Do you mean that your download in torrent is so slow?



If you want your download to be fast, I suggest you download a torrent that has many seeds.

Speed up your torrents



Help! BitTorrent is slow�� This is probably one of the most frequently asked questions I get about BitTorrent. Unfortunately there��s not some kind of magic trick that makes your torrents go through the roof. But you could take some simple steps to optimize your speeds.



1. Cap your upload (most important)



Limit your upload speed to approximately 80 percent of your maximum upload rate. You can check your upload speed over here (never trust your isp). Once you know your maximum upload speed, change the max upload (to 80%) speed in your torrent client��s preferences.



Don��t get me wrong, everyone should share as much as possible, but if your upload rate reached it��s max, your download rate suffers significantly.



2. Hack the max TCP connections



If you��re on XP sp2, your TCP connections are limited to a maximum of 10. This seriously hurts your downloading speed because it wont let you connect to a high amount of ip numbers. It is supposed to slow down viruses because their spreading strategy is to connect to a high amount of ip numbers, but it also cripples your torrent downloads.

A nice way to fix this is to use bitcomet tcp/ippatch, it allows you to set the maximum allowed connections to any number you want. Any number between 50 and 1000 is ok



3. Check seeds and peers



A simple tip, but o so important. Always look for torrents with the best seed/peer ratio. The more seeds (compared to peers) the better (in general). So 50 seeds and 50 peers is better than 500 seeds and 1000 peers. So, be selective.



4. Change the default port.



By default, BitTorrent uses a port 6881-6999. BitTorrent accounts for a lot of the total internet traffic (1/3), so isp��s like to limit the connection offered on the these ports. So, you should change these to another range. Good clients allow you to do this, just choose anything you like. If you��re behind a router, make sure you have the ports forwarded or UPnP enabled.



5. Disable Windows Firewall



It sucks. Windows Firewall hates P2P and often leads a life of it��s own. So disable it and get yourself a decent firewall, Kerio or Zone Alarm for example.



Last but not least�� Buy a faster connection��

You've got to understand this point I am about to inform you with...

The more you download or use the internet, the slower it gets..

If you've got more than three people using your network, then it is slowing your connection even more. You should leave the internet for the download and when it's done, continue browsing the internet.

Hope this is useful.

The internet can become slow if your computer is running slower so try closing programs and only have limewire open. If that isnt it a firewall could be blocking it and not letting limewire have full access to the internet.

if u use bt internet they choke torrent connections during the day. use overnight. try changing your port number. or try "Vuse" to torrent though don't use at same time as bit-torrent as they will conflict. it also depends on the numbers of seeders and lecher's on a torrent as to the download speed
