Bittorrent Slow Download Speed Windows 10



When downloading torrents, BitTorrent Speed automatically bids BitTorrent (BTT) to other users for faster speeds. Just use the torrent program like normal, there is nothing else you need to learn or do. Step 3 - Earn BTT When a torrent file finishes downloading, your BitTorrent. Dec 21, 2012 Hello there.I am using bittorrent 7.7.2. I have 7.2 mpbs connection, on google chrome or or Internet Download Manager, I get speed near about 400 to 500 kbps.But on any torrent, speed is only 40 to 70 kbps, average speed is about 20 kbps. I am downloading only one torrent, its health bar is full. If you aren't using a bandwidth monitor, use Windows 10's Task Manager. Click on the Performance Tab. We want to see if the low client speed is the only program consuming bandwidth or if something else is eating it up. I recently switched to Windows 10 and had problems with qBittorrent significantly disrupting my network.

Windows Firewall can block your torrent client or you can say your incoming BitTorrent connections. So, adding an exception to the Windows firewall will be a good option to boost torrent. There are a few simple tweaks you can make to fix your slow internet on Windows 10 and I’ll show you step-by-step on how you can do that within a few seconds. Close the Peer to Peer Update Process on Your Computer.

Although it can be used to distribute and download legitimate files, BitTorrent is mostly associated with downloading copyrighted material like movies, music and games. Many organizations and governments have tried to ban users from accessing popular torrent sites like Kickass or The Pirate Bay, but most users can bypass those restrictions with ease. Another restriction you might come across is harder to bypass as it directly affects the internet connection from your service provider.

Connecting and transferring data between seeds and peers in a torrent client requires a lot of bandwidth so some ISPs throttle P2P traffic at certain times of day or permanently to reduce the load on their network. If that happens and your ISP is throttling your P2P traffic you may never get a good download speed, even when connected to a well seeded torrent. A simple test to see if you are being throttled is to download Ubuntu Linux via torrent, this is always very well seeded and should download at close to the maximum speed your connection can handle.

If the result is anything like the image above and your speed rarely gets above a few KBps on a very well seeded torrent, then your internet service is likely being throttled. Luckily there are ways to bypass this problem and still download torrents at a good speed. A simple solution is to get someone else to download the torrent and then you download the files direct from them. This means no P2P traffic is coming through your connection so no data is being throttled.

Here we have 4 free services that download the torrents for you, then you can download the completed files in your browser at close to full speed, bypassing torrent throttling from your ISP.

1. FileStream

FileStream offers a number of paid plans for its transfer and storage service along with a restricted free plan that offers basic features which should be acceptable to light torrent downloaders. With a free account you get to fetch torrents up to 1GB in size which are then held on the FileStream servers for 3 days.

Firstly create a free FileStream account, once the account is activated you can start supplying torrents to be converted. Paste a Magnet link into the green box or press the green upload button to upload a torrent file from your computer. Uploading a torrent file gives the additional ability to select specific files from within the torrent for download. When it’s done click the Download as Zip button to download the file to your computer.

Before starting it will first offer the a secure SSL or non SSL download. The download speed of the files used all of our connection so should be speedy enough for average users. We found FileStream quite fast and reliable and a decent service to use if the 1GB per file and other free service limitations are enough for your needs.

2. Bitport

Bitport’s free account is more restrictive than most others because you are given 1GB of cloud storage (which is also the maximum file size) but can only add one torrent per 24 hours to the account, even if the torrent is only Kilobytes or a few Megabytes in size. That’s fine for occasional usage but if you need more, look elsewhere.

Create a Bitport account using email or Facebook then you can paste a Magnet link, drag and drop a torrent onto the window or use the “Upload torrent from PC” tab to browse for a torrent file. A good thing about Bitport is when the file is transferred to your cloud storage you can view archives and download individual files inside or stream videos directly from the browser or to an application such as VLC or MPC-HE. Video files can also be converted and played with subtitles in your browser.

Although the free account does say the download speeds will fluctuate, the downloads for us came down at almost the maximum speed of our connection, so this could vary depending on time of day, geographical location or server load.

3. Seedr

In terms of allowances Seedr is quite generous because it offers 2GB of storage by default, but this can be increased easily by referring friends or writing reviews on your blog or twitter account. The size of allowed torrent file is also reasonable because it can be as large as the amount of storage allowance you have available. There is a limit of 1 torrent transfer at once though.

After creating a free Seedr account by supplying an email/password or using Facebook simply paste a Magnet or torrent link into the box and press the red plus icon to add it to your list. The grey upload button will let you browse locally for a torrent file. Adding additional torrents while one is downloading will add them to the wishlist which can be accessed by clicking on the star icon.

The amount you download from Seedr is not limited and you can download multiple files in parallel. We found the speed good and it downloaded at the maximum speed our 11 Mbit connection could handle. A Seedr Chrome extension is also available.

4. BitLet

We’ve mentioned BitLet a lot over the years but as time has moved on it has become more problematic, especially since browsers are doing away with Java support. BitLet requires Java to function so you need the Java Runtime Environment installed and configured as well as a Java plugin capable browser like Internet Explorer 11 or Firefox.

If you want to try BitLet because it might work OK for what you want to download, here’s what to do. We’re using Internet Explorer 11 as an example although you can use any browser that accepts Java plugins. Edge, Chrome and most other Chromium based browsers do not.

1. Visit BitLet and if you don’t have Java installed click on the red text and install it. Make sure to avoid the adware during Java’s installation. Do not try to use BitLet now because it’s blocked and a Java security warning will popup.

2. Go to the Java Control Panel (Start > All Programs > Java > Configure Java). Click the Security tab and press the “Edit Site List” button. Click Add and enter http://www.bitlet.org into the box, press OK and Continue to accept the security warning. BitLet will now have an exception in Java.

3. Close your browser and reopen going to BitLet, click the “select local .torrent” button. It may take a few seconds but eventually a Java security window will popup asking to run the BitLet application. Click the tick box to accept the warning and press Run. A file requester window will enable you to locate the torrent file.

4. Click the Download torrent button and at this point the Windows Firewall or your third party firewall will ask for permission to allow the Java platform binary. Allow it access and choose a folder to save the download to.

A small window will open and should connect to the torrent, if it’s well seeded downloading should begin almost immediately. A green or yellow status circle in the window means you have a connection, red means you may need to allow the default port of 6881 through your firewall or router or change to another port which is already allowed via Settings.

The torrent we tried above was downloading about half of the maximum speed of the connection, something like a well seeded Ubuntu Linux distro maxed it out at around 1.1 MBps. BitLet is very hit and miss nowadays and will not work with many available torrents, several we tried produced errors such as “could not start download” or “could not download metafile”. Because signup is not required though it’s easy enough to try out and see if it works for you.

Important Information About Torrent2DDL

On the face of it Torrent2DDL is one of the best and least restricted services out there and would have been a number 5 in our list. There is no limit to how much you can use and downloads can be downloaded directly, sent to Uptobox or video can be streamed. It all sounds great until you find out there are anti-adblock measures in place and the ads you’re forced to view are the problem. Below is an example of an ad we encountered after clicking on a file download link.

Some of the ads you get served are malicious, the image above is a typical scam asking you to pay for non existent repairs to your computer. This is similar to the infamous Microsoft and Facebook phone scams. Other scams and malicious ads being shown include fake Java updates, fake media player updates and fake Flash Player updates (below).

Advanced users will be able to spot these things easily but less experienced users could get caught out. The tech savvy can get around most of these issues including the anti-adblock by adding custom rules to their ad blocking software but everyone else should stay clear until Torrent2DDL cleans up the malicious ads. It’s sad that one of the better torrent fetching sites is currently one of the most dangerous with the questionable ad services they are using. You have been warned.

Editor’s Note: As you might expect there are other services around similar to those mentioned above. ZbigZ is popular and one we have talked about in another article, Megabox is another service to look at. An alternative way to download transferred torrents is using a Debrid service such as Alldebrid, although it costs money a Debrid service is cheaper than most other premium services and gives the added bonus of downloading links from cyberlockers like Rapidgator or Uploaded.

I always use Bitlet on systems which do not have utorrent installed, or if I’m suggesting a torrent download to a friend who doesn’t know anything about torrents. Never thought it’d have such an additional feature too. Good to know. :)

BitTorrent is a protocol that is being used for file sharing. It has been around since 2001 and is still going strong today with it estimated to be using up at least 50% of all Internet traffic. BitTorrent is not equal to piracy as it is merely a method to transfer file. However there are quite a few Internet Service Providers that don’t like their customers downloading files through BitTorrent and employ technology to block or throttle Internet traffic that is used by BitTorrent.

There are a few different ways to block or throttle BitTorrent by ISP. They could be blocking the BitTorrent tracker host and without a tracker, you wouldn’t be able to connect to any peers. They could also block the BitTorrent website itself but this can be easily bypassed by changing the DNS or use a web proxy. Sometimes an ISP can temporarily lift the BitTorrent ban on certain days or time range that normally starts from midnight till morning.

A more sophisticated method in detecting and controlling BitTorrent traffic is by Deep Packet Inspection. This system is able to intelligently detect BitTorrent usage and starts shaping the traffic by throttling the download speed to a minimum without requiring specific rules of blocking BitTorrent websites or trackers.

As we said earlier, not all BitTorrent usage is linked to piracy. There are many legitimate software packages such as the different Linux distributions that can be downloaded using BitTorrent. If you are curious to know if your ISP is throttling or slowing down BitTorrent usage, here are some ways to test it without getting into trouble.

Determine Internet speed

Before you can determine if your ISP is throttling your BitTorrent download speed, you must first know what is the full Internet connection speed. A good and easy way to test is by visiting speedtest.net from your favorite web browser. Speedtest.net will automatically find test servers that are closest to you and even perform a ping test to determine which is the best host to test on if there are multiple servers located at the same place. Simply click the “BEGIN TEST” button to start.

After finished testing your Internet connection speed, take note of the details particularly the “download speed” located at top. That is the full download speed that can be achieved by downloading from the standard HTTP port 80 which is normally not blocked or throttled.

Test BitTorrent Download

The best way to test BitTorrent is obviously to use a BitTorrent client and try downloading a file. However there are some concerns if some anti piracy agencies are able to track and fine users for downloading pirated contents, or installing some spyware that is bundled in the BitTorrent client application. We’ll recommend a safe BitTorrent client that is clean from unnecessary adware and also a legitimate source to download a legal file.

1. Download Deluge BitTorrent Client Portable, run and extract.

2. Visit Ubuntu download page, scroll down to the BitTorrent area and select any version of Ubuntu to download.

3. Run Deluge, drag the Ubuntu .torrent file that you’ve downloaded in step 2 and drop it to Deluge. Click the Add button to start downloading Ubuntu using BitTorrent protocol.

4. Take note of the “Down Speed” column. Ubuntu is a well seeded and healthy torrent so you should achieve the download speed similar to the results you get from speedtest.net if your ISP does not throttle BitTorrent traffic.

Another sign of your ISP not blocking or throttling BitTorrent traffic is when you see that the download speed achieving the maximum speed in just a few seconds instead of having to wait 10-30 minutes. Refer to the “Down Speed” column at the animated image below.

Once you’ve finished testing, you can right click on the ubuntu listed in Deluge, select “Remove Torrent” followed by clicking on the “Remove With Data” button. You can now delete the whole DelugePortable folder.

If you prefer to run a BitTorrent download and upload test without downloading or installing any third party BitTorrent client software, there is an online service called Glasnost that has been around since 2010 to easily test if your ISP is sharing your Internet traffic. There are different tests that you can run apart from BitTorrent which is selected by default.

You will need to wait 500 seconds for a series of automated download and upload tests to be run to determine if your traffic rate is being limited by your ISP. The report page will either show if there is an indication that your ISP limits your uploads/downloads or not, or if the measurement is too noisy. Noisy measurement can be caused by unstable Internet connection or even by your ISP as a method to throttle BitTorrent traffic.

Do take note that you cannot run Glasnost tests on Google Chrome because they’ve stopped support NPAPI plugins such as Java. You can however still run Glasnost tests on other web browsers like Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera.

I only have a problem with upload speed.
I hardly get any upload at all (several KB/s occasionally) with my current ISP to get my ratio up. :/
I hope there is a way to bypass that.

Hello Ray,

Just to comment on your article Ref; Download speeds etc, here in the UK download speeds from torrents are quite exceptional for the time being. We are keeping updated as to the outcomes of some of the legal actions being taken against some distributors by Spain, USA, UK, Germany all are tripling their efforts to shut the Web down if they get their way. Lets hope for some common sense.
