how do determine connection type...

how do you determine connection type from the speed tests?

Here is what my modem start page says:

Down: 1792kbits

Up: 448Kbits

Here is what the speed test says:

Down: 298Kb

Up: 278Kb

I used dslreports.com to test the connection. No other connection to the modem was active at the time of the test

thanks,

Jonathan

Try the 2nd link in my signature and use the settings that go with 448 kilobits/second upload speed.

A speed test to a potentially laggy website can result in lower speeds than you really have.

also where do i put the settings that is at the second link? sorry im still a bit new to this

You want to go into Preferences (from the menu or Ctrl-P in the GUI), then should see "Connection" to enter your max upload; in "BitTorrent" you will see in the connections-per-torrent, global # of connections, and upload slots; and in "Queueing" you will see max # of active / downloading torrents.

Edited for order and clarity from Ctrl-G -> Ctrl-P
