keeping this short and simple,lets make this really clear, i know how to set up a torrent client.i know the best up/down ratios for my pc and connection.i have used torrent sites most days for the past 7 years.i know what i'm doing.
I get fed up with reading these sort of posts and no one looking at the apps there using.. the technology there using on the line.
With utorrent try setting the upload to 50kb/sec.. try the middle road and see how you get on. Give more you get more.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_(protocol)#Speed !! Read that
Besides if sky was throttling your bittorrent.. changing the software upload settings should make 0, nadda, zilch difference.
*gone again*
on a really good private tracker if you set your torrent upspeed to under 8kbs you get a message pop up in utorrent from the tracker saying bandwidth restricted.when i d/l from the site im on, they restrict it if i have my torrent u/load set under 8kbs,so yes on many public trackers the more you u/load, you meet that tracker's upload criteria and ur d/loads then speed up.
so it does make a big difference when my upload is throttled to 2 kbs - this action forces the torrentleech tracker to limit my d/load speed from them, this is a FACT not made up lies.
so with no option but to now set my utorrent's upload to unlimited, i do get full speed but as soon as i start connecting to other peers my upload bandwidth max's out and my downloads drop back down to 5mb
you really dont have a clue do you.
setting my torrents uploads to 25kbs on skys 20mb is perfect.setting to 50kbs upload is to much and drops my d/loads from 13mb to 10mb.
its not dipped below 13mb in 15 months.nothing my end has changed,nothing on the torrent sites have changed,sky has changed quite a lot recently, they have been busy little beavers
was that simple to understand?????
