why some torrent download in very slow speed?

Question

I often download torrents but to download a torrent i need to try the same file through different torrents
as some them downloads at very slow speed & some even don't download at all


so ihave 2 questions

1: That how can i donwload a torrent at some good speed ?

2: how to know that which torrent will download & which will not and which website should i use ?

Answer 1

The way torrenting works is people distribute a file, say Ubuntu Linux by using their own Internet connection at home.



Most home connections are what is called ADSL / Asynchronous - which means they download faster than they upload. SDSL / Synchronous mean the rate is split evenly.



The number of people who are distributing will have an effect on speed.



If you have say 8Mb speed (as advertised!) you might get just 6Mb down / 2Mb up as the companies cannot say for technical reasons how fast you will be able to get.



To check you get what you pay for try this free tool:



http://speedtest.net



It will allow you to see what your connection is capable of. My 20Mb connection says I can get 4Mb down / 0.5 Mb up (at the time of answering)



With that, you would need 8 people to give you 4 Mb download speed. Some torrents such as science projects or research databases may be online at different times of the day, which can also help or hinder your speed.



If you have Windows, it has some settings which are never optimized for connecting to the Internet. Automatic setting tools are available at:

Which will allow your windows version to work to standards later than 1995 (written 2010 !!!) it changes some half open connections to fully open, plus increases the number of connections from 2-25 upto the hundreds.

Answer 2

No. There is very slight amount of additional overhead for each additional running torrent, but that is (nearly) negligible. If, for example, you have 1Mbps connection, you could, theoretically, download 4 torrents each at 250Kbps (31.25KB/s) or a single torrent at 1Mbps (125KB/s) Obviously that would never work out in practice, but you get the idea.

Answer 3

To have good download speed for torrents download torrent which have good *health* and have large number of *seeds* and *leeches* ...... then the Torrent will work well and have a good download speed (which depends on your internet speed of course)



Websites like

www.isohunt.com

www.torrentz.com

www.mininova.com are good websites to download torrents



also you have *the pirate bay*



But note downloading through Torrents is illegal and punishable offence !

Answer 4

1) Choose a torrent that has many seeders.



2) Any torrent will download as long as it has decent amount of seeders. I suggest btjunkie.org or thepiratebay.org.

Answer 5

Yooo.. basically download the piratebay or isohunt and if you wanna get really good speeds download form private trackers.



Drop me an email and i'll send you an invite to a private tracker :)

Answer 6

The site doesn't matter, as long as it has more than 5 seeders & has some good comments or it's verified

Answer 7

Try www.torrentscan.com



The more seeders the faster it should be.



Make sure you have the legal right to the software of course (;O})
