What kind of network connection do you have where you supposedly have 8 Mbit down and are currently uploading 2.
You'll also probably need very conservative uTorrent settings I don't know if you managed to sort it with the advice given but what i would suggest is to limit your port connections as Switek suggested, override manual settings and in the options have your settings to "show speed in toolbar" and right click over the speed displayed in the bottom right corner.
Set your upload speed to 6kbs for 1 file download and your speed should increase dramatically if my upload is 50kbs i get 20kbs download, if its 8 i get kbs! After a minute or so right click again and set to 8 and keep doing this until you get your fastest speed which is normally between kbs upload per torrent but below 6 will limit your download to If you do it this way you'll get your fastest speed but with more than 1 torrent, as soon as 1 finishes, stop it as that will also slow you down if it's seeding but when you finish DON'T FORGET to start them seeding again for peers.
Anything over active torrents is overkill and will hurt overall speeds and tax your processor and hard drive. Most torrent client have an indicator of your connection health which can alert you to port forwarding or throttling issues.
The indicator is usually in the bottom right corner of the software. Vuze displays torrent health as a color-coded smiley. Green is good, yellow shows issues, red is bad. If you really want to draw doing it manually, you can follow the guides from PortForward. Most torrent clients have built-in encryption. This lite-weight obfuscation not unbreakable like a VPN is designed to fool simple throttling algorithms.
This limits your peer availability and thus your speeds. This article tackled all the most common causes of slow torrents. Plug your computer directly into your modem and see if that makes a difference.

Thank man, I applied the torrent setting you have posted and my utorrent download speed just rocketed. If you are not seeding, you may be anonymously identified by the swarm as a leecher. Some users reporting slowdowns after using the app for a long time are having this issue due to not seeding. Try seeding a little, and see if your torrents start speeding up.
Use wifi-only mode, which is also under Settings. Did you find it helpful?
