utorrent download speed is 200kB/s but firefox download is only 50kB/s.
Why this happens?Where to change the settings?

I use windows xp sp3.

Please explain in steps

Use a good download manager. Internet Download Manager (IDM), Free Download Manager (FDM) or Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) will do.

.Please check this web site and related links.

How to Increase Browser Download Speed | eHow.com

A website has links to different web sites popups flash, video etc
Usually 40% to 50% data used by the links,.
You can use FireFox with addons to block advts/flash/video content
to speed up downloading .
Test in both conditions and give feedback.

2. Use tcp/ip optimiser from speeedguide.net to tweak settings

It really depends on the server you are downloading from.
Well seeded torrents will typically have a very high availability so you will always get really high speeds.

Make sure you don't have any proxies enabled in firefox (tools->options->advanced)

Try a different browser like opera/chrome and see if you get similar speeds; if you do it's most likely a server issue (basically the place you're downloading from doesn't have a good upload rate).

And yes, download managers will probably give you better speeds.

Try to use internet download manager software...
it vl sure helpful to you...
