MrKirnkle Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 hello, Im not quite sure why, but, i cant upload at a very high rate? when i DL a file, i usually have the file uploading simotaneously at a fair rate, but when i upload my own torrent files the peers downloading them are maxed at 14KB/s(all together). What makes it bad is the files i upload are usually around 1.5g? anyone have any suggestions on why this is or how i can increase my UL speed. i have done speed tests ect... thanks for your time.

dawin45 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 because youre ISP is limiting the upload speed... I myself can't upload over 30 kilobites per second... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 If you could tell us what your tested upload speed was, and your observed upload, we might be able to offer additional advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrKirnkle Posted November 18, 2006 Author Share Posted November 18, 2006 If you could tell us what your tested upload speed was, and your observed upload, we might be able to offer additional advice. my speedtest was 186kb/s, and my average upload speed is 12 kb/s(seeded torrents) thanks for the help.

dawin45 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 wel let's see, not all leachers have a good downloading speed, that could match youre uploading speed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is about normal. Your upload rate tests at 186kb/s (measured in "bits") and your observed upload is 12kB/s (measured in Bytes) which is equal to 96kb/s. you will never be able to use all of your upload to send data, but with the optimal settings, you might be able to do a bit better then 12. With a gross max of 23kB/s, you should set your global max uplad to about 17kB/s. I would disable dht, and fully go through our settings guide. I expect you should see upload rates approaching your max of 17. Suspect ps. I would also recommend only running one torrent at a time, as your bandwidth is limited, and won't support running multiple torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kluelos Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Your broadband connection is, like almost all of them except for the very expensive ones, asymmetrical: your downstream bandwidth is much, much higher than your upstream bandwidth. This is fine for most people, because they have far more activity in the downstream direction than upstream. Bittorrent was created, in part, because of this. It's a way to share a file without putting an enormous and insupportable burden on the server, or they typical broadband user. But it does mean that your uploads will be much slower than your downloads, and that it takes a while at seeding, for your ratio to recover. It's normal, and nothing that anyone can do much about.

MrKirnkle Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 think i kinda semi figured it out, it seems the more peers that download it from me, the faster my upload rate goes, now w/ 6 peers im UL'ing at 50-60kb/s thanks for all the help, i just gotta upload stuff people want...
