Is there any guides out to help me speed up my downloads and slow my uploads as my u/l are three times higher than my d/l?

i left it at the settings for dialup/isdn and ran netlimiter with it..are you using netlimiter yet?


"oh and theres about ten peers and three or more seeds "
seems like you dont have many ppl sharing the file...and maybe not many have a fast connection...who knows for sure....

A v.90 56k connection is AT MAX THEORETICAL SPEED capable of only 53 kilobits/sec download and 33.6 kilobits/sec upload.

But you won't get max theoretical speeds... you'll probably connect at 40-50 kilobits/sec DOWNLOAD and upload is probably hovering around 20-30 kilobits/sec.

However, you can't just divide by 8 to get KiloBYTES/sec (KB/sec for short)! There's lots of networking overheads, which means even at 50 kilobits/sec download bandwidth you can only download around 5-5.5 KB/sec.

more like 2-3 KB/s :D
none-the-less, us slow internet-connection guys are also human. If you gouge out our eyes with a hot iron rod do we not scream out in pain? If you gouge out n&#39;sync&#39;s eyes do we also laugh out with joy?

toonmental: If you&#39;re after big files forget about bittorrent. Choose something like shereaza or kazaa lite K++. Put the file on downlad and sit-back and relax, you&#39;ll get it eventually (in a month or so) <_<

set uploads to 1k..rather obvious i thought....your 700mb files will be completed in 40hrs at best.....the longest mines every taken on bt is 10days...and of course if you leave it dloading while your not at the pc start up a few dloads at once to make sure you are using your full bandwidth(whoohoo 5k)...also make sure you open your firewall to the bt ports...6881-6999..

bittorrent was mostly made for broadband. 56k just slows the speeds down
