Freedom Kira:
Donating used to be the best way to improve your ratio if you had some spare change, but now it is the worst way, unless you happen to be on BBT during the 10 or so minutes every 3 months that donations are open. Seedboxes are a better way to invest your time and money.

There's also no point in "[backing up uTorrent's data]." All you need are the torrent files and the downloaded files, and you can start seeding in a matter of seconds, assuming none of the files are corrupt.

There IS some point in backing up some of uTorrent's data; resume.dat and settings.dat, found in %AppData%\uTorrent
...they can sometimes get corrupted if the pc is shut down abruptly like when experiencing a BSOD, powerout etc, (the more active torrents, the more likely). Believe me, having either of those corrupted can be quite bothersome if you can't restore :-X...
(There's resume.dat.old too as uTorrent's own backup, but chances are it gets corrupted as well (happened) or is already invalid (happened) so once in a while I backup those two mentioned manually...)

Freedom Kira:
Right, I wouldn't disagree there. But, when OP said it's a shame he can't back up uTorrent data I assumed he meant the stuff you can't back up.

TERRABYTEONE:

is my utorewns set up wrong?



Freedom Kira:
... read the Wiki.

No, really, please read it.

And search for "re-seeding." And if you want to know, "seedbox" and "adopt a torrent." The last two aren't relevant to you at all, though.

I don't see anything wrong with your settings. Wtih 3TB of data, though, you should probably be at constant maxed up speed.
