How to get faster downloads on

uTorrent
Speed Up uTorrent With Faster Torrent
Trackers
Seeders are those who have already downloaded the torrent and are now in
the process of allowing others to download it. Peers are those who are still
downloading the torrent. Peers can share the torrents too, but are only able to
share what they have finished downloading.

When you add new trackers, it will add new seeds and peers. This can mean
faster download speeds. Since the trackers close frequently and change a lot,
adding new open trackers is critical for getting the best download speeds.

To do this, open the torrent with uTorrent. Begin the download, checking to

see the speed under the tab called “Down Speed.” Right click on the name of
the download, then select “Properties.” Find “Trackers” and paste the
trackers you can copy off here. Choose “OK.” Soon, additional seeders and
peers will show up, and your download speed could increase when that
happens.

Speed Up uTorrent Downloads by Allotting

More Bandwidth to the Torrent
When you are downloading multiple torrents at the same time, you can allot
more bandwidth to the one that you want to finish faster. Simply right click on
the file that you want to download the fastest. Hover the mouse pointer over
the selection “Bandwidth Allocation.”
On the side menu, choose the option, “High.” Now, go through this process
with the other torrents that are downloading, only set those to “Low” instead
of “High.”

Speed Up uTorrent by Changing Additional

Bandwidth Settings
You can also increase uTorrent download speeds by using the
bandwidth settings. In order to do this, choose the selection
named “Options.” Click on “Preferences.” Then find the tab
marked “Bandwidth.” Use these parameters:

 Set the maximum upload rate to 14.

 Set the maximum download rate to 1800.
 Set the global maximum number of connections to 2329.
 Set the maximum number of connected peers per torrent to 257.
 Set the number of upload slots per torrent to 14.

Speed Up uTorrent by Connecting Directly to

the Seeds
The seeder’s firewall settings can often inhibit the seeding process, meaning
you aren’t getting any download data on some seeders. It isn’t necessary to
reconfigure the seeder’s firewall settings, however. What you can do instead is
to allow your uTorrent client to receive the data directly with no firewalls to
interfere.

To set this up, choose the selection marked “Options” and then

choose “Preferences.” Go to the option marked “Connections” and check
to see that the option “Enable UPnP Port Mapping” is checked. This
option allows you to avoid the firewall and connect directly with the seeder,
speeding up the download process.

Count the number of Seeds before you

download
In general, the higher the number of seeds listed for a torrent, the faster it will
be. If there are more people “seeding” a file, uTorrent has more options for
finding the fastest combination of downloads. When comparing two or more
different torrents of the same content, you almost always want to choose the
one with the most seeds.

Download via a direct, wired Internet

connection
We’ve all become used to the convenience of Wi-Fi, but a wireless connection
can be dramatically slower than a direct, or wired, ethernet connection. If you
have the option, plug your computer directly into your modem or router with
an ethernet cable to get the fasted possible download speed.

Don’t queue up too many torrents at once

Sometimes downloading torrents can feel like being a kid in a candy shop.
Everything looks wonderful, and you want to grab it all. But loading up too
many items into your download queue at once will slow all of them down. You
can manage the number of active downloads in the queue section of your
preferences and set it to “1” to force one-by-one downloading of your torrents.

Of course, your internet speed is also a contributing factor to how quickly you

are able to download torrent files. If your speeds are really slow, talk to your
internet provider about a faster service package.
