Connection settings in µTorrent? Speed test results?

[across15]

this is what the speed test says,

Your current bandwidth reading is:

3.86 Mbps

which means you can download at 494.15 KB/sec. from our servers

i also tried the speedtest.net, here are the results:

You're overloading your connection with uploads. Limit your upload to 20kB/s.

i limited my upload to 20kB/s, the download speed improved a little, from 47-70kB/s. it just moves up and down, the highest speed was 70kB/s, what should be my normal download speed?? thx 4 d help.

Use xx/192k in the Speed Guide, and try the Slackware torrents as linked to in nos_slived's signature.

i have a problem with a similar topic so i thought id put it here.

please move it if its in the wrong place.

so heres d thing.

im a newb so thats y im posting even tho ive seen posts similar to my prob but i couldnt seem to understand how to follow the instructions given.

1stly my speedtest results.

37kbs for download so that translate to how much in kB?in my utorrent i only get around 1 or less. is this serious? and it also states theres no incoming connections which ive read so many posts on the net but cant seem to find or understand the sol.

about my specs, im using a laptop (NEC Versa E400) with windows XP pro and i use a netgear WG511v2 to connect to wireless connection at home. my family has put up a router that enables the whole family to use the internet. so that connects to the modem the ISP provided us with. so im not really good in the technical stuff so can nebody help me in simple terms?wat are the settings that i need to do.
