    1. Check Your Internet Connection and ISP Throttling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Before tweaking settings, make sure your internet\u2019s actually working. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Run a Speed Test<\/strong> \u2013 Use Speedtest.net<\/a> ho\u1eb7c Fast.com<\/a> to check your connection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Compare Speeds<\/strong> \u2013 If web browsing is fine but torrent speeds are stuck at 0 B\/s, your ISP may be throttling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Try Other Downloads <\/strong>\u2013 Test non-torrent downloads (like from a browser) to see if the slowdown is specific to torrent traffic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Enable a VPN or proxy <\/strong>\u2013 Use a VPN with P2P support to encrypt your traffic and hide torrent activity from your ISP. Or a proxy to re-route traffic through a different destination. \u2019<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Retest Torrent Download<\/strong> \u2013 With the VPN active, restart your torrent client and monitor for any speed improvement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      2. Port Forwarding and Firewall Configuration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Torrents need open ports to connect with peers. If your firewall or router blocks those ports, your client can\u2019t talk to the swarm, so downloads never start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
