The reason behind this is to guard the system from possible attacks from the Internet, but it also limits our download speed. If your torrent client gives you the option to increase these number, you can open your ports to increase your download speed.

The transfer of the torrent file is done between many different peers. Rather than the data being transferred from one machine to the next, the various pieces of the file are held on many different computers. Seed the file forward…
