Get that.

Right, now first thing is the speed guide. If it doesn't auto-start on first run, then go to "Options" menu and then "Speed Guide".

Click "Test if port is forwarded correctly". If it is, you'll get a webpage saying OK. If not, it will have a link to a site that guides you on opening ports.

If the port is open and you're still getting shite speeds, try enabling encryption. TO do this, go to the "Options" menu again and click "Preferences".

On the pop-up box, you'll have options on the left. Click "BitTorrent". At the bottom you'll see "Protocol Encryption", change it to "Enabled" and wait a while. If it still hasn't sped up, try "Forced" and/or unchecking "Allow incoming legacy connections". (Try only if speeds are defiantly slower as this could slow it down even further).

I did a search and I can't find anything about Eircom slowing down torrents yet, some people can't get them working at all though so you might be one of the lucky ones.

OMG I actually went through all of that and opened the port Utorrent is using. Took like 40 minutes with having to set up a static ip. Previously, I had my cable modem hooked straight to the computer and it was downloading at great speeds, as the port was opened. But I bought a new router 2 days ago and the port was closed and downloading at shit speeds. I hope this helps.
