    How can I make it so that I do not upload anything on utorrent? Or at least make it less. Because im getting download speeds of 10kb/sec, and upload speeds at 50Kb/sec, and I would rather get the downlaod then waste my space on uploading.

    If you don't want to upload anything using torrents, I suggest you use a different method.

    If all people were like you, thinking you're wasting bandwidth by uploading, then you wouldn't be able to download anything because no one would be uploading to you.

    Leechers are highly frowned upon in the torrent world. I suggest you find a different method if you don't want to upload seeing as it's such a waste.

    I know, but is there a way to make it so at least im not uploading much more than I am downloading? Like, I dont mind uploading, but I dont really wanna upload more than Im downloading. You know what Im saying? Because I have a limit per month.

    Yeah, I have a limit per month too. Look around in the options.

    Connection -> Bandwidth Limiting
    Set the first value to something like 30 (although, limiting your upload may have consequences to your download speed on some trackers), then check the checkbox in that section and set something reasonable to your speeds.

    Try and at least seed a 2.0 ratio of your torrent. You can do this by going to Queuing then set the percentage (3rd box) to 200%, then check the checkbox at the bottom and set that to 0 if you want torrents to stop. I do it and it works fine.
