My uTorrent settings for my 100mbit connection.
Meomix:
Ok tried to force "DMZ mode" unto my computer also known as exposed host. The actual DMZ zone doesn't seem to do anything.
I then did another speed test, nothing happened. Blah.
Edit: I'm not sure but i think disabling UPnP port mapping made one bakatorrents upload speed shoot up to 1MB/s yes i said 1MB/s.

NTT A/B is basically NTT East/West, heh.

Gave that a shot & have been playing with it for a couple days. Definitely seem to get a small U/L boost.
I'm using a 15/5 FiOS connection. My U/L is usually just over 600/610 KBytes/sec, sometimes it will saturate ~640-ish. Often it is running 580-610, sometimes 280-350 ... which is frustrating given that I know that is not saturated. Also, very often I see peers (leechers) that I cannot connect to that I would really like to, especially when I have unused bandwidth just sitting there.
Doesn't seem to have affected my D/L ... I still saturate at ~2.3 MByte, sometimes flickering into 2.4, which I've seen since I first signed onto this service (Verizon). That's pretty much well over my supposed 15 Mbits/sec rated ... comes in closer to 18-ish.
Disabling uTP suddenly has me pushing 650, which is completely saturated. Also, I notice that I seem to be connecting much more regularly with leechers that are just sitting there inactive. The caveat is that instead of a very steady, smooth rate, like 610 or 620, it bounces over a much wider range with each tick of the update. So, I see 622, 672, 631, 640, 655, 661, 633, 627, 649, ..... (for quick examples just now. My U/L graph is a unwavering red line right at the 650 mark ... which is pretty much exactly (if not over) my rated U/L bandwidth [ EDIT: lessee ... 650 KByte is 5.2 Mbit and 630 KByte is 5.040 Mbit ].
While it doesn't seem to really push me into unsane U/L ranges .. at least, they remain at my theoretical ISP max ... it does seem very effective to keep all my bandwidth in use. I don't see it anemically languishing in the 180 or 300 or 450 ranges anymore. In fact, don't seem to have noticed it under 600 or even 610 at all for a couple days now. My speed boost maybe isn't large, but my total bandwidth use and saturation appears to have just gone up by well over 30%. Normally I up ~1 TB/month w/ dedicated seeding ... I'll come back in 1st week of Sept & remark if I seem to have jumped to the 1.2 or 1.4 TB range.
Me hava happy! :D ;D THANK YOU !! for that tip ... most useful bandwidth boosting tip I've received in two years or more. 8)
Other misc. info: I gave utorrent 3 a try and the aggravation sliced about three years off my life expectancy, so I dropped back to 2.0.4 as the last interface that I really consider simple, intuitive and efficient. Topic here if you wish to locate old versions that are still whitelisted at bakaBT at this time:
> Torrent/Tracker Issues > old versions of utorrent? where to DL ..?
Quick follow-up on a previous post here: Even though I set my cache at 384 MB, I've been carefully watching Mem Use by utorrent ... it rarely exceeds ~50 MB, usually bouncing right at about 40, and the Peak Mem never seems to exceed ~75 MB, so that tweak definitely seems to peak out if you have 96 MB or maybe 128 set.

Also set uTorrents Upload and Download caps to unlimited.
At uTorrent Preferences Disable UPnP port mapping.
Global maximum number of connections: 600 (If the number you have surpasses this then don't bother, same for below)
Maximum number of connected peers per torrent: 400
Number of upload slots per torrent: 170
At the Queueing tab set Minimum ratio to 1000 (If you're doing fine with a higher number then don't bother)
Try tweaking these settings then see if your speed improves.
