Is your torrent download speed slow? Don’t worry cause we have got you covered. Here, we have written a comprehensive guide on how
to increase your torrent downloading speed.
Using torrent clients is one of the most popular ways to share files over the web. There are many popular torrent sites to do the job.
While there are just minimal basic settings needed to run these clients, there are some tweaks for more advanced users.
Before you proceed with our guide on increasing torrent download speed. Learn more about how torrents work and are these illegal

How to increase BitTorrent download speed using simple steps?
To increase the torrent download speed, you can always find plenty of good ways online. In this article, we are trying to provide you
with all those methods and tips in a single place. Take a look:
1. Install a Lightweight Torrent Client
To increase the torrent downloading speed, the very first step you need to follow is to install a lightweight torrent client. Although
BitTorrent is one of the most popular torrent clients around, it comes with lots of bloated apps and other features. So, I prefer uTorrent
most for hassle-free and faster torrent downloading. You can also install qBittorrent since it’s another lightweight torrent client.
The reason for using a lightweight torrent client is that it only focuses on downloading torrents and speeds up the transfer rate. utorrent
and qBittorrent are available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
You can also refer our list of best torrent clients for Mac, Windows, and Android. And if you are interested in checking out alternatives to
uTorrent in details here!
2. Choose a Healthy Torrent to Increase Torrent Download Speed
For choosing a healthy torrent, first, you need to understand the concept of seeder and leecher. These two terms always confuse the
new torrent enthusiast, so, here I will try to clear your doubts in simple language.
A seeder is one who has the complete copy of the file shared across the network which you intend to download. However, a leecher is
one who does not have the complete copy of file and has joined the network to download the file. Once a leecher downloads the file
completely, he/she will become a seeder.
For a high torrent download speed, the number of seeders should be higher than the number of leechers. The more is the number of
seeders, the healthier your torrent will be. So, while choosing a torrent, make sure that the seeder-leecher ratio is high.
3. Add an Exception to Windows Firewall
Windows Firewall can block your torrent client or you can say your incoming BitTorrent connections. So, adding an exception to the
Windows firewall will be a good option to boost torrent downloading speed. First, navigate to Options> Preferences>
Connections, now check the Add Windows Firewall exception box and then click Apply.
(Check Enable UPnP port mapping in case it’s unchecked).
Warning: Do not shut down Windows Firewall permanently as it leaves your PC open to attack.
4. Change General Settings to Optimize uTorrent
To increase the speed of your torrent, make sure you have the best uTorrent settings configured on your machine. All the three options
that are shown in the figure below should be checked.
To find these options, navigate to Options> Preferences> General then check Append .!ud to incomplete files and Pre-allocate all
files. Usually, the third option is already checked but if it’s not, check that too.
5. Limit Your Global Upload and Download Rate
You can also speed up your torrent downloading on clients like qBitTorrent, BitTorrent, uTorrent, etc., by limiting the upload and
download rate. But first, you should understand the fact that torrents breathe the uploading done by users.
So, turning it completely off, or setting it as 1kB/s, would not be a wise option. But, at the same time, you don’t want your upload rate to
set it as the maximum (‘0’ stands for unlimited) as it can choke down your own connection.
Setting upload rate to about 70-80% of your maximum upload speed would be a great option to speed up torrenting. Whereas, you can
keep the download rate 0, as it is considered as maximum. To configure these options navigate to Proprties> Bandwidth, then set the
Global Upload Rate Limit as 80% your max upload.
6. Change the Number of Connections
Once you’ve set the upload/download rate, you can now change the number of connections to avoid any overload. Although, if you do
hit and trial with the settings you might get a better result. But, for those who aren’t very much sure, I can suggest you some rough
numbers which might increase torrent downloading speed.
Navigate to properties> Bandwidth, then set Global maximum number of connections to 150 and the maximum number of
connected peer per torrent to 100. Leave the upload slot as it is.
7. Add More Trackers to Increase Torrent Download Speed
Trackers are a good way to optimize the torrent download speed. Adding new and faster trackers to your existing torrents can increase
the download speed by adding new seeds and peers to your connection.
The method of adding trackers to your torrent is not so complicated as you only have to add these links to your existing trackers. While
pasting the new tracker, make sure that you are not erasing the existing ones (and do not worry about duplication).
To add new trackers, first right click on the torrent you are downloading and then select Properties. Under the General tab, you will
find the trackers list. Scroll to the bottom and paste trackers from the list given below.
Here is the list of trackers:

8. Pick the Best Port to Increase Torrent Download Speed
As you might know, the BitTorrent protocol depends on the TCP protocol for transferring data over the internet. The recommended and
possibly the best TCP port for torrenting is between 6881-6889. So, if you’re still wondering how to make torrent downloads faster, you
can try configuring the same on your computer.

Conclusion
There are many ways to increase download speed on this list. However, the torrent you are downloading also affects the speed. Make
sure that you are choosing the best torrent from trustable sources. This reduces your chances of getting malware and viruses.
One easy way is to check the Seed/Peer ratio. The higher the ratio the better the speed. A good torrent source will result in your
downloads taking significantly less time.
