We're getting our big Ks and little ks mixed up here. Your physical download is measured in kilobits not Kilobytes so you have to divide the speed of your connection by 8 to arrive at the speed your client reports. I have 2200Ks download and 256 Ks up giving me a max of 275ks down (never seen but have recorded 225) and 32 up (can get there but 29-30 is normal)
DOWNLOADING IS FUN - SHARING IS SUBLIME

Your upload speed : 99 kbps or 12.4 KB/sec.
Yep, much better, looks like mcafee was choking your connection, try kaspersky personal(not pro) a/v and zonealarm(basic free version) for your firewall(that's what I'm running and it works perfectly), see how that goes and let us know.Originally Posted by darkmatter
