uTorrent 1.8.3 enabled ^_^
I always wondered if enabling encryption on my downloads was smart or not. I turned it on just the other day after looking at a different guide on here. I love the screenshots with highlighted points of interest in the original post / guide here.
Enabling it should be fine. Forcing it is a different deal.

enable is NOT sufficient:
REQUIRED is necessary
forced encryption, no legacy incoming
That will force encryption, even when unnecessary, and will reject all unencrypted connections (which as most modern clients support PE, isn't a big deal). In my opinion, "enabled" is the optimal setting - connections won't be encrypted unless a peer particularly requests so.

I use enabled option!
Too often, we loose sight of life's simple pleasures.Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and bitch-slap that mother!%$@%# upside the head!
I have found that enabling protocol encryption makes no difference to my ISP traffic shaping, I still get throttled heavily during peak times with it enabled, maybe my ISP has wised up to this and knows how to identify the encrypted packets? I can beat the traffic shaping by tunneling through a free VPN service though I still dont get my full bandwidth with this method. Still its better than 10 - 15 KBps they give whilst im being throttled. Anyone else had this problem?
Most of the time, Protocol Encryption only covers the header using a low-grade cypher. The idea isn't preventing others from seeing what you're downloading, only fooling shapers. And eventually the companies that manufacture those found a way to detect BitTorrent traffic, encryption or not. Your best bets are uTorrent set to use uTP only, or Azureus with forced RC4 and no fallbacks.

i have been using utorrent 2.0 with utp, and have found that it works a lot better then tcp with encryption!
