…hey guys! I know lot’s of you out there wanted to download files from a torrent, here are some information regarding this one and tips on how to have a good connection.
Downloading a software or a movie using torrent is much easier and enjoyable rather than downloading hosting site, this means you don’t need any download accelerator to resume downloads that are not yet finish, in how many percent just click resume download then percentage were the download stop will continue. There is no limit also not like hosting site that there is limitation for the download.
Now a days there are lot’s of people using torrent in downloading because it is safe and effective, like for instance your downloading more 2 gb at night, probably the following morning it is finish but this also depend on your connection speed of course… and you can download 5 movies at the same time, so this can really enjoy…
BitTorrent tracker centrally coordinates the P2P transfer of files among users. BitTorrent trackers are software server “toolkit” applications that typically run on Web sites. BNBT and CBTT are names of common BitTorrent tracker toolkits.
Tracker software serves up torrent files for download from a Web site. The tracker maintains information about all BitTorrent clients utilizing each torrent. Specifically, the tracker identifies the network location of each client either uploading or downloading the P2P file associated with a torrent. It also tracks which fragment(s) of that file each client possesses, to assist in efficient data sharing between clients.
BitTorrent clients connect to a tracker when attempting to work with torrent files.
The tracker notifies the client of the P2P file location (that is normally on a different, remote server). If the BitTorrent tracker fails or is taken off line, clients will be unable to continue sharing those P2P files. A tracker normally utilizes TCP port 6969 for network communications.
POLL: Which BitTorrent Client(s) Are The Best?
1) Original BitTorrent
2) Azureus
3) BitComet
4) BitTornado
5) Shareaza
6. Utorrent
7) Other / None
Increase download speed of a BitTorrent client
Some users of the BitTorrent client report experiencing slow downloads when sharing P2P files. This is most likely to occur on computers behind a home router or software firewall.
Being behind firewalls, the BitTorrent client may block incoming Bit Torrent network connections. Given the load balancing and “swarming” nature of the BitTorrent network, clients unable to take incoming requests for uploads will naturally be allowed less bandwidth for downloads.
To solve this problem, consider the following:
When a user starts a BitTorrent client, the client sets up a network resource called a “port” to allow other Bit Torrent clients to connect ot it.
Each port possesses a unique number called the “TCP port number.”
A BitTorrent client normally associates the TCP port number 6881. However, if this port is busy for some reason, the client will instead try successively higher ports (6882, 6883, and so on up to a limit of 6999). In order for outside BitTorrent clients to reach this one, they must be able to connect to the correct port.
When connecting to another BitTorrent client, the requesting client will first try port 6881, then 6882, and so on. However, if the computer is on a firewalled network, the incoming request may not reach these ports. On the other hand, if these requests succeed, the accepting client will be able to download faster.
Firewalls can block nearly all of the ports used by P2P clients. To ensure the BitTorrent ports are made available to requesting clients, a home router or firewall can be manually configured to accept them. Most home routers possess a feature called “Port Range Forwarding” to do this. This feature allows the administer to tell the firewall where traffic for a given port number should be directed.
For BitTorrent, many home users set up port forwarding on the TCP range 6881-6889. These ports must be directed to the computer running the BitTorrent client. If more than one computer on the network may run BitTorrent, a different range such as 6890-6899 or 6990-6999 can be used for each. Remember that BitTorrent uses ports in the 6881-6999 only.
Many people don’t realize that Windows XP computers include the built in Windows Firewall. If port forwarding is set up on a home router, but Windows Firewall is running on the BitTorrent client computer, incoming requests may still fail to reach the client. Ensure the Windows Firewall is either disabled or is set up to allow the appropriate BitTorrent ports to pass through. The same recommendation applies to other software firewalls.
On home networks without a router, the software firewall (Windows Firewall, ZoneAlarm, or other) must be set up to provide the equivalent forwarding or pass-through capability as needed.
that’s it guys, I hope this can help you in dealing with such downloading procedure… enjoy!!!
