INCREASE TORRENT SPEED

Torrentz is a torrent meta-search engine based in Sweden (run by an admin, who goes by the name Flippy) that indexes torrents from various major torrent sites like Mininova, Demonoid, and The Pirate Bay. It offers compilations of various trackers per torrent that are not necessarily present in the default .torrent file so when a tracker is down, other trackers can do the work.you can download almost anything from toreentz site .ranging from movies ,songs ,PC games.etc.In a way Torrent is the biggest form of online piracy going on in todays world, Though I am no where near a torrent –addict I still manage to download around 40-50 gb every month., Compare this to the scenario a few years back when a person buying a brand new Pc got a hard disk with around 40 Gb storage space -the space torrent freaks can consume in matter for just 3-4 days . However the most people complain that their torrent speed are slow ..i.e a person getting a transfer speed of around 200 kb/s on a 2 mb/s line gets around 110 or even less when downloading with torrent.There arte several ways to increase torrent speeds some of them are as follows

1.SHARE RATIO: The main difference between direct download and downloading using torrent is that in case of direct download the file is stored in a remote server and all the users download the file from the same location .,while torrent is a peer to peer service the file is not stored in a single specific location The protocol works initially when a file provider makes his file (or group of files) available to the network. This is called a seedpeers or leechers to connect and download the file.after other people finish the download they again become the seed i.e and allows others, named they help other people downloading the file from theioir PC,s

Take an Example

1 .A (seed) uploads a movie.B,C,and D (peer) start downloading the file form A’s computer .Now the status of the torrent is 1 Seeds(the person from whose’s PC the download is taking place) and 3 Peers (ppl downloading) After B,C n D finish their downloads they become seeds

2 .Now say X starts his download .Now the status of the torrent is 4 Seeds (A,B,C,D) and 1 Peers (X) .So naturally X will get more download speed than what B C D were getting when they were downloading because X can simultaneously download different portions of the file from the 4 seeds A B C D.while when B C D were downloading they had only 1 seed A and all 3 were downloading from A .

Suppose A had set his upload speed as 90 Kb/s then B,C,.D wud hav to share the bandwidth among themselves hence they wud get around 30 kb/s each .now lets in 2nd c : if A B C D set their upload speeds at even 50 kb/s then X will get 200 kb/s download because he is the only peer .Thus in case of torrent download not only download speed of the user matters the no of seeders and peers also matters a lot .

THE BOTTOMLINE IS TO GET A FASTER DOWENLOAD SELECT A TORRENT WITH MORE SEEDS AND LESS PEERS .

Upload/download ratio is called share ratio

2 .PORT FORWARDING : Sumtimes the ports used by the torrent client are blocked by the windows firewall or the hardware firewall of the router provided ny the I.S.P how to test whether the port is forwarded or not check this site : http://portforward.com/ is a good resource to also test and know more about port forwarding

3. TORRENT ACCLERATORS-: These software’s accelerate torrent speed by maximizing bandwidth usage to get the latest torrent accelerator

try this

and dwld a accelerator for ur torrent client

4 CLOSE BACKGROUND PROGRAMS WHILE DOWNLOADING : Although Torrent clients like Bit torrent ,u torrent are very small in size they consume large memory resources while the download is on so if any other memory consuming program runs parallel then the download speed is decreased. So try to close down all background programns while download is on

5. PRIVATE TORRENTZ : I stumbled upon this while searching for a solution of my problem There are torrents called private torrents which give you a constant high speed. Google it u will find many sites offering u private torrents .u just hav to register for free.

.for ppl who hav high bandwidth like me(around 2 mbps) u can use these torrents they give around 200 kb/s s download speed in a 2 MBPS line. The catch however is that u hav to maintain a atleast 0.3 upload/download speed ratio ..or else u will be banned form site..but if its just a single large download that is troubling u then ...fuck the rules ..get ur download ...get banned....n ......get hold of a new site...

6 .SIMULTANEOUSLY DOWNLOAD 2 OR MORE TORRENTZ :

In order to gain the maximum of the available bandwidth I suggest u download 2 or more torrentz.then at least the band width which was lying useless would be utilizes this is specially useful for users whose download speed exceeds 220-230 kb/s because often a torrent doesn’t utilize that much bandwidth(especially dose with peer/seed ratio of 2or more) so instead of queing up downloads it is better to download simultaneously. As long as the the total bandwidth is more than the cumulative bandwidth utilized by the torrents then adding 1 more download will not affect the speed of the existing download in any way
