YouveMadeMePerfect Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 hey guys i'm a noob around here and i needed a bit of help. first off, i've used torrents before but not properly. i want to do it right this time since i'm on my own now with my own connection. so, i went here www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ and this is what i got: Last Result:Download Speed: 6027 kbps (753.4 KB/sec transfer rate)Upload Speed: 357 kbps (44.6 KB/sec transfer rate)what i ordered from comcast was 6 down and 3 up so it seems to be correct. now what i need the help with is in the speed guide which do i select? i dont understand the xx\"insert some various number here.". i can tell you my previous speedguide settings before i found out i was doing it wrong were: xx/10MbitLoL it worked good usually so idk... please help me!
Switeck Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 I have Comcast and I have 6 mbps down and 0.35 mbps up.
YouveMadeMePerfect Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Posted November 13, 2006 Ultima, woot thnx! could you tell me the difference, like what it was doing when i had it set to xx/10Mbit and the difference now that i have it set up properly.Switeck, where do you live? that sux man ...sry.
Ultima Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 Eh...? Switeck has the same exact connection as you, what's to be sympathetic about? =oAnd um, xx/10mbit overloads your connection with too high an upload rate and too many concurrent connections.
Switeck Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 I used to have dial-up till 2001, and I've been on the internet since 1995 and BBS's as far back as 1993.First cable I got was 1.5mbps down, .125 mbps up.Because of this, I can manage my current bandwidth quite well. ...And I don't feel "deprived", except a little on the upload side. 100+ KB/sec is generally good enough for me on file-sharing programs, because I'm a vetran of them as far back as the original Napster...and even before with BBS's, mIRC, FTP sites, etc...My settings are more conservative than even the xx/384k as far as connections are concerned...but I set my upload speed to 36 KB/sec while downloading and 42 KB/sec while just seeding. I am often on nearly-dead torrents, so I set my active torrents about 5...because most stagger by at <10 KB/sec each down AND up!
YouveMadeMePerfect Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Posted November 13, 2006 i didn't realize my 3 up was the same as his .35 up =P
Switeck Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 Go back to your original post, you said you had:Download Speed: 6027 kbps (753.4 KB/sec transfer rate)Upload Speed: 357 kbps (44.6 KB/sec transfer rate)That really is only 6 mbps down and ~0.35 mbps up.
