chopficaro Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 yo i was sharing a particular file today and it was extremely important that it completed as soon as possible. this particular file. was sharing for the past three days with an up of about 45 and a down of about 35. so shrunk the maximum up from 400kb/s to 4kb/s. the up flatlined at 4kb/s and the down flatlined at about 20kb/s.so i fiddled with it some morei set the up limit to eight and it flatlined at 8. but the down suddenly shot up to 600kb/s and went up and down like crazy. it went from 50% to 100% done in no time.WTF???i like sharing as much as i can, but I'm not going to do it at such a high cost to my own pursuits.i have comcast cable if that has anything to do with it.

Switeck Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 You shouldn't set upload max higher than about 40 KiloBYTES/sec, as that's as fast as your line can sustain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 That's Comcast's powerboost, which only works for a few seconds.Your REAL, sustained upload limit is 40kb/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
