how do i make it fast?? as well as the torrent?

Upgrade your broadband plan. If you are using torrent at the background it may reduce the speed. If you are using wifi ensure you are getting 100% signal for better speed. check no of devices connected to the wifi. Eg your brother or sister may use internet on his/her device for any download.

[Solution]

You can your internet speed up by the following points...
1. Switch to a different browser.
2. Remove unwanted add-ons, extensions, and plugins.
3. Close unused tabs.
4. Allow (some) cookies and caching.

If you still facing the problem then you should change your internet plan...

1) The type of connection you have makes a difference
The type of Internet connection you use is the most important factor in determining your connection speed. The three most common ways to connect to the Internet from your home dial-up, DSL and Cable

2) Second, make sure that your home phone line is in good condition. If the telephone wiring in your home or business is old or deteriorating, you might be picking up stray signals or crosstalk from other phone lines.

3) There are events and conditions that are outside your control. Even with a fast connection, external factors, such as busy websites or spreading computer viruses, can slow the entire web

Check you internet connection first if all cables are jointed properly then after check you internet speed if it is low then you should avoid streaming websites like youtube, dailymotion, games websites etc.

You can speed up by these steps...
Step 1: Read our guide on How to check your internet speed and discover what speed your broad connection is actually producing.
Step 2: Find out what speed you’re paying your internet provider (ISP) for. You may have to phone them to get the answer to this. If you’ve had your broadband for some time, it may be time to upgrade.
Step 3: Check what speed is achievable in your area. This is also covered in our guide on checking your internet speed. A number of ISP’s are starting to use Optical fibres instead of copper telephone cables to offer superfast broadband and this may be available through your ISP. But it is not yet available across the whole of the UK. This type of connection can offer up to 100mb as it claims to be able to transfer data at the speed of light. However, this can still be dependent upon your phone line, so check first what speeds you can realistically expect.
Step 4: Now that you know what speed you’re paying for and what your hardware is capable of producing, there are a number of things you can do that are likely to make your internet run faster
