If you are experiencing slow or nonexistent downloads or uploads using BitTorrent, enabling encryption in your BitTorrent client may help.

__NOTOC__
==µTorrent==

µTorrent is a popular BitTorrent client for Windows. Enabling encryption in it is easy.

First, choose Preferences from the File menu:

Then click BitTorrent at the left, then choose Forced from the Protocol Encryption: Outgoing dropdown menu:

Then click OK.

Although you may also simply choose Enabled to let µTorrent choose when to use encryption, if your ISP is using so-called "traffic shaping" to slow down your BitTorrent traffic, this may not be as effective as choosing Forced.
