Port Forwarding 

Port forwarding is where the real speed comes into the equation. Imagine your router or modem as a door to the internet, where each piece of data gets strip-searched on its way in and out - well forwarding the ports is like allowing the data to freely walk through. It speeds up the process massively.
However, every router is different but here are the basic steps to take:

Go back to the connections settings and enter a memorable 4 digit number that preferably doesn't begin with 8.

 you go to web portforward.com you can chose your router from a list and follow customised instructions for your individual router.

Additional Tips

- Always pick a torrent file with more seeders than leeches otherwise you have no chance of getting any sort of resonable speed
- Don't try limiting the download or upload speeds. I've seen numerous guides with recommendations of limiting speeds, in all honesty -I used to do it myself. However, this doesn't work and its best to let the software sort it all out itself.
- Always seed! Don't go around taking data without giving any back yourself, it's just not very nice.
