How fast should my upload be with a 640 kb/s connection not being throttled?

Thx 4 ur time...:)

640kb/s = 80kB/s
so set upload rate to about 65kB/s (about 80% of ur available upload)

You have a maximum upstream bandwidth of - i assume - 640kbit/s which means theoretical transfer rates of 80kb/s. Taking into account some overhead you should manage to upload between 65 and 70kb/s on average.

if you have seen this on speed test 640 kb/s then in your client max upload will be 65-70kB/s

divide by 10, add 10%.

The recommended value as stated above is 80% of your maximum upload speed.
If you know your max upload speed is in bits, just divide it exactly by 10 to get to the recommended speed in bytes.

80kb

but isnt it true that windows pro will reserve a certain amount of ur bandwidth

No, that has been round so many times and debunked just as equally often.

gr8 speed

Thanks everyone, 4 ur time....I finally bypassed my isp throttle. I am getting 50kb/s plus uploads....YAY!

my upload is 40kbs is this to low? my speed is 2400/635

maybe one could add:

use the reduced settings only when you work with your computer or dl.

when you are just seeding you can give full speed.

that's at least how i do it.

To calculate the real speed you have to divide by 8.
