Slow Internet Browsing Connection with utorrent

The issue: utorrent is slowing down your web browsing to a crawl

Common WRONG Solutions:
1) Buy a faster connection
- No, my 6MBit connection is plenty for me
2) Buy a better router
- No, my $100 Buffalo router is top of the line
3) Check all your advanced settings in utorrent
- ARGH one by one, thats alot of work!
4) Your computer is too slow
- No, it isnt

Let me quickly elaborate on the problem.

1. I have a fast connection
2. I have a fast router
3. I have a fast computer
4. When utorrent is running, my internet slows to a dismal 10kb/s

I have seen quite a few posts on utorrent regarding the connection speed. It is frustrating to read these as many mis-diagnose the issue and place blame in the wrong areas.

THE SOLUTION

Slow your upload speed. Simple as that. If you are on cable, then you are probably capped at around 50kb/s. Try limiting to 20kb/s... or in my case, even 5kb/s for unhindered browsing speed.

This small change should have a dramatic impact on your connection speed. Hope it helps!
