How to Limit Download and Upload Rate in uTorrent

Usually, I download files from torrents only while working offline. Because, you can’t work online while downloading torrents. Most of the bandwidth is taken up by the torrents itself and you cannot do anything else online. But, however when I have to do both simultaneously, I limit the bandwidth usage of my torrents. (Er.. I am talking here about broadband connections with an average speed of around 512 KBPS)

uTorrent is one of the most popular and most used torrent client. In this post, I am going to show you how to limit the rate of  download or upload for a particular download.

• Select the torrent download for which you want to limit the download/upload rate.
• Right-Click on it and select “Properties” option.
• In the dialog box opened, under the “Bandwidth Settings” change the maximum download rate and upload rate as you desire.
• If you want to change it back to default, replace the rate by 0.

That’s it. You can now browse the web while the torrent is downloading.
