Please help (urgent) - How to set up uTorrent to....

One site is having free leech - all you can grab 24 hour mania - that ends in 24 hours...

So I have two connections - one PC on DSL another PC on Cable

How should I set up uTorrent so that one PC doesn't monopolize the only 3 torrents I can be getting from this particular private community site at the same time (FAQ: "Users will be able to leech 3 torrents at a time.")?

details:

what I have now - Even if initially/currently both are downloading - once PC1 (DSL) finishes the 1 torrent it was downloading but has many in queue - PC2 (Cable) (already downloading 2 torrents) may grab that new "third [last] leech [spot]" that just became available - resulting in PC1 - sitting not being able to download anything, as no more leech spots are available :(

There's got to be some settings or things that I can do in uTorrent that would allow me to utilize both connections. In Options - Queueing section - there is

"Max # of active torrents _" and "Max # of active downloads _"

I set both to 2 but I do not think it is correct, also what should "Seed While ... " section be set to?

Also I am not entirely sure how seeding effects the above scenario, and how uTorrent settings above are effected? Preferably at the moment like others I would like to download as much as possible and later leave them all to seed...

Thank you - all help is very much appreciated!

Are you trying to use the same username across both computers?

Have you tried enabling "Seeding tasks have a higher priority than downloading tasks" setting?

Yes I am forced to use the same username - I could only get one account...

No I have not yet tried enabling "Seeding tasks have a higher priority than downloading tasks" - but that seems counter - of what I want - I do not want to seed at the moment at all

Thank you.

Because you only have one username and are using it across both systems, you won't be able to do jack if one uses all 3 of your download slots.

If you don't want to seed, you don't want the torrents to be downloadable in the future.
