Download Speed via Torrents are Crazy Slow. Thread starter rk3066; Start date Mar 31, 2017; 1; 2; Next. 1 of 2 Go to page. Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit. My Ethernet connection averages about 320 Mbps download speed. I'm curious as to why when I'm downloading a game of some sort, the speed drastically reduces to about 10 Mbps or so. I don't have any speed limits set in regards to downloading games.

How to Speed Up uTorrent Downloads ( 2020 ) Increase torrent download speedTired of slow internet speed while downloading torrent files?Hey Guys Vezio here. However, even with the most optimal settings in BitTorrent, it takes some time, up to 10 or even 15 seconds sometimes, though mostly around 5 seconds for quicker torrents. The issue here is the fact that software, such as Popcorn Time, don't have those settings and downloads are not working as they used to.

I've been itching to try Ubuntu 10.04 and I finally decided to download the live cd using Utorrent. This is my first time using Utorrent on my Windows 7 PC and it seems to be not so good. I have all the ports set correctly and all my download and upload speeds set to unlimited, but whatever I do, I can't get more than 400-600kbps download. When I download on my XP pc using Utorrent I can get 1.5-2mb/s with Utorrent. Plus, on this Windows 7 computer I can get those speeds on fast sites like MS and Apple, but Utorrent seems to almost cap my speeds. I have all the ports on my router forwarded and opened correctly. I've searched for tweaks on the internet, but my speed stays the same. I know 400-600kbps isn't that slow, but its one third of my download speed that I should be getting. I'm guessing it's not my ISP (Comcast) since I've had no trouble before on my other PC.
Thanks for your guys' help. Oh, and sorry if this is the wrong portion of the forum.

  • Connection

Here you have to modify connection settings. By default, some other value is given for Port used for incoming connections, but change this value to 45682. This is best port value to increase downloading speed.

  • Bandwidth

On the bandwidth area by default, the values for Maximum download rate is set to unlimited (showing 0 value), if you see any other value change it to 0 value. Below there is a Global maximum number of connections change this value to 500. Leave other option as it is.

  • BitTorrent

Under this option, check out for Protocol Encryption. Select Outgoing option as Forced. Also, tick Allow incoming legacy connections if it is unchecked.

  • Queuing

Here change the value of the Maximum number of active torrents as 8. Change the value of the Maximum number of Active download to 1, so that having single download at one time makes downloading speed much faster. This is usually not recommended to have more than 1 download at one time when you are facing problem in downloading speed.

  • Advanced Option

In advanced option, go to Disk Cache option. Tick Override automatic cache size and specify the size manually. Make sure the value is set high (let us say 1800 MB), this enables you to make the process faster by keeping the space much more to override cache size.
