If you use BitTorrent, you absolutely need to take precautions to hide your identity. These days, everyone’s looking to throttle your connection, spy on what you’re downloading, or even send you an ominous letter.

Go to Options > Preferences > Connection, check “Add µTorrent to Windows Firewall.”.People using the Microsoft Windows XP firewall: Some ISPs have extremely aggressive throttling methods and for those users it might be necessary to set outgoing to Forced however this will greatly reduce the number of peers you can connect to.

Go to Options > Preferences > Connection and put your result in the “Global maximum upload speed rate” box.Take your speed in kBytes and multiply it by 0.8 (this now gives you a proper upload speed of 80% of you tested max).Take your upload speed result in kbits and divide it by 8 (you now have your result in kBytes.).The speedguide is great for setting up a variety of variables but it does fall short if your test speed falls half way between two of the possible speeds listed. Click the “Use Selected Settings” button at the bottom of the Speed guide window.you may click on ‘test if port is forwarded properly’ to verify if you did the port forwarding correctly, else you must redo them.

Note that the speed tests may not be 100% accurate due to factors outside of your control, so if the closest option is only a little bit higher than what your upload speed results received on the tests (perhaps by 10%), it’s generally safe to select that.

Select the listing closest to your upload speed result (rounding down as necessary).
