CabMax Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Hello I am configuring my u torrent upload speed for the first time. I have read and followed the utorrent connection setup guide and found out that my download speed is 5.9 Mbs and upload of 0.5 Mbs. When I open u torrent page to setup my upload speed I get xx/2Mbit which shows an upload speed of 186kB/s which I think is too low or xx/10Mbit which is 1.0 MB/s and again a speed which is higher than my upload speed. I need some help as I dont know which one to choose or if there is another way to setup my upload speed. Thanking you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Both your guesses are wrong.You need xx/512k (512 kilobit/second upload settings)...2nd link of my signature for alternate settings.If you only have 512 kilobit/second upload...your theoretical max upload speed is only 64 KiloBYTES/second -- and probably your real usable upload speed in uTorrent may only be 50-60 KiloBYTES/second.

CabMax Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 thanx for clearing this out I thought because the upload speed was bps so the storrent should reflect that not realising that it worked in bytes and not in bits. thanx again. One more thing I have seen that the upload speed changes several times during the day sometimes going as high as 0.5mbps to as low as 0.1mbps. Do I have to change the speed settings on utorrent window when this happens. thank u. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 If you know how/when it varies, you could use Scheduler or manually raise/lower upload speed at those times. Do note that you may need to reduce upload slots and/or active torrents as well if you go from >40 KB/sec upload speed to barely 10 KB/sec...otherwise other people see your upload speed to them drop to well below 1 KB/sec, and those peers quit sharing back to you!
