  • Check your Queueing settings under Preferences. See anything that's strange. Check the Bandwidth settings too.

  • If you are quiet sure that you have a good internet speed and sufficient amount of seeds and peers and the files don't get downloaded here is some thing you can do. 

    • Click Utorrent and press crtl+p or go to the options menu and click preferences. Go to Brandwidth.
    • You will see something called Global maximuim number of connections. Make the number 9999999.
    • Under that maximum number of connected peers per torrent, make it 999999. then click ok.
    • This will increase the number of seeds and peers it should connect with.

  • your torrent download speed is entirely depends on the speed of the seeders sending you the file.
    Make sure that you are using an encrypted connection. Check the advanced setting on both of you computer.
    And your antivirus setting should be counted. See if it disable your utorrent.

  • How to Speed Up Torrent Downloads:

    1. Use a good bittorrent client. Bittorrents require the use of bittorrent client program in order to run the torrent files, and not all bittorrent clients are created equal. Testing a few different clients can help you find the one that works best for your computer. µTorrent, BitComet, BitTornado and Azureus are some popular clients.
    2. Maximize your bittorrent client's settings for download speed. A bittorrent client will have preference setting where the user can set things like maximum download speed, maximum upload speed, and number of simultaneous uploads and downloads. By limiting the amount of bandwidth you commit to uploading, you can achieve better download speeds.
    3. Stop other processes on your network that are hogging bandwidth. If you use a LAN or wireless network to connect to the internet, make sure other computers on the LAN are not downloading or uploading large files, which will slow down the network. If you use wireless, make sure your computer is getting a good signal--for laptops move to an area close to your router or with less obstruction between you and your internet source.
    4. Use a bittorrent accelerator program. Bittorrent accelerators are extra programs that facilitate faster download speeds by connecting to more peers faster, or downloading multiple portions of a file from the same peer. Bittorrent Download Accelerator is one popular program, which works with many of the more popular bittorrent clients.
    5. Get a faster Internet connection. If your internet connection itself is slow, there's no way to increase your bittorrent download speed beyond the maximum amount that your connection will allow. If you use a 56 modem, upgrade to DSL or cable, and if you currently use DSL or cable, look into a service with higher megabits per second in download speeds. Competition between data transfer services often means you can save money by switching to a better service, since they often offer very good promotional deals.

  • Look, I don't give a damn about that utorrent. Why? Because I'm not a sheep in a flock, so I wouldn't use utorrent just because everyone does so. The truth is that utorrent is slow. As for an advice, try BitComet, or Azureus. They're both very good. No offence for utorrents, it's just an opinion, Ok?
