How do I download from specific peers only- on utorrent?

[anon]

I don't think speed jumps shouldn't raise any flags

That's more or less ca_aok's point.

I don't understand why you turned LPD off, btw. It's a great feature unless you think it's an invasion of privacy or your chances of stumbling on a torrent with local peers is nil.

Edit: did some searching, supposedly it should find peers from your same ISP also, though it never worked for me.

Yeah, in fact the WAN I'm on covers 3 different ISPs (with a combined userbase of at least 10000).

You can also try using a torrent client that allows temp-banning other peers. That was one feature I liked about BitComet. It allowed me to ban leeches with just 2 mouseclicks.

Another tool could be bandwidth shaping programs like Netlimiter which allow you to manage traffic.

Unfortunately, many private trackers don't allow BitComet due to its "bad reputation". The same applies to Vuze (which has manual kicking features, also), on a lesser scale.
