"Hello, my name is Izabella. And now I'm going to show you how to run BitTorrent faster. Usually, when at the first time you install the program on your computer the downloading speed is really low. You can modify the settings. And with the help of this, you can make the speed faster. Open the program BitTorrent. There select Preferences and Bandwidth and this Global Upload. Wait, let me think. Part, you have to un-tick Automatic. And instead of 20 type in the number that is the 80 percent of your Maximum Upload Speed. And there is an Alternate Upload Rate. When I'm downloading the same number. Then click on Apply. Then on O.K. And if you have any bandwidth still in program, in use at the moment. Then close down. It's like Skype or ICQ. And you'll also have to set the Firewall Anti Virus. So that it doesn't disturb the downloading."
