i wonder why i only getting around 25kbps only?
is there any setting?

could be the file u downloading have limited seed.....try download those popular file to test out..

Currently happy with build 10431. Able to get the fastest torrent speed ever > 80 kbps for the cartoon Spectacular spiderman. I am sticking with this build until things go wrong....

Let me just say this, utorrent 1.8 has problems connecting to tracker. It seems that using proxomitron and having firefox as the user-agent makes connecting to tracker a breeze.
utorrent + proxomitron combo beats the hell out of deluge (I was using deluge until I realize utorrent 1.8 is actually faster, except for the fact that it is having problems connecting to tracker).

ya im currently revert to this build..it turns out this build perform faster than latest build..dunno y

does proximitron still works? Hrmm... interesting.... Could you post the setup? I've used it before, but already uninstalled it in this new pc.... forgot how to configure it....

i oso wanna know

Sure, just download proxomitron june edition, run it(using google isn't that HARD).

Press Headers, scroll down to an user-agent. Edit one of them(or create a new one) by selecting it and pressing the edit button. Rename it to User-Agent:Mozilla Firefox under HTTP Header. Replace the text under Replacement Text with this:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14
Then Press the Ok button.

Now tick the "Out" box next to User-Agent:Mozilla Firefox. Press Apply then Ok and you're good to go.

I use the User Agent Switcher plugin to find out my user-agent(on firefox). You can always use something else, but I can't get it to work with netscape's user agent or whatever, so I decided to use firefox's.

Now, in utorrent 1.8, go to Options>Preferences(or just press ctrl+p)>Connection. Select proxy type as http, and insert 127.0.0.1 as ip and 8080 as port. Proxomitron needs to keep running for this to work. DO NOT tick the "Use proxy server for peer-to-peer connection".

By the way, your computer won't act as a public proxy as long as the "limit access to only this pc" is selected under config in proxomitron. If you still have doubts, just have a firewall on (I have my router for that).

Note: Proxomitron must be running while utorrent 1.8 is running if you were to use Proxomitron.

Why do we need to insert ip as "insert 127.0.0.1 as ip"? Is this a specific ip for proxomitron?

127.0.0.1 simply redirects back to yourself. It is the IP for localhost. Anyway, typing localhost as the IP might cause severe loop problems, in which I have tried using privoxy. I mean, cmon, proxomitron acts as a proxy server with YOU as the host and only YOU who is able to use it (unless you change the settings), so the IP address should be pointed back to you. Since I'm a helpful fellow, I'll throw in a link.

ok thanks. Now using build 10431, without proximitron on my laptop ; wireless connection and able to get >90 kbps for Naruto Shipudden. Wow..... > 80 kbps is a wow for me.... although i know that some of you could get > 100 kbps.....

Now trying bleach, and see how fast it can go.....

Yup, still can go > 80 kbps..... another wow....
