It has nothing to do with the latest version. The speed limit occured to me when the cable modem rented by my cable company died out and they gave me the new model, and I was using an old version. I'm pretty sure the speed limit is server related. They are probably blocking the IP of those major file sharing programs.

Bastards... :angry:

well im pretty sure that my friends torrents went back to the old good speed when he switched to one of the older versions, after the new version gave him this limit. and he didnt change any isps or modems

What's the number of that older version? I'll try it out.

I had no problems with either 1.7.0 or 1.7.1

speed was slow in the newest version(1.7.2), as mentioned by russ

EDIT: reason is if there are no peers, there will be no download.

uTorrent is very good and small. You can use the latest version, but if you want to stay safe for any reasons, get 1.6.1.

I was told this by others as well; however, they cited other reasons...

I was told that the newest works perfectly by myself... Hauling down with 1.2 Mbyte / sec.. no problems.

Looked in a forum for uTorrent and found no complaints of that worth mentioning that was the softwares fault.

Causes of low speed;
High load on the computer (games running high priority on the core/disc)
Slow harddrive (uTorrent puts alot of stress on the disc)
ADSL connection doing heavy upload (On especially cable-modems, once the upload hits a sertain point, the download plumits. Get NetLimiter)
ISP throteling on Torrent-ports
Few seeders in the swarm (ppl sharing 100% shares)
Few ppl overall in the swarm
You'r downloading the last 10% of the share, as there are fewer sources with the required blocks.
Alot of ppl doing throtteling on the upload, because they are on ADSL.....

You get the picture.

So true, I've seen lots of such Global Village legends.

But I don't think you need a separate program for limiting upload, right? I think you can configure that in "Options > Preferences > Connection, Bandwidth Limiting".
