Method 2

Method 2 of 2:

Changing the Incoming Port

1
Open the uTorrent app. This has a green icon with a white "u" in it that can be accessed from the apps drawer.
- If you're experiencing slow downloads, changing the incoming port to one less common could increase the speed.
2
Tap the ☰ tab. This is in the top-left corner when you open uTorrent and pulls up a drop-down menu with more options.
3
Select Settings in the menu.
4
Scroll down and tap on Incoming Port. This lists the port where Utorrent accesses download information and is usually set to 6881 by default.
5
Increment the incoming port by 1. Once you tap the Incoming Port option, a pop-up window with the port number will appear, where you can rewrite the port number to 6882.
6
Tap OK. This will finish reconfiguring the incoming port for uTorrent and should increase its download speed.
- If you don't notice any difference in download speed after incrementing by 1, try incrementing it again (to 6883) to see if that resolves the issue.
