webwierdo Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I format my hard drive once or twice a year and did so 3 days ago. I moved utorrents settings to a CD and replaced them so the configuration is the same. Before the format DSLreports.com said I had 5.6 mb/s up and 549 kb/s down. Now I am running 546 kb/s up and 211 kb/s down. All of the drivers are the same and I patched the half open connections. I can't think of anything else that would be different. I waited a few days to see if maybe it was just a bad day but I get around those numbers every time now. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I seriously doubt your connection was capable of uploading at 5.6mbps in the first place, let alone the fact that your down:up speed ratio is entirely opposite of what the usual connection types' speed ratios are...Be sure that you aren't using your connection for any other reason besides testing, while testing. That means no downloading, no IMing, no µTorrent running, no browser activity (other than the testing), etc. Additionally, no other computer on your network (if any) should be using the connection.
