harleypete Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hi guys, me againI have got uploads speeds that are 3 or 4 times the amount of the download speed.Someone here said that it might have something to do with the UL - DL speed allocated by the ISP?"Your line may also be a 'rate-adjusted' line that on-the-fly trades upload for download bandwidth and vice-versa. Meaning...if you're uploading fast, you cannot download fast. Or if you're downloading fast you cannot upload fast."I am not very wise in these things, but would like to know if this is the case, is there a way around it?These are all the settings I have got, and I have gone thorugh the setup guide as well.- Colour of the bottom network status GREEN:- Speed checker says: OK! Port XXXXX is open and accepting connections. You will be able to receive incoming BitTorrent connections. - Speed guide settings: Upload limit: 35KB/s Upload slots: 4 Connections per torrent: 80 Connections global: 230 Max active torrents: 3 Max active downloads: 2When I did a speed check here is my average speeds: D/L: 459 - U/L: 312- OS: Windows XP- Security Software: AVG & McAfee Firewall - Router: BT Voyager 2091- ISP: Eclipse (UK)- Connection type: ADSLI do have to say that I am at the end of my exchange, and only can get a "basic" broadband speed.Thats all the info I have got, hope this can help you to help me.

Switeck Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 If that speed test was done while your connection was otherwise idle, then you're likely never going to see download speeds over 50 KiloBYTES/sec...no matter what your upload speed is.

harleypete Posted April 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 I know, that I wont be getting any speeds faster than that, because of the distance between my house and the exchange. But I am talking UL 25 - DL 3 to 4, and if I set the global maximum UL to 30 then i get that as well, but my downloadspeeds will still only touch 5 maybe 6.

kurahashi Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 And what happens if you set upload to, let's say - 10? Speed checks results can be sometimes very deceptive, it won't hurt to test it manually a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demented Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Yeah... sometimes my DL speeds would be 10 or less and UL would be upto 25. Those times, regardless of speed checks, I just limit the upload speeds to 5. Tables are turned, DL's back on track. Day's saved. Give it a shot.

Bad huh? But it may give somebody the idea of how I can get round this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
