresponding restrictions, Sometimes, even after the end of their own download to close BitTorrent immediately, so that the number of "seeds" will be fewer and less, thus affecting the download speed of other users, and sometimes even because of the "seed" number is zero and can not download, which is the user complained that BT download speed is not fast reason. Our suggestion is: You can limit the bandwidth, because the uplink bandwidth has a greater impact on the speed of the network. The principle of BT to do is "would rather limit bandwidth, do not close BitTorrent" especially in the dormitory network, BT the bandwidth occupied very large. Not only should the uplink speed be restricted, but the downward speed should be limited. To avoid affecting other people's network applications.
Alpha GR55 Game Broadband wireless router is a wireless router that can work 7x24 hours continuously (representing the day and night running without shutdown). The number of computers in the dormitory can be "you on my next" way of alternating BT download, so as to ensure that the entire bedroom bandwidth impact minimized. Although, a lot of people do bt download does not affect the connection stability of the wireless router. There is also a way to allow several computers at the same time to download BT.
However, bandwidth limitations must be done. For example, download bandwidth is limited to 20K, and upload bandwidth is limited to 10K. In this way, even 8 or so computers in the BT download, will not affect the network bandwidth too much. At the same time, this is also a very efficient BT download. We can call it ant tactics. In theory, alpha GR55 even in 16 computers at the same time BT download.
3. Network security
BT download software belongs to the background operation of the port open software, whether the download or upload files, there are a great deal of illegal intrusion, secret leaks and other hidden dangers, easily lead to hacker programs or Trojan attacks, so the system installed anti-virus software and firewall software is essential. As we all know, routers have a certain virus protection function. However, it is much weaker than the anti-virus software or firewalls installed on the PC platform that can be updated at any time. In fact, for campus LAN, a computer virus, the result is disastrous. After all, everyone's computer application level is uneven.
