P2P Fastest Download

You need to know first your Internet Speed in order to set the accurate settings for optimal connection. Try to test your bandwidth.

Since peer to peer file sharing (from the word sharing), means "what you receive, you need also to give". You have to change your settings after you determine your optimal connection speed.

Don't be too greedy. Setting your maximum download speed to unlimited will hurt your connection. Just set 80% from the total optimal Internet Speed.

What you have receive, you need also to give. If you use your Maximum upload speed, there won’t be not enough space left for the files you are downloading. So you have to cap your upload speed. Try to give 60% of your total bandwidth to avoid slow download speed.

I have tried different torrent software to download my favorite movies, mp3, pc games, applications and many others. They were almost similar in terms of their speed. But I have some tips and guide that might help increase your download speed using uTorrent.

Open your Torrent Search Engine (uTorrent) click to download

Stpe 1: Options>Preferences>Network

1. Click on ‘Port used for incomming connections’, enter any port number. It is best to use a port number above 10000. I use 51646 port number which I observe faster.
2. UNCHECKED "Randomize port each time utorrent starts". If you have a router, leave this unchecked. If you do not have a router or a firewall, and want extra security,check this option.
3. For Windows Xp or later only UNCHECKED the "Enable UPnP port mapping. I leave this unchecked because I have experienced it slowing down speeds. It is not needed if you manually port forward.
4. If your OS is Windows XP SP2 or later, UNCHECKED "Add utorrent to Windows Firewall exceptions" (do this only if you have windows firewall disabled)
5. Global Maximum upload rate (kb/s): [0: unlimited]: 22 (for 256k connection)
6. Protocol Encryption: ENABLED. I would recommend everyone to enable this. This can help increase speeds with many ISPs.
7. CHECKED allow incoming Legacy Connections:

1. Global Maximum Number of Connections: 130 (for 256k connection)This number should not be set too low or the number of connections made to your torrents will be limited. Setting it too high may cause too much bandwidth to be used and can cause slowdowns.
2. Maximum Number of connected peers per torrent: 70 (for 256k connection)If you see that the peers connected to a specific torrent are exactly this number, or very close, increase this number to improve speeds.
3. Number of upload slots per torrent: 3 (for 256k connection)This depends on how much you want to upload to other users. Do not set too low or it may affect download speeds.
4. Use additional upload slots if upload speed <90%: CHECKED
5. Maximum number of active torrents: 2 (for 256k connection)
6. Maximum number of active downloads: 1 (for 256k connection)
7. Enable DHT Network: CHECKEDThis is recommended to be checked to improve speeds. More people will be available for sharing if this is checked.
8. CHECKED the "enable DHT for new torrents
   
9. Enable Peer Exchange: CHECKED
10. Enable scrapping: CHECKED
11. Pre-allocate all files: CHECKED
12. Append .!ut to incomplete files: UNCHECKED
