Enable DNA to increase uTorrent Download Speed

DNA in uTorrent is a service from BitTorrent which helps you increasing utorrent download speed. The technique used is very simple, it accelerates by downloading in parallel from multiple sources and for a shorter period instead of using the same source for a longer time. It is also called as BitTorrent Delivery Network Accelerator. You can use DNA to increase uTorrent speed.

BitTorrent DNA is faster because it delivers downloads to you from multiple, nearby sources in parallel. It looks for sources which are closer, and it also uses your network connection to deliver content required by others. Your connection is used only when it is idle; so, your internet performance is never slowed.

The advantage of using DNA is that it removes the bottleneck by distributing the load to multiple sources instead of us just one source. Of course, the number of seeds is still one reason. You can think of it as threading. DNA service makes most of the peer-to-peer service as it exchanges data with others i.e. if you gave data A and your peer has data B and you both need it, an exchange is made.
