How to Speed Up Bittorrent for LAN
Bittorrent is a type of file sharing technology that allows you to both download a file and share it at the same time. Even if your download isn't complete, you are sharing the parts of the file that you've already obtained. If you're using Bittorrent to share files over a local area network, your download speed is going to be directly related to your upload speed. If you want to increase Bittorrent's speed, you will need to make sure your upload speed is set as high as possible.

Enter your Bittorrent client's "Settings" page. For example, uTorrent users would click "Options" and then "Preferences." Every client is different, however. Some--like Vuze--have a dedicated "Settings" button on the toolbar.
