To get it to work well with torrents, I changed some of the settings...

Maximum Ports: 4096
TCP Timeout (s): 300
UDP Timeout (s): 300

And in uTorrent...

100 connectiions
4 Torrents
25KB/s

I'm on VM 4Mb and them settings seem to work well. It will be different for you if you have quicker/slower broadband.
Sounds good mate. So you run it with torrents for a long period of time without it crashing? Is that because you've got it at only 25kb/s?
