Utorrent question

[Bruinator]

When using utorrent, what should I set my transfer rate to when dealing with up / dl speed or both? What should I set each one to to get the best speed rate?

you can just leave them as default which should be 'auto'; you really only need to set them if you want to throttle the connection speed if it's causing slowness to other services/devices on your network.

 

BUT I really don't recommend using Utorrent anymore; it's far too bloated for what it's worth. And the older 2.x builds that used to be recommended have some bad security flaws in them now that are well known.

 

If you want a good torrenting client then I'd recommend qBittorrent or Transmission (I actually run transmission directly on my Open-WRT router lol)

I will give them a try. TYVM BH.

Second for Transmission. I use it on my Linux machine.

I love being able to run it directly on my router. then I can just use either the Web UI or the Transmission Remote GUI app on my computer and Transmission Remote on my phone to connect to the server
