Yay, we are at the interesting part already: Type in your upload cap in the first box. Don't know what your upload cap should be? No problem: ISPs tend to state your download/upload in kilobits and not in kilobytes. Since 8 Bits are 1 Byte, divide the number with 8 to get your speeds. Then substract 3-4 kb/s and you got your ideal upload cap. Let me clarify that with my connection: 768kbit/s / 128kbit/s equals 96kb/s download and 16kb/s upload. Substract 3-4kb/s and we get 12-13kb/s as ideal upload cap. Easy, isn't it? Note that substracting 3-4kb/s is necessary because you'll send confirmation packets for every packet you download. If you use your maximum upload, there is no bandwith left to send these confirmation packets, you therefore lose download speed. If you are seeding however, there is no reason why you shouldn't upload with your maximum bandwith. (This turned out to be a rather long paragraph...)

Type in your download cap in the second box (usually left at 0)
In the third and forth box you can type in your maximum number of connections per torrent and globally, respectively. If you got a stable connection like mine, you can leave it at 0/0. If your computer gets too slow and/or your download drops with lots of peers connected, try this:75/300. This allows you to have 4 active torrent with 75 peers each.
Check Prioritize first piece of file(s) because video files can be previewed if you got the first and the last parts. Useful, ne?

Remember how I said that Azureus is aggressive in finding seeds and peers? (I most likely forgot to write that, but please pretend I said it )
This tab is the reason why: Tracker client poll interval (secs) If you want Azureus to speed up with connecting to peers/seeds, you can change the numbers here. For instance Minimum 60 Maximum 300 will check every 5min for new peers/seeds regardless to how many you are connected already. But please remember: Do not set the maximum interval too low, or Azureus will hammer the tracker which is not a good thing to do. In the worst case, this might get every Azureus client banned! (So use my configuration if possible which is already tweaked!)

Not really much to say here since everything is self-explanatory.

Q: How do I download only specific files from a batch?
A: Follow the instructions of How do I prioritize torrents? and prioritize the files you do not want to be downloaded as "Do not download"

Q: How do I install Plugins?
A: Download them here. Extract them in you Azureus\Plugins folder. Please note that the plugins are already zipped in that format: Plugins\{Name of plugin}, so make sure that you don't unpack them in Azureus\Plugins\Plugins accidently. In the case of SafePeer, you don't have to configure it since it updates the IP ranges automatically. To confirm if your Plugin is correctly installed, check out Screenshot1 for SafePeer and/or the Plugins Tab in the Configuration.
