I just got this program and I see that I'm having a problem getting some of my downloads to finish. I dont know what to do I treid to use that force download and nothing really happens. I saw a post where somebody had problem like that and said he was superseeding? dont know what that is or if maybe thats my problem so please, if you think you could help please do. Also I'm not getting good download speeds probably 20 is the highest I'm getting right now. one time I got a download to go as fast as 580kbs but then I hit this wall I explained above, please help.

you're probably on torrents with very few seeders or no seeders at all (a seeder is someone who has completed the download and remains online to help send to others). if this is the case, "the wall" you hit is because everybody in the swarm has all the same peices and no seeder is there with the peices everyone needs to finish the download.

basically what you need to start doing is looking for torrents with good stats. you want to be on a torrent with seeders. having lots of seeders is a good thing, but in truth most of the bandwidth comes from your downloading peers ("leeches" you might see them referred to as). so, in the end, the best speeds come from a torrent with a lot of peers and a good number of seeds.

also, just so you know, the force download option is for when you have so many torrents loaded in µTorrent that you exceed your max number of concurrent downloads, resulting in a queue. forcing the download overrides it's queue status, and, well, forces the download

i hope this helps.

oh, PS. run the speed guide and follow all the instructions to configure µTorrent optimally for your connection.
