I found this chart while trying to sort out my uTorrent speeds.

Key
Connection Type / Upload Maximum: Upload speed in kilobits/sec OR megabits/sec. NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH DOWNLOAD SPEED MAX!
UPLOAD Limit: Maximum Upload (Speed) Rate in KiloBYTES/second
Upload Slots: Number of upload slots per torrent (number of peers to upload to at once)
Connections Torr: Maximum number of Connected peers per Torrent
Connections MAX: Global Maximum number of Connections
MAX ACTIVE Torr: Maximum Number of Active Torrents (This is Seeding PLUS Downloading!)
MAX ACTIVE Down: Maximum Number of Active Downloading Torrents

Using settings too high for your connection can overload and/or slow down your computer, network, and connection...and may even severely impact the local segment of your ISP! (That is why most YouTube uTorrent/BitTorrent Speedup videos are BAD!)

Ill add some screenshots of where the values need to be placed in uTorrent.

nice m8 i doubled the values on all these a whileack and im downloading much faster since

I just have it set to download everything as fast as possible, and not seed at all.

 

[OliverE]

Tut tut. Even I seed ... 10% or 10 minutes xD
My net just cant cope.

 

[Factor8™]

I don't seed. xD

 

[SGT.Code]

i only seed when i forget to either remove the torrent or shutdown Utorrent
