Thanks for that info, the FTP program I was using didn't support segmented downloading. Grabbed CuteFTP Pro and holy god is it fast. Regularly getting about 50Mbps downloads now. Just blazing fast.

Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Wish utorrent was less bloated as well... but still want some features.
RSS Selective Downloading (choose which files) and Scheduling being the most important.
But I have been using utorrent so long I am not even sure what features I use without being aware of it...

On what box I get about. 3.4megabytes/sec solid on downloads over secured ftp. Such downloads don't count towards your cap.
Filezilla with 3 files at a time seems optimal.

I don't get the fuss about uTorrent. It does its job. It downloads torrents. I still get 3MB/s and up with 3.x. You can turn off the advertising entirely if you edit the preferences except for the menu item, and... just don't click on it.

As best I can tell, the pop up you get from trying to right click > open containing folder is not something you can turn off. I have the rest of the ads off already, yet I still get that. I was able to deal with everything else, but a torrent client trying to sell me stuff when I want to open a directory is over the top IMO.

I'm running 3.2.3 and haven't ever gotten a pop-up when using 'open containing folder'...

Same. I've never seen this.
Could it be coming from some add-on? Or, dare I suggest, malware?

No, it's from uTorrent. With uTorrent 3.2.3, if you right click > open containing folder, if the torrent has a .rar/.zip (and I imagine .exe) uTorrent will sometimes give you a "careful, this file might harm your computer" popup, which then leads to "buy a year of uTorrent premium for better virus protection" ad. My roommate is getting it as well.

Like I said, it isn't every time. The folder also must contain an archive or .exe. If you saw the popup, you would know it isn't malware. It's clearly part of the uTorrent software. I can't seem to force it on an already downloaded torrent that is seeding; must be for new downloads only.
I'll screenshot it next time it happens.
edit: here is a thread at the uTorrent forum about it. I'm not crazy.

Internal Server Error for me now too.
On a side note, does anyone have tips on how to increase upload speed and capability for IPT? I'm using uTorrent currently on Comcast XI and it seems like my uploads have all been non existant. Keep getting Hit & Run warnings because of it.

Had some issues with getting double charged for downloads which caused me to get a couple hit and run warnings not to mention I got charged for the extra download which is pretty retarded to begin with. They said it was likely due to a faulty install of utorrent 3.2.2 but I reinstalled and ended up with the same issues later anyways. My ratio is retarded good but it still bugs the shit out of me that this is happening. Anyone else get this issue or know how to fix it?

I have more than 15k points so I can zap another 300 torrents. It's basically useless on people like me who have uploaded massive amounts of stuff in the past but it seriously hurts those who are new and even dare to download one thing that wasn't released less than a week ago.

It's hard to get to a 1.0 ratio on new stuff since the early part where there's a gazillion leechers is hard to get to due to all the people with seedboxes and stuff. I have a fuckload of upload credit but the new files are a huge pita and will eventually either chip into that or i'll have to leave them on the torrent client indefinitely.
