The torrent client does not always work to the limit of its capabilities. In order to bring your download speed closer to the maximum, you should pay attention to a number of factors that affect the speed.
Instructions
Step 1
Update your torrent client to the most current stable version. Errors in outdated versions can negatively affect, among other things, the download speed of files. Therefore, the fresher the client, the less likely it is to cut speed due to technical problems.
Step 2
Add uTorrent client to your firewall exceptions list. If you are using the firewall built into your operating system, it is best to disable it, as it can limit download speed due to poor peer-to-peer compatibility.
Step 3
Make sure that the incoming channel is not clogged by downloading an update for any program. Some of the programs by default do not ask the user for permission and begin to update themselves, so you need to change this option in the settings, setting the manual update mode.
Step 4
Leave a message in the topic of the distribution you need. Ask those who have already downloaded the file to continue seeding. Sometimes the slow download speed from the torrent tracker is simply due to the lack of a sufficient number of seeds with a high outgoing connection speed.
Step 5
Disable your antivirus or temporarily deactivate the option to check the traffic downloaded via the torrent client. Such a check consumes a lot of system resources, which leads to a decrease in speed. It is also better to suspend the firewall while downloading.
Step 6
Use a local forum or any other in-network communication tool. Perhaps among the users of your network there are those who have already downloaded the file you need before. Ask them to stand up for the distribution. If such a seed appears, the torrent client will be able to download the file at a speed limited not by your Internet tariff, but by the maximum bandwidth of the local network, which is usually equal to one hundred megabits per second.
