This is a follow-up:
Since I upgraded, my dl speeds using µTorrent haven't seemed to change all that much and I was hoping that anyone can inform if their is another client I can use to max out my downloads (dls).

Synbios:
uTorrent is definitely capable of maxing out most connections. I have gotten about 3.0 MB/s on mine which is what about what you should get with your 35 meg road runner service.

It is all dependent on the tracker/amount of peers. It looks like you're downloading a pretty well seeded torrent so perhaps your uTorrent is not configured correctly? There are quite a few user manageable options such as simultaneous connections and so forth.

I looked into the µTorrent configuration and did some research via Google. Now I have found a couple of links that applies to the client µTorrent and most of us are capable of tweaking our own OS along with tweaking the torrent client. Out of the three links posted below one has a patch that will alter the "Max Half Open TCP connection" within TCPIP.SYS.

So anyone interested in tweaking TCPIP.SYS please read carefully and there is a way to reset the value in TCPIP.SYS.

I have done the tweaking and when it comes time for me to acquire a torrent file, I'll post my results back here.

TheHalf™:
I did some tweaking as stated in the post prior, now I am actually taking the time to read articles within the µTorrent forums and I am tweaking here, tweaking there until I get what I am looking for.  [boxing].

The second image is a few moments later but it is a download from a dedicated server.

I've about done the best I can do with tweaking µTorrent and the third image shows my download from a dedicated server.
