Whether you're hitting 0 peers, extremely slow download rates, or can't connect to torrent sites due to geo-blocks or ISP throttling — this guide will show you how to use Proxy IP + Multithreaded Down

Struggling to download rare or slow torrent files like classic movies, raw anime discs, or archived software packages? You're not alone.

Whether you're hitting 0 peers, extremely slow download rates, or can't connect to torrent sites due to geo-blocks or ISP throttling — this guide will show you how to use Proxy IP + Multithreaded Download to break through all of it.

🧊 Common Reasons Cold Torrents Are Painfully Slow

❌ Too few or inactive peers
🌍 Tracker bans or geo-blocks on your IP region
📉 ISP throttling P2P protocols like BitTorrent
🔒 Torrent client revealing low-reputation IP addresses

✅ The Solution: Use Proxy IP + Multithreaded Clients

By integrating residential or mobile proxy IPs into your torrent client, along with enabling multithreaded downloads, you can:

🌐 Connect to global peers even if local ones fail
🚪 Unblock access to foreign trackers like RARBG, Nyaa, or The Pirate Bay
🚀 Accelerate downloads by opening multiple IP tunnels
🔒 Browse and download with complete anonymity

🔓 Torrent Sites You Can Unblock with Proxy IP

Site	Domain	Proxy Compatible
The Pirate Bay	thepiratebay.org	✅
1337x	1337x.to	✅
RARBG	rarbg.to	✅
Nyaa	nyaa.si	✅
YTS	yts.mx	✅

⚙️ Setup Guide: Multithreaded Torrent with Proxy IP

👨‍💻 Advanced: Automate Torrent Download with Code + Proxy

You can also script torrent downloads using libtorrent and control proxy per-thread. Here's an example in Python:

import libtorrent as lt
import time

ses = lt.session()
proxy = lt.proxy_settings()
proxy.type = lt.proxy_type_t.socks5
proxy.hostname = 'proxy.ipipgoc.com'
proxy.port = 30000
ses.set_proxy(proxy)

info = lt.torrent_info('example.torrent')
params = {
    'save_path': './downloads/',
    'storage_mode': lt.storage_mode_t.storage_mode_sparse,
    'ti': info
}
h = ses.add_torrent(params)

print('Downloading...')
while not h.is_seed():
    s = h.status()
    print(f'{round(s.progress * 100, 2)}% - {s.download_rate / 1000:.2f} kB/s', end='\r')
    time.sleep(1)
print('\nDownload complete!')
