Three tips for utorrent and it is the best torrent client I have used:

1) Always force start
2) Always set bandwidth allocation to "high"
3) Update trackers as often as you can

what's the force start for?
I remember I used it once and my file become corrupt.
I never use it again since sounds "force"fully

Force start ignores your settings and queue. So it overrides your other DL's and transfers in queue and also files you are seeding. It doesn't force a connection to the seeders

Hmm.. I didn't know that it would override the files you are seeding.

If I'm not mistaken, utorrent has a built-in limiter. So that if you do not seed at a particular speed, your downloads are also limited.

Somewhat but if your really in a rush for something force start overrides the settings without changing settings for all the other DL's and seeded files. I find if you don't use it in utorrent sometimes the transfers never start

You could always modify your settings to allow more simulataneous download/uploads to be running, so that the queuing system of uTorrent doesn't kick in.

Yes but that would effect all DL's .. Force start doesn't

I use Bitlord to download torrents.For me, utorrent wasn't providing me full speeds for download.Bitlord always downloads in full available speed.

LOL nah only the ones that don't seem to pick up trackers ... its still nice to see companies using them as an alternative though

so basically force start is to start the download using the default setting and restricted by our setting?
