Speeding Up UTorrent [+10REP]

[Wayne]

Has anybody got any ideas on how to speed up UTorrent? I've seen some Youtube videos that have videos downloading at 2gb/s but the figures to change in the settings menu are blurred. Anybody got any advice? Thanks.

1. Make sure the Bandwidth Allocation for the file is set to 'High'
2. Find a torrent with more Seeds.
3. Stop Illegally Downloading Mens Bottoms

Cap the upload speed in the client to around 80% of it's max.

Did you enable DMZ like a reccomended in the other thread?

Download the new BETA utorrent 1.9 It enables a new form of protocol called UTP (I think?) Which ISP haven't blocked yet and may actually speed up your connection.
