Answer 1

To see if your uTorrent is set up properly for best speed use  the built in Speed Guide (Ctrl+G).

First use the "test if port is forwarded properly" button to see if the uTorrent port is open for communication.

If it is open, then the Speed Guide has a link to a speed test and a Connection Type menu which, when you input your upload connection speed, will automatically adjust uTorrent settings to their optimal for best speed on your internet connection.

See here for more info on using the Speed Guide:

If the port is not open, then uTorrent needs to be cleared through your firewall and (if you have one) router.

There are some firewall guides at the uTorrent forums:

http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?...

There are router guides here (choose make and model and get guide for uTorrent and router):

Then it is a matter of choosing good torrents that have a high seed/peer ratio.
