How to Set the Upload Limit in uTorrent
As of 2010, uTorrent is the most popular BitTorrent client due to its small size and versatility. uTorrent also includes a host of advanced features that make torrent file sharing more accessible to a larger audience of users. One concern that arises, though, is the amount of bandwidth uTorrent uses while sharing files. By default, uTorrent is set to allow unlimited upload bandwidth usage. This setting can be changed to a more reasonable limit in the uTorrent settings.
