  1. Caching and internet crashing problems solved... I was having the cache problem with the latest version (build 26753), i.e. cache maxing out (disk overloaded 100%) or, after manually upping cache size, getting the "flushing" notice when torrent supposedly finished download. I tried clicking every button and changing a billion settings with no luck. Just before flying into a violent rage, I completely uninstalled uTorrent (including settings) and reinstalled the latest version. This solved that problem. After the fresh install, I was still having the issue with my internet crashing in waves. (Urge to kill... rising). From what I gather, this is the router crapping out. (I've been having this problem for a while). I fixed this by changing the following settings (from default) under preferences: Bandwidth > Max upload rate = 45, Apply rate max to transport overhead = check, Global max number of connections = 200, (Max peers per torrent = 100, not sure if this matters) BitTorret > Protocol Encryption, outgoing = forced Queuing > Maximum number of active torrents = 4 I did all this yesterday, and it ran like a charm all night. All of the files I was downloading had probably less that 100 seeds + peers total at any given time and only maxed to ~800 kb/s. I just tested it on 2 heavily seeded torrent, and it whizzed along beautifully with speeds holding @ 2.3 MB/s. I also clicked around on the web while this was happening, and the connection didn't even flinch. You can probably fiddle around with the above settings to see what you can get away with. My guess is that it's router dependent. FYI, I'm running Vista 64-bit, plugged directly into some generic Netgear WiFi router that's ~ 2 - 3 yrs old, cable internet.
