bdub92 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I have been seeding torrents, and my upload speed has not once gone past 50kB/s. I have done the internet speed test, and the results were Download:4000kB/s, and upload: 350kB/s. No matter how many peers i am connected to, and no matter how many torrents i run seeding, i cannot get past 50kB/s upload speed. I have checked the max upload speed(duh) and it's set at 300kB/s.Before i start to get bitched at, I tried every method i could do improve my upload speeds, and nothing seems to be working. I have made sure my port is forwarded correctly, done the TCP/IP system patch to open 50 halfconnections(or some name like that, but i know the number was 50), and i have tried the TCP optimizer. I have Comcast ISP, with a D-Link router(70$, so it shouldnt be shit) and a Motorolla modem. Plz help me!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 The bandwidth speed measurements are almost certainly in kilobits/sec while DOWNLOAD and UPLOAD speed for files are in kiloBYTES/sec. It can take as much as 10 kilobits/sec of bandwidth for every 1 kiloBYTE/sec of download or upload rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdub92 Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 ok, just checked that, and it is kiloBITS per second, is this normal for a cable connection i pay $60 a month for? And does my router interfere with my connection in any way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L337Bunny Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 1 byte = 8 bits350 kbps = 40-50 kb/s usuallyso you are uploading to the limit.As for whether its a good speed, depend on what you are getting. Where I live (Texas) normal cable modem (road runner) advertises for 5 mbps down and 374 kbps up, so that's similar to what you are getting, expect they charge $40 something +tax , so around $50 a month here.Here they do offer a turbo service which advertise to have 10 mbps down and 1 mbps up (what I have), but usually I get about 7-8 mbps and about 800kbps up. That's for $10/month more.anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I cannot upload past 45 KB/sec -- however that's VERY near the limits of my connection. (380 kilobits/sec measured upload bandwidth)My download seldom tops 300 KB/sec and usually only goes just over 100 KB/sec for the torrents I get.This is normal, as the torrents I'm after often have few/no seeds and peers which don't have much either...and are firewalled and on crappy ISPs.
