OK Now my download rate is 5-20 KB (This is with the same options that made it go 40-90 and eventually to 200-400) This doesn't apply to other torrents im downloading(Though I still want 200 for nearly each one)

DVD,
First off, this seems to be an excellent guide. I have yet to test if this will improve my DL speed, but I like the fact that it's very well written and is easy to follow. Couple of questions tho...

1) You said the following:

"If you are behind a router, please visit http://www.portforward.com and then select your router, and then Utorrent or torrent. Follow every step to forward your ports and allow greater access to better speeds for your torrents."

After going to the portforward site and following the links that correspond to my router, it says to make sure the Enable UPnP box is unchecked. Any reason why that is? I remember researching this a while back and I think it's because it's a security issue. I don't think it's a big concern since rav009's guide didn't mention that when setting up utorrent. Just wondering if that setting affects speed

2) You also said:

"Under preferences in Utorrent, go to Torrents and set global max and max connections to 450."

I'm assuming set global max is "global max number of connections" and
max connections is "max number of connected peers per torrent". I'm guessing the time when you wrote your guide, you were using an earlier version of uTorrent and the uTorrent preference settings were worded differently.

I haven't really complained about my speeds, but I just wanna see if I can tweak them a bit more. Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this thread, it has upped my average speeds from 40-50 to between 100 and 200 for 1 gb +

(currently downloading vista and the prospect of waiting nearly a week was just a pee take XD)
