there are 2 different ways of downloading.

download off a site or else direct downloading means that you can download

the data from certain servers or mirrors with a certain speed up to the speed

limit of the server.

download using a torrent is different procedure. you downloading the data from many many different PC around the world and the same time you give some data back.

the speed you can achieve depends how many users have the file (seeders) or are connected to your PC.

if the data you want is rare then download it from a site as there wont be enough people to seed the file via torrent. But if it is like the latest trailer of a movie or fun based movie etc then the speed via torrent will be probably a lot faster.

How do you download torrents files more than 4.5 GB?

To download torrent files (.torrent) from any website you first need a program that will let you download those files in that format. A very reliable torrent downloading software is Utorrent, which can be downloaded for free from: www.utorrent.com/download.php After downloading and installing Utorrent, you can simply go to any of the torrent websites I've listed below and search for torrent files. Remember that when you download the torrents, it will ask you whether to open or save the file. Select the 'Open with' option, and make sure the listed program to open with is 'Utorrent'. Here are some of the most popular torrent listing websites: - www.isohunt.com - www.piratebay.org - www.demonoid.com


Does seeding a torrent affect your download speed for other torrents?

When you are downloading/uploading the file, you are referred to as the 'leecher'. Once your download is complete, you will see that your Bittorent client will keep on uploading the file, since downloading takes much less time than uploading. Once you have completely uploaded the file, you are known as a 'seeder'. The more the seeders on a torrent, the faster the downloads. That's why its called P2P (peer-to-peer), so you download and share at the same time! Seeding will not affect your download speed, since your download and upload speed are two different things, uploads do not affect downloads!


Do the number of seeders and leachers matter when downloading torrents?

It would be better if there were more seeders, as it would download faster. Don't think number of leechers matters. Added by Krofs" Yes. The general rule here is to choose torrents that have a high seed to peer ratio. Seeds have 100% of the content associated with the torrent and are only uploading to peers. Peers also upload to other peers, but are also looking for other peers to upload to themselves and their download capacity is almost always higher than their upload capacity. This rule applies even though one swarm has significantly more active users than another. For example, a torrent with 30 seeders and 70 peers (30% seeders) will generally be faster than one with 500 seeders and 2500 peers (20% seeders) as the average upload capacity available to the peers will be higher. http://torrentfreak.com/how-to-pick-the-fastest-torrents-090707/ Optimizing Bittorrent Clients for Speed http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/optimizing-bittorrent-clients-speed.htm

How can you increase speed of torrent download?

To increase torrent download is to download a torrent which has more seeds than leeachers. To add more trackers to increase seeds is to copy the hash code and paste it in torrentz.eu, then find the trackers and copy them in your torrent. Google this if you get stuck. People try to increase internet speeds with softwares and tweaks but they dont work. Trust me. You can always port forward your torrent software. If you dont know how to do this, go to portforward.com or google port forward torrent software.

How do you upload files in u torrent?

In uTorrent select File>Create new torrent (Ctrl+N). You will then see the Create new torrent screen. At the top is the "source", that is the file(s) you wish to upload. If it is one file, choose the "file" option. If it is more than one file, it must be in a folder and choose "directory". The next step is adding tracker(s). If this is for a private site, you need to check their rules on uploading for the tracker info. If this is for public sites, then here is a site that lists public trackers that require no registration: http://www.trackon.org/ Web seeds - for most this should be left blank. This is a regular web server hosting the torrent. You can add a comment if you wish. Leave piece size to "auto detect". If the torrent is for a private site, check "private". (This disables DHT & PEX) If the torrent is for a public site, leave private unchecked. Preserve file order - tells µTorrent to create the .torrent file with files and directories sorted by name, in ascending order. By default, µTorrent sorts files in the .torrent file by size, in descending order. (this is up to you). "Start seeding" makes the torrent active immediately. If the torrent is for a private site, you may have to download the torrent from the site and point the save path to your existing data, for the torrent to start seeding. Click "create and save as" to set the location of the torrent file and the name.
