tasso85 Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 hi! well, this is not a real problem, just a question...I've noticed a strange thing while downloading some files using utorrent: I used to set the UL limit to 30kB/s (which is 80% of my max upload speed) and I was downloading those files at about 75kB/s, then i lowered the UL limit to 20kB/s (I had to send a big big email) and i noticed the my DL speed went up to more than 110kB/s (that is, 50% more!!!)...so I tried to reset it to 30kB/s and the DL speed returned at 75-80kB/s, and re-lowering it to 20kB/s made my DL return to 110kB/s...now, since I have an ADSL 2mb connection, shouldn't the upload and download stream be separate, so that changing the use of the upload stream doesn't alter how much of the download stream I use?thanks.

Switeck Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 You probably don't have a 2 megabits/sec UPLOAD connection.As you near max upload speed, download speed cannot maintain as high because even downloads have to be told to continue via small packets sent out via your upload.

tasso85 Posted November 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 yes, in fact I have 2mbit DOWNLOAD connection and 384kbit of upload stream... but still, I had limited it to 30kB/s, leaving 14kB/s of open upstream band... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Did you try the xx/384k settings in Speed Guide (CTRL+G) as the base settings for values other than upload speed?If you have to many or too few connections and upload slots...download speed can suffer immensely.

tasso85 Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 sorry, it wasn't 384kb/s, it is 352 instead... anyway, no, I didn't try it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
