The largest file sharing protocol bittorrent has changed everything when it comes to file sharing. It is a nice platform for downloading large files and Sharing all kinds of file on the internet although Bittorent is mainly famous for illegal file sharing .
There are a lot of different bittorrent clients that you can download. I think for me the best are Bittorrent, uTorrent and bitcomet.

Here is a few tips to speed up uTorrent Client. also it can be implemented on any other torrent clients ,which you are using.
Increase TCP connections
You need to increase the number of TCP connections that are allowed at maximum.Windows XP Service Pack 2 came with the number of allowed open connections to 10. This is to stop any piece of spyware(in our case bittorent client even) from totally taking over your internet connection. TCP connection allowed should be 50 for optimal performance. The best way to increase the maximum number of connections is to apply patch that is available at www.lvllord.de. A nice way to fix this is to download this patch .
The little tweak to the torrent client works great in certain times. If you’re using uTorrent go to Options menu then Preferences. In the Preferences go the Advanced Options. In the advanced options change the net.max_halfopen connections to 80. In the same section change the max half open tcp connections to 80. Once your done click on OK and you are all set. This tweak will let the maximum TCP connection available for the bittorrent client. Now start downloading you’ll realize a little difference in the download speed. Port forwarding technique is more effective than this.
A third point of interest is that some “windows updates” revert your tweaked tcp connections back to 10. So it’s wise to check this every now and then. You can check this by going to (in windows xp) Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer > System… Look for event 4226 (sort by event).
If there are a lot of daily occurrences it’s likely that the max amount of half-open tcp connections was set back to 10. Or you’re infected with some nasty spy ware…
Torrent Client Configuration
In order to apply these tips you must know your maximum up- and download speed. You can test your bandwidth over here (stop all download activity while testing).
Settings 1-4 can be found in the options, settings or preference tab of most torrent clients.
Maximum upload speed
Probably the most important setting there is. Your connection is (sort of) like a pipeline, if you use you maximum upload speed there’s not enough space left for the files you are downloading. So you have to cap your upload speed.
Use the following formula to determine your optimal upload speed…
80% of your maximum upload speed
so if your maximum upload speed is 40 kB/s, the optimal upload rate is 32kB/s But keep seeding!
Bypass Firewall
This is one factor that is somewhat out of your control – the Seeder to Peer ratio or the share ratio of a torrent. There is a general misconception that torrents with thousands of seeders and peers would perform better than those which only have these numbers in 10s. This isn’t true. In fact, the more important factor is seeder/peer ratio of a torrent. So a torrent with something like 23,875 seeds and 47,234 peers would perform a lot worse than one with 14 seeds and 4 peers. so keep in mind more seeds great, more upload not so great.
Having multiple trackers for a torrent generally improves its performance. Having alternate trackers means you can connect to more peers and seeders, thus allowing more stable connections. Open trackers work best in this case, so just add the following to the list of trackers in your torrents:

Be warned though, this may greatly increase your internet bandwidth utilization, so if you don’t have an unlimited data plan, then make sure you keep things in check. as i mentioned above the more you seed, the more you reap.
