&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; License Agreement 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Read the mambo jambo. You must click I Agree to continue if not the installation will not continue.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">It will give the following dialog: 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="http://www.bootstrike.com/Articles/BitTorrentGuide/images/installutorrent.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Choose Install Location 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; You want the program to be easily accessible, don't you? Click Next &gt; and the shortcut will be created in your desktop, quick launch and start menu, as well as installing it to a permanent location.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">uTorrent Setup asks your permission to associate with files: 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="http://www.bootstrike.com/Articles/BitTorrentGuide/images/configuration.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Configuration 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; All are fine except for the last one - 'Start utorrent when Windows starts up'. This used to be optional but with version 1.8.3 onwards, utorrent is set by default to start along when Windows starts. This may irk some users, especially if you pay for Internet Access by the megabyte. How? If you close uTorrent after you are done with it without deleting the torrent and restart your computer, utorrent starts in the background and continues leeching and seeding the torrents. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Bottom line? If your Internet Access is unlimited, leave the checkbox checked. Otherwise, uncheck the last box.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">The latest releases of uTorrent now come bundled with Ask.Com Toolbar: 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="http://www.bootstrike.com/Articles/BitTorrentGuide/images/asktoolbar.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Ask Toolbar 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; This is NOT required,&nbsp; 100% optional and will not affect your download/upload speeds. Installing this will insert a Ask.Com Toolbar in Internet Explorer and Firefox (if you have it). 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
The reason uTorrent is including this is because it gets paid for every installation and is a means of revenue for the company. So it is up to you whether you want it. If you find that you don't like it later on, you can remove the toolbar from Add/Remove programs later on without affecting uTorrent. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Make your desired checkmarks and click Install</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">This step only applies for versions older than utorrent v1.8.2. It ensures that utorrent is set to handle all torrent files automatically. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="http://www.bootstrike.com/Articles/BitTorrentGuide/images/defaulttorrent.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Making uTorrent the default application for torrent files 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Click Yes. On current versions of uTorrent, this is done automatically.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">And the next dialog box is the most important step 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="http://www.bootstrike.com/Articles/BitTorrentGuide/images/networksetup.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; uTorrent Speed Guide 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Now the value that we are interested in right now is the Upload Limit in kB/s (aka KBps). If you have trouble understanding your speed, consider this: Internet Explorer shows download speed as KBps when you download a file. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; There is a big difference between 5Kbps and 5KBps. Make sure you got the right values in KBps (not kbps, the cAsE of 'b' matters) . Use <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=100kbps+to+KBps" target="_blank">Google Calculator</a> if you need help with conversions.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Click the (Current Settings) drop down 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="http://www.bootstrike.com/Articles/BitTorrentGuide/images/speedvalues.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Preset Speed Settings on clicking Current Settings 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
The authors of uTorrent have been very helpful in providing a list of predefined values. Your connection should be near to one of the above categories. &quot;xx/384k&quot; means that your download is unlimited and your upload is limited to 384kbps (which is 48KBps by <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;lr=&amp;q=384Kb+to+kB" target="_blank">Google Calculator</a>). 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
With your results of the speed test you did above, select the closest upload speed from the list. uTorrent immediately adjusts the &quot;Affected Settings&quot; area with recommended values for your upload speed. We're not finished yet. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Note: The default download speed in utorrent is Unlimited. Even if your download is limited in some way, it is always better to leave it at unlimited to get maximum download speeds. However, if you need to limit your download speeds, right-click the utorrent icon on the system tray (bottom right), click Download Limit and set accordingly. You can also set this in the Preferences dialog. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Note: uTorrent randomly generates a port number in Current Port. This guide assumes the port number to be 55641 - but you can substitute it with the number uTorrent shows.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Port forwarding is also important. Click on &quot;Test if port is forwarded properly&quot; to run the test. If you have trouble running the test, it could be due to one or more of the following reasons:<ol>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Home Router 
If you are running a router (sometimes called wireless access point) at home, you will have to configure it to route all TCP / UDP BitTorrent traffic to port 55641 to your computer. If so, <a href="http://portforward.com/english/applications/port_forwarding/Utor/Utorindex.htm" target="_blank">visit this page</a> for a guide on how to port forward. Click the router you are using and follow instructions. When following the guide and the router asks for a range of ports to forward, simply specify 55641 to 55641 (remember to substitute it with the actual port number you are using).</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Personal Firewall 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; If you are running a firewall software such as Norton Internet Security, Norton 360, Kaspersky, ZoneAlarm, etc, then configure your firewall such that uTorrent has access to port 55641. This is normally accomplished by starting up utorrent. The firewall should spring up an access alert. Simply select the option to &quot;Always Allow&quot; to allow the program to access the Internet. Messages such as &quot;utorrent wants to act as a server&quot; or &quot;utorrent is attempting to listen for connections&quot; must be allowed as well. In fact, if the program in question is utorrent, you should always check &quot;Allow&quot; no matter what request it is. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Windows Firewall Users 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; uTorrent will automatically configure Windows Firewall for you so there is no action needed from you.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Corporate Firewall 
Are you running this software in a corporate network? Bad news - you have to inform the admin that you want the port to be directed to your computer. The good news - you can still go by without port forwarding, but speeds will not be optimal.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Utorrent.Com Port Forward Checking Website has a problem 
Yes, especially if you are accessing the Internet through a transparent proxy that your ISP forces you to use. This simply means that the website is checking for open ports at the wrong computer. To verify if this is the case, uTorrent port checker runs an alternative port checker at port 16000, which you can access by using the form below:</li>

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Enter the port number&nbsp; in this box:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; and click&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; . 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 
Sometimes the utorrent port checker server may be down - you may get 'page cannot be displayed' or a blank page 'unable to connect' if this is so. If this is the case, the only way to check is to run the actual torrent. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 
</li>
</ol>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Having done all the above, if the website still says that it has problems accessing the port, the ultimate test will be when we do a test file downloading. For now, let's click on Use Selected Settings.
