How it Works

3 steps to faster torrent downloads and BTT rewards

Step 1 - Enable your wallet

BitTorrent Speed is a feature that extends the traditional experience of our Windows and Mac-based torrent clients. When downloading or upgrading to the latest version of µTorrent Classic for Windows, or BitTorrent or µTorrent Web, a digital cryptocurrency wallet and a BTT token balance will be automatically enabled.

Enable your wallet

Step 2 - Enjoy faster download speeds

When downloading torrents, BitTorrent Speed automatically bids BitTorrent (BTT) to other users for faster speeds. Just use the torrent program like normal, there is nothing else you need to learn or do.

Enjoy faster download speeds

Step 3 - Earn BTT

When a torrent file finishes downloading, your BitTorrent client can automatically earn BTT by seeding. The longer you seed torrents, the more BTT crypto torrent tokens you may be able to earn.

Reasons to try BitTorrent Speed.

Easy to use

The benefits of BitTorrent Speed are automated, including token bidding for faster downloads and BTT token rewards. There is nothing new you need to learn.

Backward compatible

Not interested in earning tokens with BitTorrent Speed? You can keep using your existing client, as it’s fully compatible with the new generation of BitTorrent Speed enabled torrent clients.

No mining

The blockchain does not need your computer resources to process transactions, so BitTorrent applications will never mine.

Free to use

Despite the addition of BitTorrent Speed, the family of BitTorrent products will always be free for everyone to use.

Tips on how to optimize your BitTorrent download speed

BitTorrent Speed is a product that enables faster download speeds but it isn’t the only way to boost the performance of your torrent client. Below are a few tips to help speed up the BitTorrent Classic desktop torrent client and the BitTorrent Web online torrent downloader.
Check the number of seeds
Because the BitTorrent protocol relies on users with other BitTorrent clients to seed (also known as sharing) the file you wish to download, it’s important to check the number of seeds. If the torrent has a few or no seeds, it may not be possible to download all of the files you need. Similarly, if the ratio of seeders (users sharing your file) is significantly outnumbered by the number of leechers (users downloading your file), then it may take longer for your torrent program to download the complete torrent. Inside BitTorrent Classic, you can check this ratio by clicking the ‘Trackers’ tab and looking in the Seeds and Peers column.
Limit the number of downloads
Although BitTorrent Classic is a bulk torrent downloader, and BitTorrent Web enables you to download multiple files simultaneously, the more downloads you have running, the longer each individual download will take. If you need to optimize your BitTorrent download speed for a single torrent, keep that in mind before you begin several downloads. Or, if the torrents are already downloading, pause a few to speed up your priority downloads.
