Stuck to a certain downloadspeed - why?

[Mquis]

Hello!

I don't have a very bad internet. I download most of my files in 1,5-1,6 mb/s. And that is 99,9% of the time.

I have a 24/1 Adsl internet and get 15/0,8 when I test it over internet.

I mostly download my stuff from private websites over the internet (the demand login etc).

Now I wonder why my download ALWAYS is on a steady 1,6 mb/s. Is there some type of configure that has to be made?

Right now I am not sitting on a router.

Thank you!

'Cause that's probably the practical maximum you're gonna get due to overhead and so on.

How many times faster than your upload is that?

[Mquis]

Around 12-16 times faster than my upload. My I cant get my upload fast either :/

Can uTorrent maintain an upload speed of at least 100 KiloBYTES/second?

(It should if your max upload is 1 megabit/second.)

[Mquis]

So how should I work out this problem?

[Firon]

Get a faster connection. You're basically near the connection limits (taking in overhead from BT/TCP).

[Mquis]

But faster connection for me would be digging youre own cable which isn't really cheap. So there is no other way?

This is very confusing .. Administrator say s 300kb/s is ok But this guy download's most of he's files in 1,5-1,6 mb/s and i have a better cannection ... Cable 10mb/s down and 900kbt/s

I am not sitting on a router also .. Comme on .... Whatt the hell ... I'm here 4 hr's tring to find out what is the best config. for my cable extreme Is that so hard to ask ..... I was thinking of opaning a server but seem not to reliable as a programe.... Dam !!

Converting Mbit to MByte/sec means divide by 8. Getting 1.5MByte/sec is the same as 12 Mbit/sec, which is close to maximum. Considering the 12:1 ratio on upload, I'd be ELATED if I could download that much faster than upload on my line.

To answer your question, in uTorrent, Ctrl-G and select the CLOSEST WITHOUT GOING OVER your connection's rated UPLOAD speed.
