Hi, I use KTorrent 4.0.3 and I have no problem.

Just an idea about a feature I think it will be useful:

sometimes, when I have to make phone call through Skype or similar, I have to set maximum upload speed to a lower value because of lag. Even the response of websites takes much time. I think it would be great if I have three buttons to set three pre-configured speeds. Like "green button": ok , ready to go, maximum upload, "yellow button": just a bit less of upload speed, "red button": I need most of the upload to other programs.

Actually, on my ADSL line, maximum upload is 60 Kb/s, but I can't go over 45, or everything stucks. upload at 45 Kb/s makes me download at no more than 200 Kb/s, so i set upload at 30/35 Kb/s to download even at 800 Kb/s. When I still want to upload, but I need to use bandwidth for other programs (sending email, phone calls, uploading on websites, etc) I set upload speed to 10 Kb/s.

I think this would be an handy feature, don't you?

(sorry for may bad english)

I'm running 4.0.3 and I have that feature.

Right click on the KTorrent icon in the system tray (down arrow) and you should see the option if you're running a recent version. If you're running an older version, you can enjoy the knowledge that the feature you wish is on it's way. :)
