yes i know about the speed guide and thank you what i am asking is when i get shaped to dail-up speed should i put my speed down compare to my normal speed of 140/30 to say 12/6

you set the values according to your actual uploadspeed!

So if your UL speed is set (why so ever) to the lower value that is then the right one to set in teh CTRL+G thingy.

Also, to avoid being shaped due to going over monthly bandwidth limits, don't get really close to upload speed max.

So if your normal upload max is 30 KB/sec, only set upload speed to 20 KB/sec while downloading and 25 KB/sec while seeding.

Otherwise, the moments when upload speeds spike, the overloads are dropped by your ISP...but probably still counted against your monthly limit!
