Most people experience the internet slowing down when they use a torrent client, but I’ve found a simple fix for that.
Step 1. Open utorrent or your preffered bittorrent client.
Step 2. Go to Options, then click the preferences option.
Step 3. Go to the “bittorrent” tab in the preferences menu. It will most likely be named something else if you don’t use utorrent, but the options should be relatively the same.
Step 4. Set the max connections and max peers numbers to be lower, I chose 100/50, because it worked better than 150/100, which was the first thing I tried.
You can toy around with it a bit to try and get the best results, but what I set works for me.
I can now browse the web while I download, without it running sub-56k speeds.

My internet goes fast even when I’m downloading torrents, would this make it even faster?
Also, would this slow the speed at which the torrents download? |

It probably wouldn’t make it faster, but for most people the amoutn of connections a torrent makes causes the internet to move excruciatingly slow.
It should only affect you if you’re needing to connect to an amount of connections higher than what you have set, which would require more than 4 or 5 torrents going at once usually. |

Alright, thanks. |

Great job. I always download crap but I usually leave it on while I sleep which makes downloading take days, but I don’t want to wait 4 minutes per page.

It will still make a lot of connections and slow the web down if you don’t reduce the amount of max connections.
The amount of bandwidth shown from the download/upload isn’t all that the program is using. |
