These days use of torrent has increased tremendously and it is qiute easy also even I prefer torrent to any other site but the problem is that it is slower than other websites. But where there is a problem there is a solution. Following are the 5 ways in which you can speed up your Torrent. Try it!
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. Read More»

Some users of the BitTorrent client report experiencing slow downloads when sharing P2P files. This is most likely to occur on computers behind a home router or software firewall.
Being behind firewalls, the BitTorrent client may block incoming Bit Torrent network connections. Given the load balancing and “swarming” nature of the BitTorrent network, clients unable to take incoming requests for uploads will naturally be allowed less bandwidth for downloads.
To solve this problem, consider the following: Read More»

MICROSOFT HAS let it be known that the behaviour of Windows Vista beta copies is about to change fairly substantially. From May 31, anybody using a beta copy of the OS will find that their machine reboots every two hours, and that intermediate access will be limited to base-level file retrieval.
That means that you could lose data you’re working on, and that your machine will be good only for reformatting. This isn’t as bad news as it seems. Users who had taken part in the Vista beta scheme millions of people, in fact were all given free copies of Vista Ultimate by the Vole as a ‘thank you’. Read More»

Tech-buzz.net have just shared details of a new torrent extension for Firefox caled FoxTorrent, that has been leaked by Redswoosh. FoxTorrent does all the usual things we have come to expect from a torrent service. However it has one feauture that I think many people will find useful. It can play streamable media (e.g. .WMV, .MOV, .MP3) files as your torrent downloads and can download torrents at a greater speed by using BitTorrent and Redswoosh at the same time. Read More»

This process makes popular and very large files, such as videos and television programs, download much faster than is possible with other protocols. Read More»
