As you know, torrents have been around for longer than we can even imagine. Although when there were no streaming platforms available online, there were torrents. There are torrents for pretty much everything from our best-loved movies and TV shows to the favorite games and software; there’s hardly anything you can not download using torrents.
Though, one common problem among the torrent users is how much duration it can take to download things sometimes. Torrent download speeds depend on many factors, and there are always techniques to get something downloaded faster using a few simple tricks. In this write-up, we will tell you the things you can do to make sure that the next item you download using uTorrent does not take forever.
NOTE : We must warn you, although, that using torrents to download copyrighted work is illegal in many countries. Be cautious about cyber laws in your state and country before downloading things using uTorrent.
Make Sure There is Many Seeders:
While selecting which torrent file to use to download the stuff you want, make sure to choose one with a large number of seeders. A more significant amount of seeders means you have more sources to choose from, leading to better download speeds.
Download Torrent Files One by One:
While it’s okay to have various torrents in your uTorrent queue, it’s always an excellent way to download files one by one. Because every torrent, when the download takes a portion of your Bandwidth, means that if you are trying to download multiple files at once, they will all take a long duration to complete. When downloading a single file, the full Bandwidth is reserved for that specific file.
Also, you can change the maximum number of active downloads to one so as not to fret about multiple torrent downloads.
For that purpose, launch uTorrent and head over to Options on top of the page. Select Preferences and then set the maximum number of active downloads to one. Must apply and save before closing Preferences.
Enable The UPnP Port Mapping:
Enabling UPnP port mapping helps uTorrent to bypass firewalls and connect straight to the many sources of the file on the web. It ensures that your downloads happen at a much rapid rate. To enable UPnP port mapping, go to Preferences, after that to Connection in the left menu. Check the box next to
Enable UPnP to get faster download speed. Tap Apply before exiting.
Ensure You Run Updates:
Ensuring your uTorrent is updated is a vital part of getting better download speeds. If your uTorrent will not update automatically for some cause, no worries, you can do it manually by going to the Help option on top of the page and then select Check for Updates from the pull-down menu.
Adding More Trackers in Torrents:
Adding more trackers can remarkably improve the download speeds because they add new seeds and peers to your torrent. That’s because trackers close routinely and change all the time, which means that more modern trackers will get you the best download speeds. To add new trackers, just right-click on the name of a file that is downloading already. Then select the option to Add Tracker. In a few versions of uTorrent, this option may be under the Properties section.
Allot High Bandwidth to Your Torrents:
One common technique to increase download speeds is by allocating more Bandwidth to an absolute torrent. Right-click on the file you are already downloading to open the pull-down menu. Click Bandwidth Allocation and set it to high.
Likewise, if you want other torrents to download slower than this specific torrent, you change their Bandwidth Allocation to Low.
Altering Bandwidth Settings:
You can boost torrent download speeds in uTorrent by changing your bandwidth settings. For this purpose, click Options from the main menu bar then go to Preferences. From the left menu, click Bandwidth.
You can set the maximum upload rate here. We suggest that you set it to something in the vicinity of 14. In like manner, increase the maximum download rate to as much as you need. Set the global number of connections to 2339 while also setting the maximum number of connected peers per torrent to 256.
