Q&A for How to Make uTorrent Faster

Start by checking your seeder numbers, wi-fi interference, your current version, and your speed and priority settings. You can also close the other programs running on your computer.

There could be a multitude of things. It's possible the modem and router has old stuff in it and something is clogging it up. Restarting the router will actually allow it to be cleared out and get everything flowing again. Cloud syncing can also slow internet connection down as will a virus.

There are other similar apps, but the speed depends on the file that you're downloading and your Internet plan.

If your download stops downloading, you may have a no seeds or very small number of seeds that went offline temporarily. Other potential causes are problems with your internet source, firewall setting or other downloads.

No, peers are necessary for downloads.

It simply means that you shouldn't try that option as it is not appropriate for you. After following every method, observe the speed for some time -- if it goes down so, undo the step.

If the download speed becomes blank, it means that there is something wrong with your wifi. Try restarting your wifi and avoid using it on any other device

Try downloading files with more seeds. You can also try the "Force Start" option from the drop box.

Seeding means that you are providing the file for others to download from you.

Up speed is the upload rate. The higher the number, the more data you are transferring to other peers.

It isn't adequate at all. Try to close all other internet-consuming applications. In addition, you could go to speedtest.net and find out your general speed. You do that to make sure the ISP is providing you the speed you have had dealt they will. If it isn't, drop them a call and ask for what you're signed up for.

Upload speeds should be lower than download speeds, or else the amount of data you are using will be spent mostly on uploading. Reduce the upload speed to its lowest and adjust the download speed according to your Internet plan.

Remove the torrent, then download it again.

You might be downloading a file from a seeder that has the file corrupt on his/her computer. Try finding a new torrent and try again.

Follow the instructions listed in the article above.

It is possible that your firewall is slowing the torrent download down. Try enabling the UPnP option discussed on this page and try again.

Find another one with more seeds. Alternatively, you could add more trackers.

Set it to 500 and click Apply, otherwise it won't save.

You must use a magnet link torrent. Sometimes if seeders go offline, then it seems no one is there for uploading. In that case you will not get even a 1 KB/s speed and your torrent stops. Make sure you use a torrent with a high amount of seeders and use an Ethernet cable connection to the modem. If still you are having problems, you may need to speak with your ISP about the speed issue.

It depends on the file and the number of seeders. Fluctuating speeds means that part of the file just hasn't been shared at that particular stage, and the program is finding a seeder with it.

Check the number of seeders for the torrent file. The more seeders, the faster the download will be. You can also try connecting your computer directly to the modem or router rather than using Wi-Fi to speed up the torrent. You should also make sure you have the latest version of uTorrent to ensure the program is running properly.

You may have network connectivity issues that are slowing down your download speed. Try connecting your computer directly to your router or modem instead of using Wi-Fi. You can also try downloading files one at a time so you don't overload your bandwidth.

That might be because your torrent file has a low seeding rate, meaning that the other person who downloaded the same file didn't let it seed.

I should think so; 1 seed is very little to download from.
