upload Vs Download

[pjvedder]

can someone tell me what a good uploading speed is on a torrent? After finishing a download that has speeds of 400 to 800 kbs it seeds at around 50 kbs....I have cable and I set my upload speed at "no limit" and thats still all I can go:(

Thanks for any help

Yep. And you're lucky that that's the case. Some people have much lower upload speeds!

ISPs sell packages with asymmetrical bandwidth as they deem the normal user not to need very much upload bandwidth and much more download bandwidth.

what Hanz wanted to say is, that your "no limit" upload doesn't depend on you (well, not indirectly), but your ISP :)

mine is about 50kb

[Stasik13]

about 60-70 this is very good but us some one ova me sad 50 is cool 2

[MrEhRz]

yes, the upload speed is depend on your isp, mine here is 10Mbps on docsis 1.1 cable, but my upload speed is only at 1Mbps

[bloodmoney]

totally depends on your isp

[thebazzla]

very true totally depends on you isp the most i have ever got is 50 very frustrating

i got 10Mbit Fiber \o/ :p so i have one equivalent line of Up/Down \o/

I have cable 256 K , can download 32K/S, upload 18 K/S

your upload speed on a torrent also depends on the peers connected to you, as well :)

well then download the torrent in a day and upload it for a week that should fix the speeds issue

Most ISPs sell their internet speed based on the download speed. If you intend to be active in filesharing esp in bittorrents, check the upload speed for that plan. It would be very difficult for you to maintain a good ratio if your upload speed is very low. However, to remedy this, download less and upload longer..

But that connection I suppose isn't from that flag (country) you're using ....

pjvedder, go to a bandwidth test page and run a test. It'll show what your conn is in real life. But be sure to have closed any apps that use it (P2P or download menegers)

my school caps upload at 30k it is the absolute most annoying thing, minus the option of a seedbox (i think that would work) i dont think there is anything i can do about it either. my download on the otherhand is 10mbit

edit: wrong topic

[RoSsoNeRI]

Just divide ur ISP's advertised speed by 8 n u'll get ur real connection speed. E.g. if u have a 10mbit download ur actual download speed should be around 1.2mb/s (10,000/8) n if u have a 1mbit upload then ur upload should be around 125kb/s (1000/8)

hope that helps....
