Author Topic: Boosting torrent speed?  (Read 3157 times)

Can anyone give tips on how to make my torrents go faster?
Port forwarding didn't seem to help, but I think I did it wrong so I'm gonna reattempt in a bit.
Anything else I should try?

NOTE: Before anyone whines about torrenting being illegal - it's not. It's just a type of downloading that relieves stress on a server with peer to peer downloading.

buy things like a real man.

Set file priority to high.

Torrenting is a form of file compression?

do you even know what you're talking about?


Are you also seeding (Letting others download the file from you)?

Try to set that to 1kb/sec or something low like that.

it is illegal lol,but who cares the majority of people smart enough to do it.... do it.

It's not illegal you idiot. Piracy is illegal. Torrenting is not.

P2P file transferring isn't illegal.

It's specific content that makes it illegal, not the process.

Nothing else is downloading - would that help?

A .torrent file is used to relieve stress on a server, rather than a direct download, because it's peer to peer downloading.

You mean the upload speed?

Torrenting =/= Pirating
You're downloading just like any other P2P program.
