Torrents downloading at a slow speed is very irritating even when it has good ratio of seeds and peers. This happens specially when you have slow internet connection. Now you can solve this situation up to an extent with SpeedLord.

does it really work. If yes. how and how much, can you please provide more details.
Well it acts as TCP/IP optimizer, TCP/IP version 4 is the protocol widely used for data transfer over different networks. This software also opens correct router ports for the data to travel to and from the source. These optimizations help in speed boosts in data receiving.
Yes this software works. I got 10 Kbps extra speed after applying the accelerator.
You should try out this software.
Does it accelerate IE for all purpose since is TCP/IP optimizer
No this only improves P2P mechanism. For more information refer to its homepage http://www.p2phood.com/products/speedlord.html
There’s a lot of stuff you can do to speed up a torrent. The easiest is just adding a decent tracker list (make sure it’s not too big though). There’s port forwarding, speed calculating, TCP hacks etc.
The important thing is that you understand what you’re doing incase something goes wrong.
