Increase Seeds on Utorrent
µTorrent (or uTorrent, commonly abbreviated as "µT" or "uT") is a free, ad-supported, closed source Bit Torrent client owned by Bit Torrent, IncBitTorrent (often abbreviated to 'BT') is a protocol that allows you to download files quickly and efficiently.
- It is a peer to peer protocol, which means you download and upload to other people downloading the same file.
- Bit Torrent is often used for distribution of large files or popular content as it is a cheap, fast, efficient way to distribute files to users like you.
- µTorrent is a Bit Torrent client, so it speaks the Bit Torrent protocol, much like a browser would speak HTTP. Just as there are multiple web browsers, there are multiple Bit Torrent clients, and µTorrent is the most popular.
Steps
How many seeders are there?
- Check the number of seeders for the torrent file. Seeders are those who continue to share the file after it has been downloaded. The more the seeders there are the faster the download will be.
- If you can, try to download from a tracker with a lot of seeders for the file that you want. If you can connect to enough seeders, you can easily max out your connection speed.
- Open your U torrent .
- Click on any of the downloading torrent that you want to speed up.
- Copy all the contents in GENERAL category where it is written trackers (separate tiers with an empty line )
- Paste it in the blank box of Web Seeds in the ADVANCED category and click OK .
- You can see in the right side of the info category down where your torrent is downloading.
Method 2
- Click on the Options menu and then click Preferences.
- Click on the Queuing option on the left side and set the maximum number of active downloads to 1.
- Click Apply and click OK.
- Enable UPnP port mapping. This will allow u Torrent to bypass your firewall and connect directly to the seeders. This will ensure that you are getting the best possible transfer rate for your file. To enable UPnP:
- Click on the Options menu and select Preferences.
- Click the Connection option in the left menu.
- Check the box to enable UPnP port mapping on utorrent .
- Click Apply and then click OK.
Tips
- If speed is the biggest concern you should try to find files that are smaller in size. Although this does not speed up torrent downloads, files that are smaller in size download faster since there is less data to transfer onto your computer.
- Make u Torrent faster by closing other programs on your computer. Running other programs may use up your hard drive speed and slow down the speed for torrent downloads.
- If downloading one torrent at a time, increase max connections per torrent to 250. Open preferences. Under the bit torrent menu locate connections: Global Limit / Per torrent limit. Change the per torrent limit to the global limit.
Warnings
- Don't add non-trusted trackers, this may lead into viruses.
- If you stop a torrent and then start again, you have to redo all the steps.
