uTorrent Turbo Accelerator is a simple and free program that greatly increases your torrent download speeds - it's perfect for that all-too-familiar situation where you decide to watch a movie or listen to some music with your friends, but you end up sitting around for hours and hours waiting on a slow torrent.

The program is free, which is always great, and is quite simple to use. You just have to have uTorrent running in the background while you have uTorrent Turbo Accelerator open, and you should notice your download speeds quickly begin to increase. The software uses some proprietary algorithms to increase your download speed and stability, but basically it takes advantage of a built-in uTorrent function to enable you connect to more downloading peers. Typically, uTorrent will connect you to maybe four or five "peers" - other users who have already downloaded your torrent - and download the torrent data directly from their computers. However, what can happen is that you may be connected to peers who have slow upload speeds, which results in slow download speeds on your end.

uTorrent Turbo Accelerator is able to avoid this issue by requesting additional peers through uTorrent until your download speeds reach the desired level. This means that, even if you initially connected to a slow set of peers, uTorrent Turbo Accelerator will eventually be able to find the fastest peers that will give you the best download speeds - that is, if they exist. If you're trying to download a torrent with only a couple seeders and they have slow speeds, you won't be able to boost your download speeds because there aren't any additional seeders to find.
