BitTorrent is ideal for file distributing and downloading as well since content can be transferred at high speeds. For downloads, BitTorrent offers the most flexible and fastest way to get what you desire. However, there are a few things you need to determine in order to achieve the best downloading speeds possible.

Check what bandwidth your ISP actually provides you with: some ISPs conserve bandwidth and deliberately slow down applications that require extra bandwidth. Depending on the services you choose, some ISPs have a limit on the amount you can download. Therefore, in order for the protocol to be effective you ought to consult your vendor.

Bittorrent can be a little problematic to consistently connect. If your connection keeps dropping when you are downloading then check your router for how many connections it can handle: your vendor will be able to provide you the details. Also, you should set your BitTorrent client to the maximum number of connections.

Another issue is to determine the efficiency of your operating system in the networking department. You may need to make changes to how your operating system handles network traffic. Some operating systems such as Windows XP only allow 10 connections at a time. With a DSL connection you ought to change the MTU settings in order for BitTorrent to work efficiently.
