what version is this?

**Bman** · February 9th, 2010

Was there not already a 2.0 thread? Just checked, I am using 2.1 lol

**American Zombie** · February 9th, 2010

2.0 is the latest official release.

2.1 is still in alpha stage and as such is not feature complete yet.

**Johnny** · February 9th, 2010

o.k .. I thought so. I have the latest version already.

All I know is so far my torrents seem to download faster.

I have seen some hit 2MB/s and most are over 1MB/s in a short amount of time after starting torrent.

It is a built in feature that throttles your bandwith so the isps don't have to. You can disable it. But it is still something that I do not like ...

I don't think you fully understand what this is about as maybe your info came from sources that did not have the correct information.

Like I said before, so far all my torrents have been as fast or faster then I was getting without µTP.

**Johnny** · February 9th, 2010

I looked and think I might have got it confused with the bandwidth throttling. I enabled it and am testing it out.

**epk** · February 10th, 2010

how do u enable utp without the throttling?

i changed my advanced options to default and most of my torrents seem slower

**Johnny** · February 10th, 2010

I enabled it and my speed went up. If they would make this like DHP with just utorrent users, it would be awesome .. Well, only utorrent users can use it, but if they would it like DHP; it would be even more cool ...

You can't, uTP is throttling, well more like QoS. It also comes on by default.

Also 2.x is, and may remain, banned on some private trackers as uTP isn't working just the way it should. Just and FYI before you upgrade.

**Johnny** · February 11th, 2010

Here is how to enable it and disable it. And it doesn't come on by default; at least it wasn't with mine, as I had to turn it on.

How to enable and disable it:
Preferences > Advanced, set bt.transp_disposition to:
255 – both TCP and uTP (default)
10 – uTP only
5 – TCP only

**American Zombie** · February 11th, 2010

Mine says 15 so I assume that is both.

**epk** · February 11th, 2010

oh, ok.. thanks guys :]

well, i'll try settin it to 15 again and check the speed

**Johnny** · February 11th, 2010

255 is both .... 15 was the default setting on mine and it wasn't turned on.

**American Zombie** · February 11th, 2010

15 is both.....255 is if you want all options that may be in the future.

**Johnny** · February 11th, 2010

^^ The link I posted above says that 255 is is both .. Either way, I put mine to 255 and it turned it on. 15 on mine didn't have it on.

**American Zombie** · February 11th, 2010

From what I could find it appears that 15 and 255 are basically the same.
I guess use whatever works for you.

How to enable and disable it:
Preferences > Advanced, change bt.transp_disposition. This is now a bitfield, so you can add up the following numbers to get your desired setting.
1 - outgoing TCP
2 - outgoing uTP
4 - incoming TCP
8 - incoming uTP
Specific combinations:
255 - both TCP and uTP, incoming + outgoing (future-proof setting, always will mean this)
15 - both TCP and uTP, incoming + outgoing (default)
