Wrong, utorrent doesn't change the connection limit, it does however open the ports in the windows firewall if you want it to.

Did you forward that port correctly on your router?

thanks for quoting that post, bto. that just makes it easier for me to point out how both of them are completely inaccurate.

You can be connected to 10 IPs at once just fine, i believe the famous SP2 change had to do at which rate/speed you can open new connections. I've always been torrenting and downloading at SP2 in various clients, never had to change that Windows setting to get good speeds. Either clients change it for you, or it just doesn't affect things as much as misinformed "news" sites want you to believe.

message i get when i try and use port opened especally for utorrent.

Welcome to the µTorrent Port Checker.
A test will be performed on your computer to check if the specified port is opened.

Checking port 6881 on 86.138.***.151...

Error! Port 6881 does not appear to be open.

I don't think you forwarded it correctly, try setting a new port in the 45000 to 65000 range and point it to your local ip.

no, its just that you can only have a maximum of 10 "connecting" connections.
