As some wise dude once told Torrents have a right to live too B)

Awwwww, shucks :">

That 'dialup trick' seems to be rather random for me.
I haven't seen any direct correlation between setting that and getting higher download speeds.

same here, i got 3 d/ls goin last night w/ 3 diff connection (dialup,fast cable, and t-1) and none really got anywhere

I think the point they're trying to make is that if you max out your upload bandwidth to somewhere other than what you're d/l from, it'll throttle your download because not enough information is being sent to that ip.
So changing the upload parameter on the client doesn't really do much unless you have several running at the same time. I know that if my u/l speed passes 20kB/s (1.5mb ADSL) I can't even surf, cause the pages time out.

lol, dl is proportional to upload, the tracker thinks everyone is the same (it doesnt know what settings u use) the settings are just so 56k users dont have a very slow internet as opposed to a slow one, the tracker thinks everyone is equal in what they can upload and dl, so if u put it on 56k u will upload less, the tracker will see this so your dl will also decrese, u get the best speeds on unlimited.

my firewall slows the upload from 17 to about 13 so i still have some speed for browsing and other things. dont leech

no it works, regardless of what you think, you have to try it/
everytime I get the same results, it always goes faster on dailup/isdn

This also works on PTC and you can just right click the file and select the upload rate. Normally 5kb gives the fastest download rate.

[mooseman2070]

what is PTC?
