Switeck Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I don't use wireless, but have read about quite a few people who do...and the settings they use.Wireless generally cannot handle as many connections at wired Ethernet.It's best to limit global and per torrent connections to 100 or less with wireless.If you mean a wireless ISP, they may have extreme restrictions on running BitTorrent in the first place!So yes, it's easily possible to have too many active torrents at once on wireless.The 2nd link in my signature matches upload bandwidth max with uTorrent settings, but it may be a little too much for wireless...

cheekyfluff Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 I have been using Utorrent for years but unfortunately my PC died and I have to download utorrent on my new machine which I have. Before when I downloaded files Utorrent opened automatically and "handled" the download giving me the option to select files or all.This doesn't happen now - where have I gone wrong? Or what should I set up to make it happen seamlessly?Really need help, please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 DO NOT HIJACK! It is rude.As far as your question. There are several options you may want. Press F1 in the client to read about them. They will be under UI Settings and Directories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
