Well, a simple solution is to
Limit ur download and upload speeds.
To do this in µTORRENT, got OPTIONS > PREFERENCES > CONNECTIONS
Set the uplaod limit to 15 KBps and download to 0 (wich means unlimited).
U will hv to work out on wat upload limit and tyr of with different settings(setting it to 11,12,13,14 or 15) to GET BETTER D/LOAD SPEEDS.
For me its upload set to
12 KBps to and i get a d/load of
26KBps (wich is
208 kbps) using a torrent
I personally use µTORRENT and along with that use PEER GUARDIAN 2 (to limit the acces of unwanted ppl seeing/sharing my data) this is a safe practice
NOTE: The best practice is to hv a ratio of 0.5 (upload data divided by d/load data) to hv a perfect balance. Also, it is possible that the speed of the peer (the one who is uploading is at a lower speed than u(so even if u hav a good speed of 26 KBps but if the peer speed of upload is jus 3-4 KBps u can imagine the time duration).
By the way, check my PORT FORWARDING TuT (given in my signature), I hope it will make u much clearer in ur usage of µTORRENT as its an essential part of any torrent (i hv screehshots as well to help u in that case on that TuT page)

use uTorrent and right click on the downloading torrent, set the download and upload speeds to ur choice. If you dont wish to upload much, set upload speed to 1 KBps.
Well its a bad practice, as uploads affects ur d/laod speed too, so its better to set it to 50% of ur total d/load speed (for eg: set it to a range between 11-15 KBps to get a good d/load speed of around 20-25 KBps), saying by experience.
