uTorrent and other BitTorrent clients are a type of Peer2Peer (P2P) file sharing system. Like all P2P file sharing systems, one computer must upload so that another computer can download. BitTorrent clients, such as uTorrent, will not let you download from other clients if you do not upload back to them.

In short, yes. The files you download are uploaded to other people who are trying to download the same file. Only the things you download are uploaded. uTorrent does not share personal files such as your "My Documents". uTorrent does share anything you download through uTorrent. If you do not share your downloaded torrent files with other users, other users will not want to upload to you.

Does uploading speed affect the downloading speed on utorrent?

Yes. There are two principles involved. 1. The more upload your uTorrent gives out, the more download it will receive back from other peers. 2. If upload in uTorrent is set too high, or to unlimited, download speeds will suffer as needed communications (resend requests, acknowledgment signals etc.) will not be able to get through. The general rule is to cap upload in uTorrent to 80% of the upload capacity of your internet connection. This will give out maximum upload while leaving room for the communications.

How do play torrent video file in media player?

There si no such thing as "torrent video file". Once you download the torrent file from a torrent site, you have to open it into a torrent program- like utorrent- and then let the program download the whole thing for you. Only after that you can play the video (or anything else you downloaded). Just downloading the torrent file from the site is useless unless you open it with utorrent after that and let it download. The video file downloaded through utorrent will usually be in a format playable in Media Player. The videos on torrents are usually in .avi formats, very rarely anything else, unless it says it in the description. To open .avi files in Media Player all you have to do is double click the file. If your default video player is not Media Player, then double click and select "Open with...".


What is the best and fastest port for utorrent i already tried testing the port but you still goes slow when i test it it says the port is close what does that mean please help?

The number chosen for the uTorrent port is not that important (other than avoiding the ports commonly blocked by ISPs: 6881-6999). What is important is clearing that port (forwarding) through any firewall, software or hardware (router) on your system. A firewall will block uTorrent communications (as it should) unless an exception is made to allow uTorrent. This guide had information to help with that: Optimizing µTorrent for Speed http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/optimizing-torrent-speed.htm
