Fix 1. Check Your Internet Speed
You can check your current internet speed by searchinginternet speed test on Google. If your speed score is low, it could be an indication that your internet is the problem. Try the following steps:
- If you have multiple devices connected to the same modem, then it could slow your connection when downloading. Try disconnecting your mobile devices or other computers from the network to see if the download speed increases.
- It’s possible your modem and router have old stuff in them and something is clogging it up. You can restart your modem and router to create a new connection to your internet service provider (ISP) and get everything flowing again.
- If you’re using a wireless connection,try switching to an ethernet cable , which is more stable and consistently faster.
If your speed score is fast, chances are your slow download speed has nothing to do with the internet. Read on and try the fixes below.
Fix 2. Restart Your Computer
If the problem wasn’t your internet, it may be your device. The easiest fix to try would be restarting your computer which will close apps running in the background, reset your desktop environment. So if you haven’t yet, give it a shot.
Fix 3. Configure uTorrent Settings
If you’re running uTorrent Classic (the desktop client), you can try tweaking a few settings to maximum download speed.
- Open uTorrent and clickOptions > Preference .
- Under theGeneral tab, check the box next toAppend .!ud to incomplete files and Pre-allocate all files . Then clickApply
- Go to theBandwidth tab , then set yourGlobal Upload/Download Rate andNumber of Connections as followed:
- Go to the Queueing tab and set the value as followed. Then, clickApply .
If you’re downloading multiple files at a time, it would take more time for each file to be downloaded because each file you download will take a piece of your bandwidth.
- Go to theConnection tab, then set the Random port value to45682 and clickApply .
- Apply the settings and restart uTorrent to test the issue.
If your download speed is still slow, move on and try the next fix.
Fix 4. Use a VPN
Torrents and file-sharing use massive amounts of bandwidth. While ISPs won’t stop you from using torrents legally, they could throttle torrents and slow them to a crawl of only a few KB/s in order to prevent network congestion and lower bandwidth costs. If this is the problem for you, you can use aVPN , also known as a Virtual Private Network, to bypass Internet throttling.
A good VPN encrypts your data and redirects it through a protected tunnel. In this way, your ISP won’t be able to tell what kind of traffic you’re sending or receiving, and thus can’t interfere with your network.
Some VPN services are free but, as with most things in life, you get what you pay for. Free VPNs are never as good as paid ones; either they’re not as fast or reliable, or they can be forced to share your details with the authorities.
Our favorite VPN is NordVPN . It’s fast and cheap, and – most importantly – it will keep your IP address hidden. Follow the instructions below to see how to use VPN when torrenting. We’ll use NordVPN for this tutorial, but you can use other VPN as well.
Download and install NordVPN on your device
Set up your account.
Click theQuick Connect button on the map to automatically connect to a server that suits your needs.
dotConnect for Oracle is an ADO.NET data provider for Oracle with Entity Framework Support.
- Now you can download securely and anonymously!
Fix 5. Allow uTorrent through Firewall
If your download speed drops to zero, it could be Windows Firewall that is blocking your torrent client. In this case, you can add an exception to the Windows firewall to fix the issue:
Open uTorrent.
Go toOptions> Preferences .
- ClickConnections and check the Add Windows Firewall exception box and then clickApply .
