In utorrent do all of this: Step 1: Set your “Global Maximum Number of Connections” to 130. (For 256K connections) Setting this number to low will limit your speeds, and setting it too high will cause too much bandwidth to be used, and can cause slowdowns. Step 2: Set “Maximum Number of Connected Peers per Torrent” to 70. (For 256K connections) If you see that the peers connected to a specific torrent are exactly that number, or very close, then increase this number to improve seeds. Step 3: Set “Number of Uploaded Slots Per Torrent” to 3. (for 256K connections) This depends how much you want to upload to other users. If set too low it may affect download speeds. Step 4: Check “Use additional upload slots if upload speed <90%” Step 5: In Options>Preferences>Queuing, Set “Maximum Number of Active Torrents” to 2 (for 256K connections) Step 6: Set “Maximum Number of Active Downloads” to 1 (for 256K Connections).

It is best to download one file, and then download one after.] Step 7: In Options>Preferences>BitTorrent, Check “Enable DHT Network” (This is recommended to be checked to improve speeds.

Windows Firewall sucks so Disable it Windows Firewall hates P2P and often leads a life of its own. So disable it and get yourself a decent (free) firewall, Kerio or Zone Alarm for example.
