boykicksgirl Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Hi, I'm not exactly an expert with torrents, so I figured I'd ask a question. I've followed the speed guide to a t, and I've forwarded my ports, turned off game mode on my router, and run the gamut of instructions on the forum. Now, when I check my upload rate, I usually get around 700ish kbps. So naturally, the speed guide tells me to set my upload rate to about 70 kBps. When I fire up uTorrent, the upload speed climbs to the limit I set, and the download climbs up. However, after a minute or two, my upload speed plummets to around 40-35 kBps, and as such, my download suffers (going from 200-100ish to around 50 kBps). I've set uTorrent to use more upload slots if my upload rate is less than 90% of the max also. I've also noticed that I generally get better, more consistent speeds by just having my upload rate cappped to around 40-35 kBps.Can anyone tell my why I can't upload faster, despite my connection being capable of it? My ISP is Comcast, so could their powerboost functionality be giving me an incorrect speed when I test my upload? Or does that only work with downloads?

Switeck Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 It probably is ComCast's speedburst affecting your upload speed test.Your average upload bandwidth limit is probably only 384 kilobits/sec...so use the xx/384k setting in Speed Guide (CTRL+G).
