Fis0893@cup.edu Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 I am using windows vista cpu with 2 gig of ram i have a cable modem through comcast. we are paying for the 100X faster than dial up speed and my test download speed 6436 Kb/s and upload speed is 615 Kb/s why is my upload speed so much slower than my download speed. also when i am actually trying to download my download speed started out awesome it went up to 976kB/s then dropped down to a measly 35-47 kB/s all numbers are typed exactly how they appear on the screen. I have the encryption set up. i have utorrent set up as an exception, i also have a green light saying accepting incoming connections your connection is working like it should. I have the speed setting on 10Mb/s since i average around 6-7Mb/s when i run my speed tests. Why is it not letting me download to the fullest of its capabilities. 35-47kB/s is tiny to 5-6 Mb/s what is going on? can anyone help me? my last speed test was D/l 16473 Kb/s=16Mb/s and upload 1646 Kb/s that is 30 times faster than what i actually download at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invy Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 I can answer your first question... it's perfectly normal for your upload speed to be significantly lower than your download speed. That's just the way it is with most residential internet provider services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nos_slived Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 The reason for that: uploading is harder on a network than downloading.http://www.slackware.com/torrents/Download the first torrent. If you get speeds close to your speed test results, your low torrent speeds are completely due to poor peer uploads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
