cvd316316 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I have a bandwith usage limit for my uploads and cannot afford (literally) to allow uploads of my files. Is there a way I can prevent uploads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invy Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 torrents are not for you then. best you can do is limit your upload rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtex Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 most people have upload restrictions... just how bad is yours??most isps have no problem with ~10 KB/s upload limit, even the ones that don't allow much upload bandwidth.the most you can limit your upload speed to is 1 KB/s, and that of course would give you horrible download speeds as well. (a constant 1 KB/s upload would be something like 90 MB uploaded in 24 hrs)if you need to restrict it still further (O.o), you could use the scheduler to enable it only during certain times...other than that... get it from a friend, a DD, or live without it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 To reduce bandwidth usage:Turn off DHT (both kinds).Disable Resolve IPs under the Peers Window. (That's expensive window-dressing considering it doesn't help download+upload speeds any.)Reduce half open connection max to maybe 1-4. (You're not firewalled in µTorrent, right? ...so it shouldn't hurt as much as you might think!)Disable resolve country flags in advanced.Disable "Enable Local Peer Discovery".Lastly, reduce total connections to 100 or less....maybe even as low as 20 per torrent, though 40 is probably better.

ajones81 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 frpaglia, you should probably also glance at the guides, the FAQ and the uTorrent Help File (.CHM - link on download page). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
