A simple tutorial that is valid both on Mac and the Windows PC. And as a problem, but also as a solution.

Although we do not encourage use torrents than for legal purposes, many internet users use these resources download programs, movie, games, operating systems, courses and other madness. It is a simple and fast way to download large data packages in a very short time, if at all Internet connection it helps us. It is also somewhat safe from the point of view of a potential virulent if the download of a torrent is made from a unified community where users interact well with each other. Gender filelist.ro.

I've seen many users complain about computer lock or laptopafter I start download a torrent.
Too few times this problem occurs because of RAM (memory) and CPU (processor) resources. In most situations, it's about overloading your hard driveacquis. In recent years Internet speed has grown a lot, and the old hard drivein particular those with 5600 rpm do not handle download speed. Specifically, a good internet connection allows you to write a very large amount of data on your hard drive in a very short time. If we do not have one HDD with 7200 rpm or SSD with higher write / read speeds, then blocking pcor laptop is almost inevitable when downloading large files from torrents.

The problem can be solved very simply by limit download speed of all files that are being downloaded from the torrent or only some of them.

BitTorrent, one of the most used applications for downloading and uploading torrents, offers very simple solutions for these limitations.

Open the app, go to the menu Options > Bandwidth, again at "Global Download Rate Limit”Set the maximum download speed in kb / s.

It is also good to have the options checked here "Apply rate limit to transport overhead"And"Apply rate limit to uTP connections". Apply & OK to save changes.

Another method of limiting the download speed of the torrent is the individual method.

We go to the list of files that are being downloaded, select and right-click. In the menu that opens we go to "Bandwidth Allocation", then we have several limitation options.

We can choose "High", "Normal", "Low" or set a default download speed between 25 kbps and 1000 kbps.

Limiting the download speed will reduce the hard drive's request and, as a result, you will avoid blocking the caller or laptop for this reason.

We also find these limitation options on other torrent download applications, regardless of what they are for macOS or Windows.

I am happy to share my experiences in the field of computers, mobile phones and operating systems, to develop web projects and to bring the most useful tutorials and advice. I like to "play" on the iPhone, MacBook Pro, iPad, AirPort Extreme and on operating systems macOS, iOS, Android and Windows.
