Does using cheatengine really boost utorrent download speed?

I saw a way to speed up utorrent with cheatengine. You select utorrent, enable speedhack and set it to 0.1. My download speed went from 90kbps to over 170 kbps and rising! I reached 225 kbps! Is this really making it faster? I think it is because it just shaved 2 hours off of the dl time. If it is real, how is it doing it?
