Compared to downloading files from a single server, a torrent file is less likely to fail mid-download and you can always pause and resume downloading a file. That said, you might have noticed that at times, some torrents download slow. You might have several downloads in progress and any one or two of them might be ridiculously slow. Torrent clients have the option to limit download speed for files that are downloading. This feature is applied selectively i.
We should also mention that if you have one too many downloads in progress, you will not get uniform speed across all files that are downloading. Let me start off by saying I'm not the most tech savvy person around.
So, I don't really know why this happened. Yesterday, I was downloading an anime series and decided to do it season by season. So, I'm asking, do I need to configure something or it's just that the world hates me? I really wanna finish that series. The torrent has 53 seeds and leeches. Also, in the picture, notice that my download of Eminem is at What happens if you turn off all other torrent and download the link in my signature for slackware?
Try that and tells us what happens. Also, I didn't follow anything. Didn't setup anything. Just installed utorrent and started downloading whatever.

The third image is from a server I have in the Netherlands. Notice that not only are there fewer hops, the ping time is substantially smaller, only averaging 2. Each of these hops represent a potential bottleneck, or slowdown, for your traffic.
The more direct the route between your computer and the download server, the lower the number of potential problem spots where your traffic could get held up. A proxy server is a type of network connection usually another computer that acts as an intermediary for some or all of your internet requests.
Some ISPs use proxy servers as a means to deliver cached content to users and some or many multihoster services use proxy servers to provide access to third-party services to their members. In this context, a proxy server is a go-between for your downloads. When you download a file normally using your web browser, you connect to the filehosting site or whatever type of site is storing the download directly, as such:.
Your communications run back and forth between the download server directly. However, when a masking proxy server is in use, your downloads and transmissions look more like this:. Your computer communicates with the proxy server, which then communicates with the download server, then the download server to the proxy server, then back to your computer.
A proxy server can afford you some extra privacy, but it is one more step in the download process which, again, is potentially another bottleneck. Proxy servers are usually setup on computers, but can be run as applications on routers even.
Which, routers are mini computers…. However, they are, too subject to the rule of proximity and distance, not only to your connection, but also the download server. I had an issue where one of my servers was reporting as offline on a local monitor and my first response was to blame the hosting company. Arrogant and dimwitted actually, at least it is for me as I should know better.
I could give you story after story about false assumptions made by myself or others laying blame on people or services that were not to blame for my or their problems. I hope this does just that — gives you some insight into why download speeds are what they are, for better or worse. If you have anything to add or have questions, feel free to leave a comment below.
