    Torrent speed slow on a certain device but fast on others.

    I have 2 PC's at home with bit torrent. With exactly the same settings and same download the one does 50kb/s and the other 800kb/s Notes: Normal direct downloads and steam updates are fast and the same speed on both. The MSI Z97 GAMING 5 has a killer lan adapter could that be the issue? Thank you

    UTorrent automatically shuts down after some time?

    While some torrents are running in the latest uTorrent Beta 3.5.0 Build 44000 (upgraded from previous version which had same problem), the application closes on its own when I'm away or so and I haven't been able to find the real cause. Checked all the preferences, tried Defaulting but none helped!

    Hello When i want to torrent a file i use bittorrent. This program is really slow, not my download speed but the program itself. So i tried Utorrent and it has the same problem. I can't figure out what the problem is. It is not that my pc is restricted by its hardware. Kind regards Smurf
