I cannot take credit for these values I found them on another site where they were using the WDTV box and install rtorrent on it. I increase the Max _memory_usage a bit since the WDTV only has 128M memory while I believe the PBO has 256M of memory (not sure on that though). Anyhow those setting works good for me.
