Downloading from
We can configure different uTorrent settings to maximize the download speed for a particular torrent file. In this tutorial, we are going to show you some simple tricks that may help you increase your uTorrent client’s download speed.
Seeders: Seeders are the people who have completely downloaded the torrent file, and now they are sharing it with other people (peers) who are still downloading the file.
Peers: Peers also known as leechers are the people who are still downloading the file and receiving the data. Peers also share data just like seeders, but only share the data that they have already downloaded.
