Torrent Softwares slowing down or freezing my computer (self.torrents) submitted 1 year ago by superiain i'd used uTorrent for several years with no issue, then a couple of months ago i noticed uTorrent started using up a lot of my processor power and sometimes even freezing my computer entirely. Finally Slow torrent download speeds may be the result of a lack of seeds and a slow internet connection, but there are ways to tweak your uTorrent settings and optimize your connections for maximum download speeds. Adding new, faster torrent trackers is another good way to breathe new life back into a slow or dead torrent.

Torrents VERY slow when using a VPN
I'm using PIA and qbittorrent, and when I am connected to the VPN I get about 150-200k vs 5-8M without it. I tried unchecking UTP protocol, enabling a PIA port and nothing works. Multiple torrents tried on multiple PIA regions. The funny thing is now that I connected to the VPN sometimes the connection will be bad when I disconnect so I don't know if I messed something up.
What Do I Do If My Download Torrent Slows Download
I also noticed where it says seeds and peers, the number outside the parenthesis is frequently around 0-5 while the inside is like 70-100, e.g. seeds 3(70). Perhaps this is the problem, but I downloaded this file yesterday before VPN in about 10 minutes so I know it's not a file problem. What can I do?
I will be going back to school in a few days and really like being able to use torrents without going to Starbucks since the school always catches people. Any tips?

It took me a while to discover the cause of major system slow-down and glitching of my laptop and it turns out to be torrent downloading at high speeds (1MB/s, if relevant). I’m not sure what happens then, is it a problem of>
I agree with Jan that the most likely scenario is a very high number of concurrent connections. Personally, I never go about 200 or so, but it may well be that 1,000 will be fine as well. The other thing to check is your upload speed limit. If your inbound and outbound connections are utilised heavily, then even if your computer is not actually working hard, any network connection will appear very sluggish.
- Thank you for the reply.As I just answered Jan, I just lowered the max number of concurrent connections to 500. I understand that my network quality in, for example, browsing, would be compromised by downloading at maximum speeds, but that's not my concern. https://everplace206.weebly.com/jesus-take-the-wheel-free-download.html. The whole systems gets glitchy, moving my cursor is like stop motion, not to mention watching a film. Literally, stop motion.So, yeah, question. still unresolved. (The two dots are just for the drama, of course).

then try utorrent then start the process one by one until to find which one causing the problem.

perhaps your antimalware is causing this try to white list torrent.
What Do I Do If My Download Torrent Slows Down Windows 10
I suggest to use the Resource Monitor to see in detail where performance is lost. It will give you details about what is using your CPU, memory, hard drive I/O and network.
Usually Torrent should only have an effect on network related things e.g. browsing, email and whatnot but since I'm not familiar with how Windows 8 handles excessive network connections I wouldn't rule it out that some system network service is getting overloaded, or maybe the torrent application itself?
One thing you should do is check your Torrent settings. Most of the time issues with Torrent come from having the total maximum connections set way too high. My personal recommendation is to have it no higher than 1500 concurrent connections, better 1000. Depending on the settings available this would translate to e.g. having 5 concurrent downloads with a maximum of 200 peers per Torrent.
Also are you using a wired connection or WiFi? Because Torrent over WiFi is never really a good idea.
- Thanks for the reply. After taking a look at the Resource Monitor, I found that all systems are normal - CPU levels are optimum (never going above 40%, and BitTorrent is using most of the CPU, if nothing more important is running), around 30% of my laptop's memory is being used when nothing but Google Chrome, Skype and BitTorrent are running (asides Windows' mandatory services) and hard disk I/O is usually maxed at 10MB/s. I believe these are all normal numbers, so I still have no clue why is this happening.Concerning the application itself, I just set my connection limit to 500, just to see the difference (it was 999999, for some reason) and there wasn't any.So, question still unresolved. Any more guidance would be appreciated.
How old / fast is your laptop? If it's not very quick, you may be experiencing this problem because downloading the file is taking up system resources. We don't notice it as often on modern systems, but there actually is some CPU and hard drive utilization when a file downloads. Maybe open Windows Task Manager and see how much of your processor is being used, and by what.
