Downloading IS NOT ENSURED for torrents. The best you can hope for is configuring your uT to your connection correctly to allow you to upload consistently and sustained. If you go to the Speed Tab, and change to only upload, and scale to 5 seconds, 30 seconds, or 5 minutes.. is your upload a relatively horizontal line at or near your max set upload?

A picture would help ;) This is how I do it...

[ul][li]open mspaint[/li]

[li]take a picture of the uT window using Alt-Print Screen[/li]

[li]paste picture in mspaint[/li]

[li]edit picture censoring information if needed[/li]

[li]save picture as PNG[/li]

[li]upload to http://imageshack.us[/li]

[li]copy forum thumbnail BBCODE and paste on forum[/li][/ul]

Have you gone through the Setup Guide (Link #3 on the Guides page linked below)??

I would also ask you to take a picture of the Speed Guide settings (Ctrl-G).

Very nice good good. Now looking at the pictures...you appear to have UPnP enabled and are set for xx/192 :D

Your other picture doesn't appear to load... can you upload it again? To re-iterate what I said before, the easiest way I find to see what your upload is doing is going to the Speed tab, changing the left drop-down to UPLOAD, then change the right drop-down to 30 seconds or 5 minutes (if I'm checking overnight).

Where is the folder for the pics from the command ALT+PRINT?

I barely making 15k and sometimes not even that.

I have Verizon Online and HP Pavilion a1440n.

Wherever you saved it, heh :/. If you go to mspaint, and click File, there is a dropdown of recent files, if you click that file and go file-> save as it will show you the directory it was saved in.

It is also possible your settings for encryption are not helping you. Perhaps changing Encryption to Forced and disallowing legacy connections as specified in the How-To may help you get better speeds... If your ISP however is enforcing a shaping profile during certain hours your only bet is to catch onto that and use the scheduler so uT doesn't try in vain to go faster.

Ahh, tried the picture and it works now... I cannot say for certain, but is that torrent's availability (on General tab) the same as your Downloaded? It is also possible that on that swarm everyone else is above you in % in which case noone would want your upload. If you click on the Peers tab, are there alot of S or K flags?

Woo!! Lots of pictures. Thanks it gives me a better picture of your setup, even though they all appear to be thumbnails.

The Speed Guide settings seem a bit high.. unless you are on xx/256 ?? I can't quite makeout the upload limit. I'm making evaluations based upon these values: 34 KiB / 2 / 30 / 80 / 4 / 3 ... They are adequate for the protocol but a little low IMO, 34 KiBps divided into 8 slots is ~ 4, which is OK, and having 4 torrents running with a maximum of 80 connections is low enough that it shouldn't cause any hardware trouble.

Why did you paste a picture of the Files tab with no torrent selected? Maybe you were attempting to show the peer flags as i have mentioned elsewhere and above? You will need to have a torrent from the main pane highlighted to show the peers active at that time.If you plan to upload a picture like that I would recommend making the peer IP information obscured since the relevant information is the "Flags" column. Under Ctrl-P -> BitTorrent you may want to change it to "Forced" and uncheck allow legacy if you find you cannot keep peer connections past 30 seconds (ISP RST flag packet interference). Also the pictures of your client and settings are dissonant, you have "show limits in status bar" but even through the pixellation I don't see any [LIMIT] on either the UP or DOWN -loading sides... Do you have specific questions?

Make sure your pictures are clearly readable regardless of size.

PNG files are certainly preferable over JPG, as the 'cleanness' of uTorrent's windows seems to compress nicely using PNG but ironically not with JPG if you want the picture without ghosting.

OK so collating your various posts http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=294808#p294808 .. my you've been a member here for quite some time http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=296068#p296068 shows your limits so the numbers in your 5th picture need to be changed. You should NOT be running on unlimited upload for one. For two you can only expect 16 KiBps maximum on a xx/128 line on a GOOD day. Verify your ISPs upload limits on the line you are paying for. If however they enforce a shaping profile then when you tested at a xx/128 speed may have been on it. It would be wise to check your line without any other stuff on a working but non-seeded torrent.. preferrably something popular but that you can get peers on. I am NOT suggesting openoffice or slackware as those are nigh impossible to upload on. Maybe the newly released steal this film can offer a good swarm, i don't know?

So to go over your pictures, if the first one is indeed correct why are you "moving" completed to the same folder. The move function should be disabled if you are going to the same directory as the downloading (incomplete) folder. For the second one set it to your speed (xx/128) as a baseline. This will remove the ability to keep multiple torrents running at once. This is good since it will allow the same number of peers to connect but to one torrent. If you have trouble connecting to peers the less number of running torrents the better. The third pictures shows you are indeed uploading at a maximum available for a 128 Kbps upload connection. Regarding the 4th be advised you SHOULD set the upload speed, and if you are additionally running through a proxy your speeds will generally suffer if it is not capable of said traffic and connections throughput. The 5th will be adjusted when you change your Speed Guide settings, and you SHOULD remove the alteration for completion.. first since you cannot obtain 90 KiBps upload, and secondly it isn't necessary on such a low upload connection. The final and 6th picture has adequate and generous connection settings, as well as a reasonable upload slots (I recommend 5-10 KiBps which would definitely limit you to 1-3 upload slots total.. but others say as low as 3 KiBps is acceptable, which means you can have up to 5 upload slots (active torrents * upload slots per torrent) ).

Please please please do not, make, edit, or hijack any other threads for your problem since you have been posting in this one OK?
