uTorrent hogs 100% of my connection
Hey all,
When I start up my uTorrent, it hogs all of my connection. I can not even open a web page, I get notifications saying my anti-virus failed to automatically update, no connection at all. However, my uTorrent continues to download/upload it's files.
After shutting down uTorrent, I still have to wait around 5-10 minutes before my connection comes back and I can make use of other web related applications.
I am currently seeding around 30 torrents, but I don't think that would cause too much problem, and only 3 or 4 are typically active at a time.
This connection is only around 2mbps down and 512kbps up, but I was getting the same thing happening on my normal 10mbps down and 2mbps up connection.
This is causing me to seed less, as I am limited to what I can do while my uTorrent is connected, so please help me fix this issue!
Thanks

Limit your upload at ut at 75% of your maximum.
If youve already done this,ignore this.

As the above poster said, limit your download/upload speed.
As an added measure, also limit the amount of peers you connect to, as this can saturate your Internet connection as well.

I had the same problem with my new modem, and it got partly solved by applying the above 2 suggestions

It can also happen with very fast connection, and not fast computer.
In my office i used to have 24/1 Mbit line with an old pentium PC with only 256MB RAM.
Good download speeds, used to kill the PC! It always showed disk overload, and finally crached.
Now, with a better PC with 2GB RAM, it's flying!

Turn down your download limit in utorrent that should solve it

Re: uTorrent hogs 100% of my connection
you think that's bad? i wish my software was in a way that i could seed at maximum bandwidth speed, then i could limit it on the utorrent and use with in other stuff as needed.. lol, you know people read tutorials and forums trying to get their maximum bandwidth as you? :p
Re: uTorrent hogs 100% of my connection
I agree with the other posters in general, but you might want to try this instead.
In uTorrent go to preferences, connection and tick the 'maximum upload rate (kB/s)' box where it says 'Automatic' to allow uTorrent to manage the upload amount.
Depending on your ISP this is better than setting your upload to 75-90% as this will compensate for a more variable upload speed throughout the day.
