disable upload

I only want to download movies. I don't think I would upload any movie. How can I increase download speed and disable upload feature. Please help me out! thanks.

You can't. If you can't handle sharing back what you get from others, then don't use P2P.

Dear Ultima,

I'm sorry. I don't know much about this program. I've bought a membership of download movies today. It said I had to download this program to browse movies. So the first time I use it. Please let me know what does P2P mean.

P2P = Peer-to-peer

You were ripped off. Call your credit-card company and ask to cancel the payment. And cancel your membership. µTorrent is absolutely free, and you can always download it from here -- for free.

Dear Ultima. Now, I know what I got. I've done everything but I couldn't get back my money. It's fine because if I didn't lose that money, I can't have your program.

I've learned a lesson why loosing money. But I have this program and get more knowledge about downloading movies from you. I appreciate and hope to get more help from you.

I (and no one else here) will help you find content; it's not what we do here. We only provide support for µTorrent, the BitTorrent client -- that's all.

You can have "our" program because who you got it from didn't make it and are trying to sell something that is not theirs.

You can download with this program because there are numerous websites offering for free various .torrent files for just about anything imaginable. We don't sell that either, nor do we make it.

And btw, I didn't make µTorrent either. I just post here trying to help others trying to use it.

disabling your upload will hurt your download speeds.

up and down are 2 diff things stopping one wont help the other.

Actually big Upload Speeds DO hurt the Download Speed.....

Only if you don't cap it properly to not choke your connection.

True but the default Utorrent upload speeds do in fact sometimes choke the connection. I think that an 25-30kb/s upload is the best possible setting for most connections.

I rather hate the default (no-settings) of unlimited upload speed on µTorrent.

Yes, there are LOTS of "broadband" connections with only 256 kilobits/sec upload bandwidth.

That's only 32 KiloBYTES/sec upload speed THEORETICAL max with no overheads of any kind.

But with TCP/IP, there's probably 1 bit extra needed for each 8 bits in a byte.

...and then another for BitTorrent traffic.

So that 256 kilobits/sec upload bandwidth only nets about 25 KiloBYTES/sec upload speed in µTorrent.

And people like to run multiple torrents at once with 4 or more upload slots each...so from any particular ip you might be downloading at all of 3 KiloBYTES/sec.

ya my uploads 512 and i only have 2 down and 3 active

cap of 40-45

there is no set upload speed

you need to test you cont to be sure of your real speed

esp with laggin wireless.
