Low seeders -> torrent dies, stop/start -> magically revives? Wtf?

No, it's not. You can open multiple connections to the same peer.

No, it is exactly what it says - how many connections the client is allowed to make for each torrent. It's possible to use up your entire allotted number of connections for one torrent on a single peer. If you hammer a single seed with your max number of connections per torrent and that number is set very high, chances are you'll get temp-banned.
megido-rev.M:
You don't say. I guess I should increase my max global connections then.
kitamesume:
i cant really say if your claim is fact or not, because with that info it would mean that anything over 10connections is bound to get you snuffed.
also i just checked, the entries in utorrent are as follows:
global maximum number of connections : 200
maximum number of connected peers per torrent : 50
number of upload slot per torrent : 2
[x] use additional upload slots if upload speed <90%
which means, the middle is nulled, it only pertains to number of peers, and it doesn't say number of connections to peers.
and leaves you with global, so anything over 10 on global is bound to get you snuffed? i don't think so.
edit: simply put, if you enter in 10 on global you can only power up 10torrents at once with only one connection to each, or maybe the other way around of 10connections per torrent. but its still not the case on peers or seeds.
also, with that info in mind, it would suggest that running multiple torrents at once should solve the connection problems, but it doesn't.
edit2: theres also the registry entry of maximum number of connections per server under the TCP/IP registry entry, unless utorrent bypasses the OS's connection constrictions it should limit it down to x number of connections per IP address/server.
megido-rev.M:
Connections use resources managed by the OS. That much I'm at least sure of.

That depends on the seeder's settings.

I guess uTorrent uses different settings. I get max connections per torrent in KTorrent. Is there a setting somewhere for max connections per peer?
