To be honest the port range of 10000 - 60000.is just pointless. you don't need that kind of range forwarded

Something like 7000 - 7070 is MORE then enough

some of my ratios are 0.000

Some bit torrent programs require the range to be above 10000 as far as I know. I never gave it much thought before, what are the advantages of only having certain ports open? I wouldn't want to be losing out on any speed.

You'll find any port restrictions are generally down to the tracker being used, for example alot of trackers won't allow users to use the commenly used ports as many ISP block them

Well I got the NTL 20mb today and managed to get the green light on utorrent just by forwarding the utorrent port. I must have made a mistake when I tried to do it on the d-link router. I find the upload speed the biggest difference, it's amazing to see a file uploading at over 100kb/s after years of watching them doing barely anything.

Has anyone tried uTorrent 1.8 RC7 yet? I've given it a go, and it's all good. I like how it has included a tracker tab in the stats area. Very helpful.

Was kinda reluctant to try it. Is it stable?

I doubt it's 100% stable yet, as it's still a release candidate,but so far, no crashes or any problems. I'd anticipate a stable release soon, though.

It's still worth a try.

For me, no problems. It has been as stable as 1.7 so far. Haven't made use of Web UI, though. I say go for it!

Oh, you mean the title bar? I agree, I prefer the old one. The icon is the same in the taskbar and systray, too. Can't be helped.
