I was just thinking, to make a torrent run faster, can I make 2 clients, say utorrent and bittorrent run at the same time downloading the same torrent or will this corrupt the files. I know that it works by the pieces that you have and if a piece is already there, it should count it as done. Unless maybe my torrent client that I am using is just taking as much as is available at that time and it wouldn't make a difference. In theory, I think my idea should work. What do you think

sorry 'bout the link ddp

I do not think it is a very good idea. How do you think it will help and not hurt the speed? It MIGHT help if you prioritise the pieces differently. However the client will max out the resorces having two will split the resorces. If both clients work in the same peice it could corupt your file then that file will have to start over.

Bottle necks are either you are not correctly configured, you are being attacked or you are being limited by the other end. It the uploading peer only wants to give you 1 KB that is all you are going to get. The way you can get more bandwidth is add more jobs. If you are being limited by the peers adding more jobs will get you more bandwidth. If your bandwith does not increase and the other jobs slow down when you add jobs the problem is on your end.
