Tweaking Torrent Speeds to reach 300kbps??

I average around 140+kbps while downloading torrent files.

This is at unlimited download speeds and limiting my upload speed to around 16kbps when max is around 26kbps.


I noticed that when I, all of a sudden, increase my download limit to 300kbps, it actually reaches that speed and stays there for some time before gradually going back to normal speeds.

Speed hike? But I tried it several times and it worked each time. It then drops back to its normal speed. 150kbps.


Is there any way to get it to stay at 300kbps or even at 200+kb/s and be stable. I figured if it reached that speed, then probably it is possible to tweak the connection.

Im using utorrent 1.8
