I'm with Virgin Media http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/images/smilies/dry.gif and i'm using uTorrent 1.7.7 and I have ticked the use encryption box but still my speeds get messed about with and they drop like crazy after a few hours seeding/downloading. Does it actually work or is there a better method?
Yes - it works.
But it is only 1 factor out of many factors that affect your overall speed.
Number of peers and length of time of torrent, traffic shaping by your ISP, other utorrent settings, OS settings, time of day, experience in knowing what works best on your machine, many others yet to be assessed etc.
Just to mention encryption as a factor and expect us to give reasonable knowledgeable responses is over ambitious to say the least.
Have you ever set up your utorrent preferences to suit your line speeds for instance?
It dont says "disk overloaded" or something like that in utorrent? Dont know exactly what it says in english because my utorrent is in swedish but if it says something like that i know your problem and can help you=)
cap your download speed see if that improves your utorrent.
I ran a speed test when I first got uTorrent and I matched it to the speed setup panel so I think that is ok. Hmmm I have DHT enabled I believe and I hear alot of people say switch that off not sure though.Quote:

thats because it allows peeps that aren't on the tracker to snatch that torrent from you also.. so in essence it unsecured..
Never really understood what DHT is all about...How do I switch it off?
right click at bottom where it says dht and options are there to disable it
Options -> Preference -> Bittorrent -> Untick both DHT boxes. Done. DHT disabled.Quote:
