winn62 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hello I'm new here, I recently downloaded and installed uTorrent. I've had it before on another computer to which it was installed threw a friend but I no longer have contact with this person , I've moved. Now I would like to join back with uTorrent's but I'm unsuccessful with finding someone who is familiar with setting the set up guide "bandwidth" and preferences " folder options" . I know I've really confused myself by looking on you tube and reading on Google. And then a light bulb can on and I registered with forms , I'm not either reading the help guide properly or I'm just to outdated as far as installing programs that I don't normally do. I would greatly appreciate any and all help .Just to try and narrow my needing help, 1st. I'm uncertain of bandwidth I'm in Canada if that even matters ?And the setting of folder preferences I'm confused as to how many I need ? And where to put them .Thank youwinn62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Youtube setup guides generate dangerous settings and should be avoided at all costs. If you followed those settings, you are not supported until you shut down uTorrent and remove settings.dat and settings.dat.old from %appdata%\utorrent.

winn62 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I haven't set any of the settings I haven't been able to figure out what is the correct procedure is, and I was also afraid of making a huge mess of things , especially with my new laptop . I am cautious because I'm not good at fixing my computer mistakes. And I would really appreciate your assistance.Thank - youwinn62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winn62 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hi DreadWingKnight :I started reading how to set up guide , did the speed test left the location on the selected one that was already automatically selected.Had a green check mark , then did the network connection put the port to 0 and went ahead and ran another test. But it showed a yellow check mark with a asterisk ? So I read further on and to my understanding if I'm reading correctly I need a port. I never clicked save yet, just trying to figure things out don't want to bugger things up that I can't fix.Another Question if I may. I have a wireless router if I need a port to which I did read on about would that create a problem for my router?I know the question looks and sounds like from left field but I'm not a mechanically inclined person .Thank you for your patience and time , please help.Thank - youwinn62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
