uTorrent is a free peer-to-peer software that allows you to share movies, music, games and other types of files with other users. However, download speed depends on a number of factors. Here's how to change uTorrent settings to make it faster.
1.Open Options and then Preferences. From here, you must change the settings in the General, Downloads, Connection, Bittorrent and Queue tabs.
2.Change the User Interface Settings so uTorrent does the following:
Automatically check for software updates.
Ask you to confirm before any torrents are deleted.
Exit the program without displaying a confirmation dialog.
3.Enable the following functions. Put a tick next to the settings for System Tray that will make uTorrent do the following:
Always display the icon for the system tray.
Display notifications in the system tray as pop-up balloons.
Minimize the full-screen display to tray.
Open the tray icon with a single click.
Open uTorrent by clicking on the system tray.
4.Set the Display Options that will enable the following display features:
Display the progress bar graphics.
Hide the speed limitation in the status bar.
Alternate the background color for lists.
Block the display of uTorrent download speed in the title bar.
5.Select the following Windows Integration settings:
Press the button to associate uTorrent with torrent downloads.
Tick the box for checking association when uTorrent is opened.
Uncheck the box for starting uTorrent every time you open your computer's operating system.
Downloads
Change download settings. Tell uTorrent to do the following when you add a torrent:
Automatically start downloading torrent files.
Open a window that shows the files that the torrent contains.
Open the uTorrent main screen.
Connection
Assign the following actions to the Listening Port:
Use port 45682 for connections coming in.
Keep the same port instead of selecting a random port every time you start uTorrent.
Disable UPnP port mapping.
Prevent uTorrent from being blocked by your computer's firewall.
Bittorrent
Make sure you have the following additional Bittorrent features selected:
DHT network should be enabled.
New torrents should also have DHT enabled.
Scrape information should be requested from the tracker.
Peer exchange should be enabled.
Blank IP or host name should be reported to the tracker.
Queue
Enter the following settings for your queue:
No more than 10 active torrents being uploaded or downloaded at a time.
A maximum of 5 active torrents running at once.
Tips
Use websites such as Speakeasy and CNET Bandwidth meter to measure your Internet speed. You may be downloading torrent files at a slow speed because of a slow Internet connection speed, in which case you should contact your Internet service provider or consider changing to a faster Internet connection service.
