you could be having something thats chewing up your bandwidth check all the running programs plus check your start up programs NETVIEW your computer in Cmd.Lastly check with your ISP and find out your downloading speed.
 
Is BitTorrent traffic on a well-known BitTorrent port (6882) throttled?

* The BitTorrent upload (seeding) worked. Our tool was successful in uploading data using the BitTorrent protocol.

* There's no indication that your ISP rate limits your BitTorrent uploads. In our tests a TCP upload achieved at least 5221 Kbps while a BitTorrent upload achieved at most 5498 Kbps. You can find details here.

This is connection during Peak hours:

During the night I reach about 98mbps... On speedtest (not Utorrent)

I have a WRN3500 Gigabit Router and a Gigabit PC-e Card.

The problem is my uTorrent speeds suck!

I get about 2mbps DL on a good day, and about 1mbps upload.

I have seen screenshots of peoples Utorrent downloading at 40mbps!

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!
 
The automatic speed testing I mentioned before should have taken care of these settings, but if you want to play around with more "conservative" ones:
Global Maximum Number of Connections: 200
Maximum Number of Connected Peers per Torrent: 40
Number of Upload Slots per Torrent: 5

Use that and see if your download speeds increase at last :)

I never had a "automatic" setting on the speed.

I can manually run a speed test and manually configure my upload speeds:

For starters, you could check if you're using the right max connections/upload speed settings, but this:

During the night I reach about 98mbps...

Is that with uTorrent? If so, your ISP may be engaging on traffic shaping during the day.
 
Looks like you aren't being shaped. Try this if you haven't already:
http://half-open.com/

You'll also need to increase uTorrent's net.max_halfopen value to 50 after patching the file.

I have not done any advance mods or patches or tweaks to my utorrent connection...

I will try Halfopen....

I ran it and it gave me a dialogue box:

"The patch is not required, because this Windows version has no limit of half-open connections quantity."
 
OK then. Newer uTorrent versions can do an speed test directly from the program and adjust your settings accordingly. Go to Preferences -> Speed Guide, and do that. Then check if your speeds improve.
