Use it on a PC and connection you actually own.

Chances are, you can't configure anything that would help optimize your BitTorrent experience from the library computers, so just give it up.

Library computers are almost certainly using a shared connection such as a T-1 line (1.5 mbps).

That's only about 150 KB/sec down and up to share between all the connected computers, and it is very rude to hog that if there's anyone else there.

They are all typically connected via a commercial router/bridge that you'd only be able to hack into using a real axe...destroying it in the process. In other words, you are GUARENTEED FIREWALLED in µTorrent -- making it impossible to download and upload from other firewalled users...which often make up 60-90% of the seeds+peers on a torrent...and MOST of the faster ones.

You are often not allowed to install "outside" software on them, or they may even delete any changes every boot-up (using something like Deep Freeze).

Also, your activities are monitored to a degree. You often have to sign in at the front desk and state you won't do anything "illegal" on the computer. However downloading/uploading movies or MP3s would likely qualify as "illegal" in most countries. Downloading a tv show might not, depending on where it's from and where you're at.

A library computer is often a couple years old, slower, and with a much smaller hard drive that might have less than 1 GB free. ...so forget any big torrents even assuming you legally get by ALL the other hurdles!
