Question about uTorrent Setup

[aarelovich]

Hello:

I've followed the guides that I've seen for setting up my uTorrent, but there is something I don't quite understand.

The guides gives a lot of info about the upload speed. However it gives no info about what the maximum download rate should be?

How should I choose it?

Or should I leave it limitless?

I want to configure it so it doesn't use all of my conection and I can web surf while downloading.

Thanks for any help.

Leave it limtless. Trying to limit download speed just doesn't work cleanly at all.

Thank you very much.

Another question. I want to be able to download 3 things at the same time and I know I should set (according to the calculations) my global upload speed to 18Kbytes/sec. However the Speed Guide the sets my Number of Active Downloads to 1. If I want to set it to 3 should I change my global upload speed?

Downloading too much at once will split your connection more ways than it is capable of handling.

Adjusting your upload rate by increasing it will actually have a major negative impact on your speeds if your line isn't capable of it.

I wouldn't recommend varying your settings that much from the speed guide's recommendations.

Ok thank you.

But I know that everything will get slower. And trust me I was not suggesting upping the upload speeds.

Thank you
