Softpedia Editor's Review for BitTorrent Turbo Accelerator
|
An innovative plug-in for BitTorrent that will help you find more download sources
Written by Bogdan Popa on July 16th, 2012
Many users rely on BitTorrent when it comes to downloading files, especially large ones, most of them attracted by the impressive transfer rates this file sharing protocol has to offer.
For those who want to squeeze every single byte out of their Internet connection there are lots of tools out there that claim they can greatly increase these speeds.
Such an example is BitTorrent Turbo Accelerator, an application that's specifically designed to work with BitTorrent and boost download speeds as much as possible.
The program is quite easy to use and you won't really spend much time working with it because every single feature that's shown in the main window is quite intuitive. It even hosts a button that activates the BitTorrent application in case it isn't running.
You can thus enable or disable acceleration, choose the period to search for new download sources and the number of downloads to benefit from this acceleration. If you have more than one network interface connected to your system, BitTorrent Turbo Accelerator enables you to choose the one that you want to use.
When it comes to the actual efficiency of this tool, after a comprehensive test, we didn't notice a dramatic increase in speed even if the program reported the whole duration of the acceleration and kept track of every bytes sent and received.
All things considered, BitTorrent Turbo Accelerator is certainly a very easy to use application and it deserves a chance because it may be efficient on some computers.
