Question: I think utorrent has been consuming lots of bandwidth and my connection is not that fast.
How do I set it so that it consumes the less possible bandwidth?
I've tried setting its download and upload limit to 1kbps. Together with the download bandwidth allocation set to low. I even exited utorrent but it seems that it is still consuming lots of bandwidth. How do I solve this one?

Answer: 
Don't forget that closing uTorrent via the [x] at the top right doesn't actually exit the program. It closes the UI but keeps the process running - there should be an icon in the system tray.

To completely close uTorrent you have to select **File > Exit**.

I believe that affects only the actual torrent data exchange.
You might also want to turn off DHT.
