how do i speed up my computer!?

Question

hi i want to know is there a way to speed up my computer so i can download torrents faster

Answer 1

You need more memory or a highspeed internet connection

Answer 2

Torrents require a high bandwidth, at least 512 kbit/s for acceptable downloading speed. Cleaning your computer registry or junk files won't increase the speed of your downloads.
I recommend 2 Mbit/s connection, 1 GB of RAM, 120 GB of Hard drive with 2 Ghz processor.
