Without morally judging me (lol) how can I block all uploads/outgoing transmissions in Transmission?

Umm add Transmission to your not safe list under Firewall or don't launch the program?

The lowest it will go is 5kb/s. There is no zero.

It's not to do with morality, but your torrent software will need to upload (even a little) for your torrents to run at full speed. You see your Transmission needs to share with other people on the internet which parts it has, and request new parts of a file.

Set it to something low (5-10kbps normally works ok). This is just my very basic understanding from what i've experienced in the past (I have to steal work internet as my flat has none :( ).

However when you get the chance you should try upload a little, if your throttle it, to half your internets ability, you will very rarely notice any speed decrease, even when gaming.
