How to reset uTorrent settings
1. You do not have to uninstall and reinstall uTorrent software.
2. First completely terminate uTorrent, then go to 'RUN' (in Windows), type: %appdata%/utorrent
3. Then when you're in the uTorrent folder, delete these two items:
"settings.dat.old" and "resume.dat.old"
4. And then relaunch uTorrent again.
I noticed a difference but not what i expected
