How to Speed ​​Up uTorrent

If you know a bit about torrents, you probably already know how to find torrent files, download them, and load them into uTorrent. However, if you're new to this, the download speed can be quite slow. To speed up uTorrent, you need to check some parameters such as number of 'seeds', wi-fi interference, current uTorrent version, priority setting and speed. Alternatively, if downloads are still slow, you can also 'hot start' the torrent.

How many "seeds" are there out there?

Check the 'seed' number for your torrent file. 'Seed' are people who continue to share files after they have been downloaded. The more 'seeds' a file has, the higher its download speed will be.

If possible, download from a source that has multiple 'seeds' for the file you want to download. Once connected with enough 'seed', you can easily reach the maximum connection speed. However, this is more risky when you try to download movies and music. Learn how to choose reputable torrent sources because many are not necessarily good.

Is your Wi-fi noisy?

Try connecting the computer directly to the modem or the navigator instead of using Wi-fi. Many signals in the house can interfere with your Wi-fi connection, thereby affecting the network speed as well as the download speed of uTorrent.

Have you used all your abilities?

Check uTorrent's standby settings. Every file being downloaded in uTorrent takes up some of your bandwidth. The more files are loaded at full speed, the longer it takes to load. Watch while downloading: Enjoy the first movie while waiting for another to download.

Sign up for a higher speed internet plan. Depending on where you live, you may still be able to upgrade the speed of your internet service. Even if the monthly fee increases, if you change carriers, you will probably earn a good price.
