How to increase Downloading Speed using BitComet in 2023

Sometimes, even after having good internet connection, the download speed is not up to the mark. This is because your browser establishes single connection to download the file. However, if you increase the number of connections, you can download with high speed. This is what download managers do. Similarly, you can use BitComet to increase your downloading speed using multiple connections.

DownloadStudio, Internet Download Manager etc. are commonly used download managers. However, BitComet not only allows you to speed up your downloads but it also doubles as Torrent downloading application. Plus it’s completely free and doesn’t require any subscription or trial. Besides that, it also provides other features like resume or restart broken downloads etc.
