Are you trying to download music, i use Azureus instead of uTorrent.

Azureus, now called Vuze : Bittorrent Client here is the link

[stump0331]

i use bearshare mostly for music and movies, but when i want a hard to find movie or program i use uturrent

[deere4440]

Oh i c, i used to use uTorrent. It seemed slower than Azureus, that's why i use it.

Its called port forwarding... designating a port on your router for the utorrent program (or any other program for that matter) to work with the web through, making the program more efficient and downloading faster.

PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall

The website has step by step instructions to set up the router and your program.

All torrents will be different speeds, it depends on the seeders and leechers. Which program you use shouldnt make a difference. Videos are usually slower than music.
