Too many connections for Windows/your router/your modem to handle.

Because connecting to everyone is NOT a necessity, and does NOT help you get better speeds, and ONLY provides you with more overhead.

If your networking hardware + software can handle the load, increase µTorrent's half-open setting from default of 8 to 40 and bt.connect_speed to 50. Use Speed Guide (CTRL+G) and use the xx/512k setting. You can even increase the upload speed a little (like to 50-60 KB/sec) probably without any download/web surfing slowdowns.

thank you for your suggestion .....

but speed look to be ok so far ,

but , like now i download something and i'm connect with 26/34 that's a good ratio

what i don't understand is why when their 600 peer , i'm just connect to 30 of them?

thank you

and again

have a nice day

It's very unhealthy for the torrent for you to connect to much more anyway...you can't upload to that many, so if they upload to you it's a "drain" from the others.
