you mean uTP, right? The default transport protocol for bittorrent.

you can disable it in the settings, to force using TCP. i.e. disable
incoming and outgoing uTP and enable TCP.

   http://libtorrent.org/reference-Settings.html#enable_outgoing_utp

even I have set libtorrent to prefer tcp:
settings.set_int(settings_pack::mixed_mode_algorithm,
> settings_pack::prefer_tcp);

prefer_tcp affects the congestion control for mixing TCP and uTP (as the
documentation states).

i2p is unrelated to all of the above, other than I believe it always runs
over TCP. But that's a separate setting.
