Calling all Utorrent users! - xda-developers

Calling all Utorrent users! - xda-developers: "If you've got multiple computers, here's a nifty trick I found this past weekend to get around some ISP's (namely, Comcast) throttling:

1) On both computers, install uTorrent 3.0 Alpha.
2) Under Preferences>BitTorrent set outbound encryption to forced, and un-check 'Allow incoming legacy connections', under Basic BitTorrent Features, make sure everything except 'Limit local peer bandwidth' is checked.
3) Confirm your router supports UPnP, and check Preferences>Connection 'Enable UPnP port mapping', 'Enable NAT-PMP port mapping', 'Randomize port each start', and 'Add Windows Firewall exception'
3a) If you have a firewall on your computer like ESET Smart Security, make sure to create an exception for all inbound and outbound TCP and UDP connections to/from utorrent.exe.
4) Load the same torrent file in both computers' uTorrent list. Under Peers, right-click and select 'add peer', and enter the LAN IP address and port (you can get the port from Preferences>Connection>Listening Port) of the other computer."
