Well as long as you're in Norway you pretty much have to have Norwegian locale/location, unless you want everything in useless inches, miles and Fahrenheit language setting stays and has stayed english since 3.1 and 95, and dos, but that didn't really have one

main problem with utorrent is that it tends to totally rape the network, even with identical settings to other torrent programs as far as connection and transfer settings go. might be better now, but I only use it for small local stuff, everything else goes through the import folder with vuze on my htpc/server, which imports, filters and sorts everything by category and folder automatically.

The UK uses Celsius too, you silly Viking

And the United Kingdom location setting provides measurements in Metric: https://dl.dropbox.c...tricsetting.png

I didn't know that the network molestation was a uTorrent thing... I might have to try alternatives because I have noticed that.

For some reason the only client that works best for me is uTorrent. I get good connections to peers and the download speed is good.

I have tried Transmission, Deluge, Vuze, qBitorrent and none of them even come close to the transfer speeds as uTorrent. Maybe I have configured something wrong...

qbitorrent works just as fast as utorrent for me, I can always max my bandwidth on a well seeded torrents. it supports all the bittorrent features utorrent does too (utp etc...)

my only problem with qbittorrent was the WebUI is very buggy (doesn't like to render fully). as i use the webui quite a bit that in itself is enough to turn me away from it

I'm trying out deluge right now, and it's pretty good but I miss some of the things about the utorrent webui (mostly how it manages multiple save folders)

but then I might as well use the Norwegian location setting, it has all the proper measurement, punctuations and number value and the correct curency. and the language setting is separate so I can have my OS and any properly coded app in English

yeah, utorrent at least used to be horrible with the network, even nearly killing routers without even providing max speed.
