Upload Speeds Not Doing What I Ask...

Okay, here is my situation.

I use the uTorrent 1.7.4

Basically, my problem is this:

When I upload on my local torrent sites (I'm in S.Africa) and I've basically uploaded 3x the amount of the file, what I generally do is, I limit the upload from full speed to say, 5k a sec so I can upload other torrents and seed a reasonable speeds.

But the new uTorrent doesn't do that, it still gives the users full speed which is a major problem because we have cap problems in S.Africa and I don't exactly want to waste my entire 30GB cap uploading the torrent in question so I keep uploading but at some point, I give the job of uploading to the other seeders so I can fill other requests.

Can someone help me with this problem?

Tell me how I can setup uTorrent so it obeys those upload speed settings, It did it nicely in the old version (1.6.1 I think) of uTorrent but is a total bugger up in the new version.

Turn on limit local peers.

How exactly?

I'm not a total n00b but I'm sure I've done that... can you just guide me quickly how.

Preferences -> BitTorrent -> Limit local peer bandwidth

Hmmmm... Sure I've done that (no, really!!!)

Thanks though Firon, Will try again later.

You may want to also disable "Enable Local Peer Discovery" (to FIND the local peers).

Firon: your suggestion worked, I hadn't ticked it but it's working now. Thanks!

Switech: But I'm on a local p2p network, I'd want them to find me but I thought that happens via the help of the tracker in question... or am I missing something?

µTorrent will still likely "know" they're local peers even if it's not seeking them out specifically.
