Downloading torrents slowing down my Internet

[Serge2015]

Hi,

I'm having some problems these last few days with my internet after downloading some big 4K movies torrents. I use Verizon as an Internet provider. All the websites pages were running slow to display and videos on YouTube were running forever with a circle. Torrent files were starting to download and stopped a few minutes later. I ran an Internet speed test on SpeedOf.Me and the result is download speed 13.16 - upload speed 14.15 - latency 30. I'm not familiar with all that stuff and would need some advices. I've heard about VPN before but never used one and would like to know about it.

Thanks,

 

Serge
