1) Increase your upload rateOriginally Posted by M_M
2) Torrents are usually faster when more people are downloading and seeding. Find a torrent with a lot of seeds.
3) There are some torrent accelerators but they barely make any difference
4) Dont use BitTorrent client, its shite. Use BitComet.
Bittorrent d/l rates are always dependant on who and how many are sharing file chunks. Because the torrent defines the chunks then there are no real differnces in speeds from the different clients.
WHAT makes the largest difference are the number of others sharing the files.
Sadly, many torrent users are only interested in GETTING, so as soon as it is compelte they remove the torrent from their client. So NOT sharing any file chunks out. If everyone does that then it becomes the norm for there to be nobody sharing the file at all. If that is the case it sometimes helps to go back and ask the originator to re-seed the torrent. Who are you using for your torrent sources ??
Check also your settings, you've not said which client you're using, but you can control the max number of connections and u/l and d/l speeds. Make sure they aren't limiting you.
Also, be patient and considerate of circumstances. So for example, if I'm getting an American TV series then I expect that I will be getting more chunks during the evenings when most families computers are on-line and NOT during the day.

try swapping clients, im a fan of azerus, and can i have some more info on these "torrent accelerators"?
Most of the "accelerators" really only do two things .... make sure all the ports to be used by torrent are open and automatically try very regularly for updates on the seeds. Something which is really only going to mame a small difference some of the time and is usualy configurable on most clients.

No, the uTorrent client is good one, there's no need to change that. I've used five clients now and noticed that there is a difference. What causes it, I don't know.
It's the differing defaults on number of open chunks on u/l and d/l and the ports it opensOriginally Posted by twinspark

When I changed from BitTorrent++ to uTorrent I tried running both without a Firewall and BT++ couldn't reach half the speeds of uTorrent, having a 10 port range open. In uTorrent preferences only one port can be used for incoming connections.Originally Posted by Matra et Alpine

i tried bitlord but it didnt go very fast for me despite tweaking everything anyone suggested.
I use one called BURST! which is a very very simple program and works really well for me.

Bitlord is good too, I prefer uTorrent because it's quite light.Originally Posted by shockwaveracing
