Increasing Torrent Performance

Torrents and the BitTorrentfile distribution system has become extremely
popular these days and has become one of the most popular mediums for
downloading files off the Internet. If you do not already know, a
torrent file is a type of computer file that contains metadata about
files and folders which is shared and distributed in a large network of
computers known as trackers. You can refer to this link for more
information about torrents. There are various torrent clients used to
download files from this network and the most popular ones are:




Some users while downloading files using torrent clients experience slow
downloads which can often be caused by incorrect configuration settings
of the router or a firewall on the system. So by tinkering with the
configuration settings for a bit, you can easily increase your torrent
download speed and enjoy a fast download. Below I’ll be showing you
couple of methods and tips you can use to increase torrent performance
on your PC. Throughout this guide, we’ll be using uTorrent to test and
configure so it is advised you use uTorrent too.


Configuring uTorrent for Maximum Speed and Efficiency


First we will be changing some inbuilt settings of uTorrent to increase
the performance. For that, first we need to know our connection upload
speed. A simple way to do that is by visiting a website called
SpeedTest. The website lets you easily calculate your connection
quality, the upload and download speed.





Now you’ll see something like in the picture above. You’ll need to click
the BEGIN TEST to start measuring your network speed. Make sure you
pause all your ongoing downloads or other pages that uses your bandwidth
before you click BEGIN TEST. This is important to get the right speed
of your Internet.





Once you’re done, you’ll see something like in this picture above. Your
download speed and upload speed depends entirely on your connection so
it might vary a lot. But what you need is the Upload Speed which is 0.38
Mbps in the above case. We will need this value later on. So either
note this value down or just remember it. Now we can move onto the next
step which is calculating the values for configuring uTorrent.


So once you’ve got your upload speed, we need to go to another website
to get the correct values for the configuration settings in uTorrent.
The website we’ll use is Azureus Upload Settings Calculator. Click http://www.infinite-source.de/az/az-calc.html to visit the website. Now you will see something like this:







Now I believe you’ve seen two boxes at the top where you can enter your
upload speed, either in kilobit/second or kilobyte/second. Now you know
your speed was displayed in Megabits/second so we need to convert it to
kilobits/second. To do that, simply multiply your upload speed with
1024. So in my case it would be 0.38*1024=380 kilobits/second.
Alternately, you can use a website like ConvertUnits to convert Mbps to Kbps.





Now what you need to do is enter this value, in
to the respective field in our Azureus webpage and get the results. So
as soon as you fill this upload speed in the website, the remaining
columns will be auto-filled with values, values that you’ve to enter in
uTorrent to optimize it. So here is how it’ll look like once you’ve
entered the value into the box.





Please know that the values you get on entering
your upload speed will be different from mine and you have to use the
values which YOU get to proceed to the further steps. So these are the
values we will be using to optimize uTorrent. So make sure you do not
close this page since we require these values for the upcoming steps.
Once you’ve got the values, we are proceeding to the next step which is
assigning the optimized values to the uTorrent configuration settings.
For that, first open up uTorrent. Once you’ve done that, Click Options > Preferences.







Once the preferences window has opened, we need to fill up the values.
For that click the Bandwidth tab on the left pane and fill the
values into the respective columns like this:









Now head to the Queuing Tab from the Left Pane and fill up the rest of the values like this:





Yeah! You’re all done. Now you’ve actually
optimized your uTorrent configuration settings to suit your internet
connection and your PC. Unlike other tutorials which promise you 100%
speed increase, this is an actual working method which you can try and
use on your PC. Now we’ve successfully covered the first part of this
tutorial. In the next part, we’ll tinker a bit more and utilize
something called ports and learn how it can really help to increase your
uTorrent speed.




Optimizing Ports To Increase Download Speed


Once we’ve configured the upload settings, it’s time to optimize our
ports. If you know nothing about ports, a port is a network resource
that your torrent client uses to allow other systems in the network to
access your PC. All the ports have unique numbers like 3333 or 4545
which are known as TCP port number. So when other systems try to access
your PC, they do it through some random ports. Suppose they’re trying to
access port number 5435 and if your ports are closed or blocked, they
won’t be able to access your PC and stops connections to your PC and
thereby decrease your download speed. So you’ll need forwarded ports to
have maximum connections to PC in the network and get maximum download
speed. So we will be learning how to open ports and enable others to
establish a connection to your PC.


First what you need to do is disable any firewalls on your PC. If you
have a firewall or Antivirus program installed, it will block incoming
connections thereby decreasing your download speed. So you need to
disable any firewalls or antivirus programs on your PC. Alternatively,
you can add an exception for your uTorrent client in the firewall too.
This will have the same effect. Now we need to forward a particular
port. Now there are no specific instructions on how to forward a port on
your PC. It completely depends on what type and brand of router you’ve
got. The settings will completely vary and to overcome this difficulty,
we will be using a website named PortForward

Once you’ve entered the website, you’ll see two
boxes where you can choose your router brand and your router model and
then the website will give you specific instructions to forward a port
for a particular application on your PC. So specify the brand and model
and then choose uTorrent from the list of applications to forward. Now
you’ll see specific instructions just for you like this:







Now once you’ve followed all the steps it’s time to check whether you’ve
successfully forwarded the port. This ensures you’ve done all the steps
right and you’re ready to use the port. For that we will be visiting
the website http://www.canyouseeme.org/CanYouSeeMe. When you’re in the
website, enter the port which you forwarded and click Check Your Port to
know whether you’ve done it right. If yes, the website will say you’ve
successfully forwarded. Else it will pop up an error in which case
you’ve to repeat the steps and rectify it.



That’s it! You’ve successfully optimized your uTorrent for maximum
download speed. All your downloads will be much faster from now on and
you’ll be having lots of connections from your PC making it even better.
If you’ve followed this guide, I can guarantee you’ve now got a faster
download speed. That sums it up for this tutorial. Thanks for
reading.
