Why is my download/upload speed low?

A low download or upload speed may be due to your provider’s settings. You can find out your settings by following this link.
If the file you are downloading is being downloaded by several users simultaneously, this may also result in a low download speed because our servers will distribute the load equally between users. To avoid this and gain download priority, you may either become a Turbo User or try downloading at a different time of the day.

I followed the link for file download and received a «FILE NOT FOUND» message. Why is this?

A «FILE NOT FOUND» message means that the file you are addressing was removed from our server.
There may be several reasons for this:

  • the file has been deleted by the user who had uploaded it
  • a copyright violation
  • storage time expiration
How much may I download from turbobit.net?

The total size of downloads is restricted by your provider’s settings and your user status on turbobit.net. If you are a free user, you may download about 5 GB a day if downloading continually, but note that free account speed is limited.

All users who have Turbo Access may enjoy the maximum download speed possible and download up to 25 GB a day, 300 GB per month.

I receive a message «Your IP reached connection limit, please try again in 500 (300, 200 etc.) seconds». What do I do to download the file?

turbobit.net aims at providing quality service to all users from all regions worldwide independent of the file size, of download time, or of the user’s browser or other settings.

To do this, we use Dynamic Download Splitting which helps us provide an equal download opportunity to all free users notwithstanding the file size. Turbo Users have the priority in download speed; other users are placed in a queue if they have same IP; first come first served.

The time you have to wait in line (the time specified in the message you receive from the Service, e. g. try again in 300 seconds) depends on several different things such as popularity of the file, the load of the server turbobit.net in you net zone, the time of the day etc, but the main factor is the file size.

The bigger the file you downloaded the last time before you requested the latest file from the same IP the longer you will have to wait. To reduce your waiting time, we recommend downloading small files first.

You may also change your IP and try downloading the file again, since it is your particular IP that reaches the connection limit.

I receive a message from your service stating that I am downloading a file at the moment or that I have reached download limit while I have not been downloading anything! What may be the reason for that?

Our service is checking your IP to keep download records. If you receive such a message while in fact you have not been downloading anything, it means that you are using a proxy employed by a lot of users simultaneously. You may not be using a proxy for your computer, but your provider may be employing a client’s transparent proxy.

You may check your IP by following this link.

How to solve this problem? If you have access to your network settings, quit your proxy. If you cannot do that, the only way out is to buy a Turbo Account. Turbo Users are recognized by their cookies, not by their IPs. Unfortunately, we cannot cancel all IP checks; otherwise we would to shut down the service because of uncontrolled downloads. We hope for your understanding.

I can not download a single file, what do I do?

If you’re not a Turbo User, try quitting all your download masters (software boosting download speed).
If the problem persists, probably your browser does not allow cookies. You need them if you are using a proxy.

I upload files through FTP and do not see them in my Personal Office — why is this? What are the restrictions on FTP upload?

The FTP server is synchronized with your Personal Office every 10 minutes. That is, after an FTP upload, the files appear in your Office in about 10 minutes.

Due to the synchronization process, there is another restriction — you cannot upload more than 10 GB in total in 10 minutes to the FTP server.

Can I search for particular files on Turbobit?

No. We care about our users’ privacy and confidentiality of information. Only those who upload files on turbobit.net receive the download link, and it is up to them to decide who will receive access to this file. So, you have access to the file only if you have the complete link.

What download software may I use for downloads?

You may use any popular program, such as Speedget, Download Accelerator Plus, GetRight, FlashGet and GoZilla, as well as Google File Download Manager and other download managers.
