what should i set my upload rate at? when i was downloading (it was my first file download) my download rate was ranging in the 3kb to 5kb area. is that normal?

Set it to around 80% of your total upload speed.

For example, if your maximum upload speed is 28Kbps, set it at 23Kbps.


Your slow download rate may have been due to a different factor, such as a poorly seeded torrent, but if you limit your upload rate as I described, then your download speeds will not be affected by uploading.

Are you on dialup or broadband?
