Most ISP’s have specific bandwidths for both uploads and downloads. Obviously your torrent download speed won’t cross the cap set by the ISP. Go over to this article on Speed.io for <a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/speedio-elegant-broadband-speed-test/" target="_blank">broadband speed test</a> and this one by Tina on <a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/break-the-speed-limits-to-your-internet/" target="_blank">ways to increase your connection speed</a>. There are many other bandwidth testers like <a href="http://www.dslreports.com/tools" target="_blank">DSLReports</a> which is included in the speed test within uTorrent.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Choosing the right BitTorrent client Use the better clients out there like uTorrent, Vuze or the BitTorrent client itself. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_BitTorrent_clients" target="_blank">Wikipedia lists about 51 of them</a> supporting the BitTorrent protocol. The choice of client used should always be updated to the latest version. The screenshots here depict uTorrent. The settings should be similarly configurable for other clients too. Mac users shuld also check our <a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/is-utorrent-a-viable-option-for-transmission-mac-only/" target="_blank">Transmission vs. uTorrent</a> post</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Go for healthy seeds and peers A peer is any computer participating in the download and upload of a torrent file. A seed (or seeder) is anyone who has one complete copy of the file being shared across the torrent network. A leech (or a leecher) is the person who does not have the complete file yet but has joined the network to download it. A leecher becomes a seeder when he downloads the entire file and then shares it across the network. <img src="http://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/healthy-seeds.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> For high torrent speeds, the best bet is in numbers. The greater the number of seeders, the healthier the torrent and the better the chance of higher speeds. The rule of thumb says to choose the torrent files with a high number of seeders and preferably lesser number of leechers i.e. a higher seed-leecher ratio. <a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/10-ways-to-speed-up-torrent-downloads/" target="_blank">READ MORE</a></li> </ul></blockquote>
