Re: uTorrent
The more you offer, the more you get - if you throttle down too much, you get less data exchange (tit for tat) with incomplete peers. Do unto others, if you want them to do unto you.

For a 1 Mbit connection, 10kB upload and 4 upload slots is about the maximum - if you lower it to 8k, then lower the upload slots to 3 but allow extra slots. The new version has a tuning function, but it doesn't suit the extreme asymmetry of cable. The ideal seems to be that you offer around 2.5kB per slot, as a minimum.

NB. Upload slots are the number of "leechers" (co-downloaders) you can be connected to, seeds do not require upload slots.
