How to get fast torrent download speeds?

terrytek

How do I get fast torrent download speeds? On average, I only get about 5 KB/s download-20KB/s max. One time I experienced 600 KB/s, but IDK why. I need faster downloads. I can't wait for the damn peers to connect.

Check you aren't throttled.

In the UK atleast, BT throttles P2P connections during "peak times". So From 5PM to Midnight on Weekday and 7am to Midnight on weekends I'd get like 20Kb/s max. Outside of those times I'd get a couple MB/s down.

 

Other than that, make sure you are getting torrents with a decent amount of seeds, or decent ratio of seeds to leechers.

i set my max ocnnections to 200 ( both peers and global) the more people u connect to the higher chance of u getting a higher download speed. i pretty much max my connection all the time assuming a decent amount of seeders

How can I tell if I'm throttled?

Download a torrent that has a high amount of seeders and low amount of leechers. Also Check to see if you can upgrade to a broadband package that offers high prioritization on torrent downloads.

Also remember to seed! Or change over to newsgroups. Increase your torrent client settings under connections. use a VPN. Your ISP could be shaping P2P.
