Seems you never ran Speed Guide (CTRL+G) in uTorrent. Unlimited upload speed...and on the right torrents, unlimited download speed too, can cause problems. You need to run the link Firon posted.

thanks firon and switeck for getting back to me. i checked out the link firon posted, http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php … 92#p258231, and i changed my settings according to the tips. one box i still have checked in my options is DHT network, and DHT network for new torrents. what i am trying to do is maximize my download speed while not straining the network. are there certain settings ...

Well, what settings WERE you using as shown by Speed Guide (CTRL+G)? How fast is the internet connection you're using both down and up...and how much of it are you allowed to use?
