Do you "allow incoming legacy connections?"

I keep encryption/spoof forced on utorrent.

I was wondering how does allowing or not legacy connections affect reaching downloads & serving others with seeds ::)

This topic is covered in the uTorrent help file, and please note that the FINAL sentence seems rather definitive on this question…

Quote:
Protocol Encryption

• The Outgoing dropdown menu allows you to select the mode of encryption that you prefer µTorrent to establish. All modes will accept incoming encrypted connections, and the encryption is 2-way.

--Disabled will force µTorrent to attempt to establish only unencrypted outgoing connections.

--Enabled will allow µTorrent to establish encrypted and unencrypted outgoing connections, depending on how the peer responds to the handshake. This is the recommended option, as it provides µTorrent with the largest pool of peers to pick from for connecting to.

--Forced forces µTorrent to establish only encrypted outgoing connections. Any peer that doesn't support encryption will not be connected to. It is recommended that you not use this option unless your ISP actively searches for unencrypted outgoing connections, as it can impair your ability to connect to peers.

• Allow incoming legacy connections allows µTorrent to accept unencrypted incoming connections. If disabled, any incoming connection that is unencrypted will be ignored. It is recommended that you not disable this option unless your ISP actively searches for unencrypted incoming connections, as it can significantly impair your ability to connect to peers.
