Be nice to him, it took me a while to find this one too. Click the right top button on the window and set your uploads from 0 to 3 or 4 or whatever. O is unlimited which is the default.

Umm..my bittorrent client has no window. I also checked under preferences in the file menu and there was nothing. What client are you guys using? I've simply been downloading torrent files and then double clicking on those. As far as I know, the only visual interface are those download windows that pop up after clicking on torrent files.

I'm using this one off of versiontracker:
(hmm...maybe I have an old version)

last notice I heard, you had to fiddle with the command line using a terminal window...

I'll try carrafix. thanks.

Yes, the download window IS the one your looking for.. Forget about carrafix. And yes, your version of Bittorrent is the correct one.

I can see the Light!

Thanks all.



Does anybody know however what the command line setting is ,using Terminal, to permanently set a max upload speed so you don't have to manually do it for each and every one upload?
