Help! I just got a new puter and utorrent is slllooowww

[melbel]

I just got a new puter that was a serious upgrade. Utorrent is now working MUCH slower than it was on my old system. My new system has Vista. Could that be the problem? Any suggestions of things I can try to speed things up? I am not very tech friendly, so be as detailed about where to find what I need to change as possible,please

I am now getting in 4+ hours what I used to get in less than 30 minutes. I am redownloading some ebooks that I got last week in under 10 minutes and it says it will take over 2 hours, for example.

Thanks in advance!

1st and 2nd links in my signature.

1st one is for troubleshooting, and tells you what information you'll need to give us if the problem isn't solved quickly.

2nd link gives suggested settings for uTorrent based on your max sustainable UPLOAD speed.

NOTE: Max sustainable UPLOAD speed is far less than max download speed for most connections.

Bad settings may work ok with many torrents...then cause all kinds of problems on very busy torrents.

You may also want to use lower settings than your connection can handle because it is shared with others or due to monthly bandwidth quotas.
