Question: How do i make the torrent speed go faster?
Answer:
There is a setting included by Microsoft in every operating system since XP SP3 (including Vista and 7), this limits the number of simultaneous incomplete outbound TCP connection attempts, or half-open connections per second to some number, in XP it's 10, in Vista depends on your package. This was an attempt to reduce the viruses and their spreading, and has no effect on you... until you start to use torrents and other P2P system based on similar mechanics.
How? The torrent client tries to establish many connections with other peers (that are connected to the tracker) within a fractions of seconds. When the limit is reached, new connections will be queued, until some of the current connections are established. (Got me so far?)
Ok, where is the red button to push?
