Hiya
I have been using bittorent for a while. Whilst at first I would upload at 30k and download upto 80k.
But all of a sudden I could not get better then 28k download and 30k upload no matter how many seeds there are.
Tonight I decided to download the GUI bittorent where you can change your upload speed and how many users you upload too!
Now comes the confussing part to me as I was under the impression that the more you allow for upload the faster your download will be!
Yet I get the opposite! The less I allow to upload the better my download is.
For example now I have 13k going up and 100k coming down?? I feel a bit mean about not sharing my full 30k up, but I get realy bad download speeds i.e 30k max normaly 20k down!
Does anyone know why? I want to share more :) But what I will do to counteract it is leave my torrent open for longer after my download has finished at full speed :)
