I'm assuming it's the option I put in the red box :p.

I got it all set up last night and so far, I'm liking it. It does use a small amount of resources and I like how it displays up front your total bandwidth usage, instead of having to dig through the statistics menu in Azureus. I haven't tried downloading anything with it yet though.

After some tweaking it works as fast as Azureus so I will be alternating between the 2 depending on the tracker for ones that are usaily busy it's faster with something with a decentralised tracker like Azureus while for the not so buys ones I use utorrent

BTW. DD i think around 1024K will do fine

The option I'm talking about isn't this one guys...

Go to Torrent Options, Other Settings, Allocate Disk Space...

That depends on your connection i guess. I have a 1.5mbit/128kbits DSL, And i run only one torrent at a time, 5 upload slots per torrent, 50 peer connections per torrent. I limit my upload at 75% which is 9kB/s here. Other then that, try the 'connect to peers slower' and 'lower cpu usage' modes which usualy help, especially the first.

I get good speeds with these settings on almost every torrent (swarm permits, that is).

Cripes man 1.1.6 is out now

Code:
This is mainly a bugfix release. We advise users to upgrade to this version. As always, it's in the download section.

A problem was identified in 1.1.5's partfile implementation and fixed in 1.1.6 that caused partial data downloaded for SKIPPED files to be corrupt. Data sent from skipped files or later unskipped could be corrupt. We strongly advise users to force recheck their files if they had previously been in a SKIPPED state. This issue does not affect files which were not skipped.

- Fix: Better multitracker support.
- Fix: When skipping files, it would corrupt the Partfile, resulting in hash fails.
- Fix: Disk Overloaded was shown too often.
- Change: Only show the "dangerous file" dialog when trying to open an executable file.
- Feature: The sorted column is now shown in a different color (Only after you clicked sort once)
- Feature: Create start menu shortcut the first time uTorrent runs.
- Feature: Show more info in the tray tooltip.
- Feature: Support lazy-bitfields, required for some ISPs, or seeding won't work.
- Feature: New page to setup advanced settings.
- Feature: Remember a peer's upload/download even if it reconnects.
- Feature: Support sparse files on NTFS (But please use this with care, it will fragment your drive).
