Ok...I saw in preference tab "Apply Limit to uTp Connections" was checked & I unchecked it...what does it do?

I guess, if you have already disabled it, then YOU can tell US, how this have affected your speeds!

Found a page which seems useful, to know about "Apply Limit to uTp Connections" setting.
Less connections and speed slowdown when Update to 2.0.3 (20664) (Page 1) / Troubleshooting / µTorrent Community Forums
If you can try to find the necessary info from it, that would be good. I will try to go into detail when I have got time. :))

Hey guys dnt u think utorrent files takes more time to download than downloading through HTTP....

e.g: if speed is 1mbps then thru HTTP it takes 1hr to download 400~430mb file whereas utorrent downloads only 300~350mb in 1hr

yes. however its not limited to utorrent only...torrent files in general take more time to download...

LOL...on my 0.5mbit connection, i can download 230-250mb in an hour via http/ftp...and 160-180mb via torrent in an hour...

Actually it depends on what connection your peers use or lets say whats their uploading speed because if they are uploading at 10kbps then no matter if you use 1gbps your speed will still be 10kbps. Also in Utorrent you are uploading and downloading simultaneously so obviously speed of download will suffer a bit.

^^ Yes they are but some weird reason I don't know if you upload and download simultaneously your speed will suffer. I have tried that.
I started download of some large patch from EA and then after sometime started upload on mediafire and the download speed of patch suffered well not by much but it did.

Maybe some of you guys arent able to notice the difference but it does.
Do these 2 things together and it will become Crystall clear. Do it after you close down your torrent.

1) Download any moderately large file say 30mb from a reputated site like cnet download, file hippo,etc. And note down top download and average speed.
2) Upload a Youtube vid and check how much time it takes to go up.


Do these 2 together and everything will become very clear.
 
Direct download links are always faster than torrents.
But if the server is under heavy load, it affects download speed.
This is where torrents come in, thousands of people seeding the file, even if a person stops seeding, others take his place, and thus speed is constantly high. But if there are less no. of seeders then the speed is pathetic.
Its painful to search and find a torrent that has a good no. of seeders(excluding private trackers), but its the opposite for download links.
Conclusion, both are good depending on what you want to download...

so what is the conclusion of download speed from http & utorrent????
Use Torrents for large files and for small files http given the condition that you find that file. Searching for a file in torrents is very easy.
