Why is my uTorrent download speed so slow all of a sudden?

Some users reporting slowdowns after using the app for a long time are having this issue due to not seeding. To check this, go to your phone's Menu, then Settings, then Upload limit, then change this to a reasonably number (not zero). Try seeding a little, and see if your torrents start speeding up.

Why is my download speed slower then usual?

It might be because of an outdated router or a less-than-ideal router location. You might be able to solve slow speeds with an easy fix, like upgrading to a mesh network (which also has to be set up in the right spot) or simply restarting your modem and router.

How many seeders and leechers are good?

Many people understand these basics. A torrent with 30 seeders and 70 leechers (30% seeders) will go faster than one with 10 seeders and 90 leechers (10% seeders).

What is the fastest port for uTorrent?

What's the best port for uTorrent? The best port for uTorrent is anything above 10000. uTorrent comes with a “Random port” functionality that lets you change the (ephemeral) port range between 10000 to 65535.

Does VPN slow down torrenting?

Connecting to a VPN slows your download speeds because it's sending your encrypted data to another server, obscuring your IP address.

Can VPN increase uTorrent download speed?

A VPN can hide your IP address, making it difficult for your ISP to track your online activity. This can make your torrents faster by avoiding throttling, or bandwidth restrictions, from your ISP.

Why does my download speed vary so much?

As you might know, Internet speed varies during certain months, days and even time of days if you use a cable network like your television cable provider. It's because we're all sharing the big, bad Internet connection and when more people are using it (7-9 p.m.) it gets slower.

Is it normal for download speed to fluctuate?

It depends on both server and your computer as well as on the network devices and lines. So, it is hard to define the exact reason. E.g. in case of wireless connection such fluctuations can occur when a lot of devices in the neighborhood share the same wi-fi channel (or several adjacent channels).

Why am I only getting 4 Mbps download speed?

Make sure that you are using the correct unit of megabits or megabytes. Remember that sometimes the ISPs advertise speeds in mbps which could be just megabits per second and not megabytes. Remember if your promised speed is in megabits then by conversion your download speed should be 50 megabytes.

Why is my download speed not accurate?

Where you are downloading from will have a limit on how fast they can send the information from their server to your computer through your connection. This might be top speed sometimes, but if other users are downloading from the same place, this may limit your speed.

Why isn't my Internet speed consistent?

Wireless signals are affected by many factors including distance, wall density, electrical interference, directional antenna range, etc. All of these factors will affect your actual WiFi range. As wireless connection quality varies the connection speeds are renegotiated.

Can you still download with 0 seeders?

With no seeders, there's no guarantee that 100% of the download is available. DHT clients do not need tracker to operate, so it can download without any seeders, as seeders are reported by tracker itself.

Can you download with 0 seeders?

For you to be able to download files through torrent, there needs to be a peer who can upload the pieces of that file to other peers. These peers who have complete copy of file available with them are known as seeders (or seeds). So there is no trick to download files from torrents if there are no seeds.

What does 0 seeders mean?

A seeder is the machine that is sending you the data. If it says 0 seeder then there is no one who can give you the data.
