Step 4: Customize Download Settings

3. Adjust other settings if needed (priority, limiting download/upload speeds, etc.).

4. Click “OK” to begin the download.

Step 5: Monitor Download Progress

1. The uTorrent dashboard will display the progress of your download, including time remaining, download/upload speeds, and file size.
