Speed up seeding?

[Koila]

HI,

I was wondering how can one speed up seeding. I do like to seed but most times it does take forever, for instance

I torrented a file that was 23 mb in 6 minutes. Fantastic.

I've been seeding now for 6 hours and 44 minute and it has only seeded .087

(point zero eight seven)

I'm sure there must be something wrong.

Thanks in advance!

What kind of downloading are you doing in the meantime? Have you changed anything related to the Setup Guide recently? Did you know you can setup alternate seeding limits when not downloading under Ctrl-P -> Connection?

I'd also bet you are on an ISP which actively kills seeding.

No and no downloading,

I didn't know I could change the alternative speeding limits when not downloading, I went in and changed that to max.

Thanks!

Is there anything I can do about the ISP?

Thanks!

Has that changed your speed graph for upload-only at all? Changing scale to 5 minutes allows you to see up to 10 hours worth of data (only for the current session).

Not for the one that had been "seeding" - it is like it froze.

I left it over night and it was still the same this morning. (.087)

I started a new one last night, it downloaded, and seeded at the higher speed and had almost reached the 1.5 seeding point as of checking this morning.

Well, possibly no-one wants that particular torrent? Do you even have any peers connected to and downloading that torrent from you?

BTW, while downloading, your upload should never be at max but at most 80% of your rated max. While not downloading/surfing etc. however, feel free to max it out using that alternate speed setting.

There were three peers.

Thanks for the extra advice, I appreciate it.
