slayers Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 lemoncoke, that is just about the most asked question when it comes to bittorrent. And people get really fed up with that... I'm sure someone could anwer here but I think you would be better off in the gazillions of other sites that have already answered that question in utmost detail. Google FAQ+bittorrent. There are some very well structured guides out there.But not to leave you without and answer, there are so many causes that you have to work your way through them.=> Get rid of connectivity problems (firewalls, routers, ...)=> Get rid of speed brakes (ISP throtling, WinXP 1/2 open limit, upstream choking, viruses, ...)=> Get rid of bad torrents (low seeded, unstable tracker, fake tracker, ...)

Olivia Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 I have problem with upload.The speed is is variable. i mean my max is 15kB/s, and it uploading 15for few second and then 2or 4 kB/s.Why?I have Outpost firwall but utorrent is a trusted application and i use a port 8000(the same as Azureus and it upload on max speed).And I disabled DHT network.

Ramrod Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Never, never use your max. line speed (or unlimited) as global maximum upload rate !Always let a few kB/s room for download activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmodai Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Is max upload data only or data+protocol overhead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
