The free and open source torrent client QBittorrent has become the most popular torrent client in recent times, thanks to its lightweight installation, its many features and, in general, is a great alternative to μTorrent.
Of course, many torrent users don't know how to maximize their download speeds when using a torrent client. This Appual guide will guide you in configuring the QBittorrent client itself to achieve the highest possible download speeds.
Note: Appual $ 0027s does not condone illegal piracy. Torrents are a wonderful method to download legal content , and there are numerous websites that host public domain torrents 100% legal.
At the same time, numerous programs state that “accelerate” torrent downloads while running in the background, they are absolutely false and, often, contain adware / spyware even worse, as keyloggers. There is no magic formula to speed up torrenting, apart from having the proper configuration.
Select an appropriate port
The first thing you want to do is select and open a good port.
You need to test if the preconfigured port in QBittorrent is already open: use a web portal like CanYouSeeMe and, with QBittorrent open in the background, take the port from Options> Connection> Port used for incoming connections from QBittorrent and put it in CanYouSeeMe.
If the port is recognized as open, everything is fine on this front. But if not, we should open a new port on your router. Doing this depends on the model of your router, so it is best to refer to a specific guide for your router to get it.
Whatever the case, you must select a port from the range 49160-65534. This is because the old port range of torrent programs was typically 6881-6999, but many ISPS started blocking those specific ports. You also want to avoid ports that are shared by other programs, and the previously indicated range should not already be in use.
After forwarding your router ports, change it also in QBittorrent alternatives, and try again with CanYouSeeMe.
If you want to be absolutely sure that there will be no conflicts with the ports you want to use and with other Windows programs, you can open a command line and type:
Netstat -a> c: log.txt
This will scan all ports in use and save a log file. When reading the log file, you will know which ports are already in use.
When it comes to opening and forwarding ports on your router, there are many specific guides for routers, so we cannot give a guide to “one size” here.
Internal QBittorrent configuration
When adjusting the internal settings of QBittorrent, possibly the most important setting is the charge rate. You want to limit this to about the 80% of its total load capacity. This is because too high a charge rate can adversely affect the discharge rate..
Despite this you if you want to load, not uploading anything will seriously affect your download speed, since the client ( the trackers / Other users) They will consider you a $ 0027 for $ 0027 and it will be difficult for you to connect with any partner.
PROFESSIONAL SUGGESTION: If the problem is with your computer or laptop, you should try to use Reimage Plus, which can scan repositories and replace damaged and lost files. This works in most of the cases when the problem originates due to system corruption. You can download Reimage by clicking here
The best way to get the most out of your upload rate is to use Speedtest.net, write down your upload rate and configure your QBittorrent settings accordingly.
When on Speedtest.net, you must click on “Setting” in the upper right corner and change the speed to Kbps instead of Mbps. This will help us to better calculate.
Once you have your average upload rate, go to Azureus calculator, which was specifically designed to recommend torrent client setup. In the upper box, enter the average upload speed reported by Speedtest.net and then adjust the QBittorrent settings according to the suggestions from the Azureus calculator.
It should be noted that some ISPs manipulate / show inaccurate speed test results. As an example, Comcast utiliza PowerBoost, which can be extremely misleading for real world speed results. This is because Comcast PowerBoost provides a temporary burst improved upload and download speeds, but subsequently slows down after the first few 10 MB. Because, al usar SpeedTest ( which uses small files to test download speed / load) , its actual speeds They are generally something like the 60% speed test result.
In these kinds of situations, you have two options. You can put the 60% of the speed test result in the Azureus calculator, or you can start torrenting and monitor it closely – find out where your average upload rate falls – and use that number.
Using paired fonts and encoding
A QBittorrent, if you go to Tools> Options> BitTorrent, there are several checkboxes at the top.
-
Habilite DHT (decentralized network) to find more pairs
-
Enable peer sharing (PeX) to find more pairs
-
Enable local peer discovery to find more peers
Having them enabled will undoubtedly help download speed, since these settings will help you find more pairs ( seeds ) to connect and from which to download. DHT and PeX operate on a more global scale, while Local Peer Discovery will try to find pairs. on your ISP or in an extended network ( as part of the LAN) .
Final notes
A good rule of thumb is to always select torrents that have a high seed ratio, even though you actually pretend more seeds than couples / leeches. It is not simply a question of how many seeds has a torrent, because a torrent with 1 million seeds could be incredibly slow for everyone if there is also 1 million pairs.
Then as an example, a stream with 30 seeders and 70 pairs has a seed-to-pair ratio of 30%. A stream with 500 seeds and 2500 pairs has a seed-to-pair ratio of the 20%. Then, while the second stream has many more seeds, there are also many more couples trying to connect to those seeds.
SUGGESTION: If none of the methods have solved your problem, we suggest you use Reimage repair tool, which can scan repositories to replace damaged and lost files. This works in most cases, when the problem originates due to a system corruption. Reimage will also optimize your system for maximum performance. You can download Reimage by clicking here
