I think my ISP caught on to my torrenting. Now when ever I open it it uploads fine but wont download at all.

What do?

Just checking: It is being seeded?

Anyway you could sign up to a VPN, they're generally pretty cheap.

Randomize the port you're using, and maybe think about putting a bandwidth cap in place to keep the ISP's attention off of you in the future. If they're throttling you now, it's because they're losing a lot of bandwidth to you, so if you can get your client to manage that instead, they shouldn't throttle you again.

If you're not using a client that can do those things, get one. There's no reason not to be using a client at uTorrent-level.

It shows up that it is not but it definitely has seeds.

okay thanks. I'm using bit torrent on a mac but it still looks like I can do all this.

What is a safe rate to set my allocation?

Depends on a) your service provider b) the tier of Internet you're paying for. Just poke around their website for details on monthly bandwidth capping.

For example, I have the Cox Preferred package. I'm allowed 200gb of up/downloading per month.
