Is there anything I can do to boost my download speed? I just started downloading a large torrent file and it says it's going to take 1 day and 5 hours to complete!

1) It could be the nature of that torrent.
2) Do general torrent optimization (open a port, etc.).
3) Try a different torrent client.
