Hi

What the best way to know at what do i download? Utorrent show always less then DU Meter...what one must i believe? DU Meter or Utorrent? Utorrent say most about 25KB, while DU says 39-40KB...

Thx

uTorrent is showing your transfer rate of the file but with out the overheads. DU meter is including the overheads +any other traffic on your network

but whe3n i close utorrent, du also stop and go to 0KB..so what u say now?

DU simply adds the overhead usage of torrents.

Torrent have HUGE overheads to maintain all those connections.

If you expect help, I suggest you stop that cocky kind of comments like "so what u say now?"

DUmeter is the more accurate if you want to know how much bandwidth you're using. uTorrent is accurate if you want to know how fast you're getting whatever it is you're torrenting.

uTorrent = data speed only.
DUmeter = data speed + overhead (what uTorrent uses to keep the trackers, peers updated etc).
