Blocked Torrents Some Internet Providers try to block torrent traffic altogether. Comcast, for example, reportedly tried to block all upstream seeding torrent bandwidth. This header is essential, it allows data to get routed to the correct destination, and the correct software program that is looking for that time of incoming data your torrent client. These headers also make it very easy for your internet provider to filter and block torrent data packets, while allowing the rest of your data to go through unblocked.
When you use a VPN, the encryption prevents your ISP from reading these headers, making it impossible to block torrents without blocking everything. This causes your torrent speed to drop bigtime. Port forwarding is a big pain, and you have to reconfigure it everytime your router assigns a new internal ip address to your computer Argh.
Pretty sweet! For more info about each of these companies, read our guide to the fastest VPNs for torrenting. For the rest of the issues, we can deal with them ourselves. If you have a Mbps internet connection, and you saw the Too many Torrents: Try limiting the number of active torrents and queue the rest. Anything over active torrents is overkill and will hurt overall speeds and tax your processor and hard drive.
Most torrent client have an indicator of your connection health which can alert you to port forwarding or throttling issues. The indicator is usually in the bottom right corner of the software. Vuze displays torrent health as a color-coded smiley. Click the Admin button near the top of the page. You should now see a new menu. Click the Commit button near the bottom of the page. Click the Reboot button near the bottom of the page. And that is it! You are done! Tick at "Allow incoming legacy connections.
Tick Enable Encyption Let a torrent downloading to run for five minutes at a test run You should see a notable increase in speed. The Triangle icon at the bottom bar may be in Yellow but you are receiving incoming connections.
Also check out TorrentBoss. A test will be performed on your computer to check if the specified port is opened. Checking port on Port is open and accepting connections. You will be able to receive incoming BitTorrent connections.
Your external IP address is xx. Port does not appear to be open. Type cmd in the Open: box, and click Okay. Guide to setup a static ip address. When you are finished setting up a static ip address, please come back to this page and enter the ip address you setup in the Static IP Address box below.
Do not skip this step! I realize this guide is fairly difficult to understand, so I've added a new section here that will help you determine exactly what ip address to set your computer to. Put the subnet mask we previously found in the subnet mask section. The default gateway should go into the Default gateway box.
Enter the dns servers we prevoiusly found into the two DNS Server boxes. Click okay all the way out of this menu. Configure Your Firewall As with routers, there are too many to cover here, so time to head to Google. See the following for Comodo Firewall Unlike with other sections to this guide, ports only have to be opened, rather than forwarded. How can I improve my download speed? The download speed mostly depends on the seeder-to-leecher ratio SLR the seeder-to-leecher ratio.
Poor download speed is mainly a problem with new and very popular torrents where the SLR is low. Seed so that others will not endure the same. There are a couple of things that you can try on your end to improve your speed: Do not immediately jump on new torrentsIn particular, do not do it if you have a slow connection. The best speeds will be found around the half-life of a torrent, when the SLR will be at its highest.
The downside is that you will not be able to seed so much. It's up to you to balance the pros and cons of this. Make yourself connectable If you are not connectable it means that you are firewalled or NATed and cannot accept incoming connections. Therefore you cannot share properly. This means that other peers in the swarm will be unable to connect to you, only you to them.
Even worse, if two peers are both in this state they will not be able to connect at all. You will also find lots of information on the subject at PortForward as layout at the above post. This means that if A and B are leeching the same torrent and A is sending data to B at high speed then B will try to reciprocate. So due to this effect high upload speeds lead to high download speeds.
These are called acknowledgements - ACKs -, a sort of "got it! If A fails to do this then B will stop sending data and wait. If A is uploading at full speed there may be no bandwidth left for the ACKs and they will be delayed. So due to this effect excessively high upload speeds lead to low download speeds. The full effect is a combination of the two. The upload should be kept as high as possible while allowing the ACKs to get through without delay.
You will have to fine tune yours to find out what works best for you. Remember that keeping the upload high has the additional benefit of helping with your ratio.
If you are running more than one instance of a client it is the overall upload speed that you must take into account. Some clients e. Azureus limit global upload speed, others e. Shad0w's do it on a per torrent basis. Know your client. The same applies if you are using your connection for anything else e. Limit the number of simultaneous connectionsSome operating systems like Windows 9x do not deal well with a large number of connections, and may even crash. There are no fixed values for this, you may try 60 or and experiment with the value.
Note that these numbers are cumulative, if you have two instances of a client running the numbers add up. Limit the number of simultaneous uploadsIsn't this the same as above? Uploads limit the number of peers your client is actually uploading to. Please make sure you are posting in the correct place. Server ads go here and modpack bugs go here. JavaScript is disabled.

Some users reporting slowdowns after using the app for a long time are having this issue due to not seeding. Try seeding a little, and see if your torrents start speeding up. Use wifi-only mode, which is also under Settings.
