  • The first thing to keep in mind is that as a general rule, Internet providers tend to block ports by default, hindering the download task (ports 6881 through 6999). It is for this reason that it is advisable to change the default ports of the bitTorrent client in order to increase the download speed.
  • Another trick we can do to improve the speed of torrent download, is to increase the number of TCP connections that are made to our Windows system. In general they are in 10, we should try to raise them to a number that is between 50 and 100 connections.
  • One way to maintain an acceptable speed of our download process is simply limiting the use of bandwidth, so that we can keep control of the speed since many times this bandwidth value is modified by the provider. It is advisable to try to configure the client to work with 70% or 80% of the total capacity of the bandwidth of our Internet connection.
  • Also we must be aware that our firewall or firewall is not blocking the ports we are using to connect the client to the network. If this is the case we have to create exceptions to the firewall or open those ports, to increase the download and upload speed of files.
  • To speed up the download speed of a torrent, it is important to verify the client / seed relationship of that file. Remember that the seed number (full file) must be large and it is recommended that the number of clients (downloading users be lower). In this way we can say that a torrent file with a ratio of 40/200 will be less efficient than a 30/60 and its download will be much slower.
