The use of Bit Torrent is an efficient way to transfer files of just
about any size quickly and efficiently. How this works is by breaking
the huge files into smaller pieces and is from one or many of the
different sources. This is one of the best ways to transfer bulky files
quickly even when you are using a low bandwidth connection. There are
many more things that you can do with Bit Torrent, but here we are going
to discuss how to make this work much faster.
Here are some essential tips for the same,
- Start with your ISP:
All
ISP has a preset maximum upload and download speed, and you cannot make
your torrent work beyond this speed. All you can do is to use the best
use of this upload and download speed even when the signal is weak. You
can check the maximum speed that you can achieve by conducting a
broadband speed test and compare with the DSLReports that comes with
your uTorrent.
- Opt-In for healthy seeds and peers:
A
peer is any computer participating in downloading and
uploading of torrent files along with that of yours. A seeder is one who
has a complete copy of the file that is being shared across a torrent
network. A leecher is the person who has joined the network recently and
do not have most of the file that you or the peer has. This leecher
becomes the seeder when they download the entire file and is able to
share it across the network. For getting high torrent speed, you need
to increase the number of seeders to increase the chance of healthier
and reception of higher speeds.
- Get through the firewall:
Many
times, you will find the administrator or the firewall in your web
browser is set to block and receive torrent files. The first thing that
you need to do is to get appropriate permissions for downloading torrent
files, and add this to your firewall, which will enhance the speed at
which you can download torrent files. If the internet is through a
router, then you have to set the torrent file to cross the barrier of
the security of the router also.
- Go to a different port:
The
default port for BitTorrent protocol is always between the numbers
6881-6999. This is because BitTorrent sharing will involve high
bandwidth usage. However, this is possible that you can configure a
different port for your torrent client and this has been best advised to
set this number to somewhere around 10000.
- Limit your upload rate:
A
peer to peer network is sharing alike on the same or similar platform
and therefore you should be able to set your client’s upload speed rate
to a maximum amount, which will usually be about 80 percent of your
maximum upload speed that is being offered by your ISP. Keep this speed,
as high as possible, but you have to play your cards well as the upload
speed affects your download speed as well.
- Use your common sense:
If
you understand the concept of how Bit Torrent works, then your common
sense will automatically tell you that this is possible to view the
individual files being downloaded and disable the ones that you are not
in need off, which will help you to speed up the process of downloading
the files using Bit Torrent.
- Bandwidth and connections:
This
is possible to set the maximum number of connections, maximum number of
peers connected per torrent and number of slots per torrent so that you
can decide on which numbers gives the maximum efficiency from your Bit
Torrent files.
