Bandwidth question

Recommended Posts

Gentlemen:

I have 100 kbits connection speed and I'm downloading at a paltry 20 kbits.

In my mind that should leave 80% of my bandwidth available?

I have nothing! I can barely read email, attachments are out of the question, browsing is incredibly slow.

What happened to the rest of my bandwidth?

Thanks - rev

Yes. When downloading is at say, 20 kbits/sec, all web related functionality goes to hell. Email is really slow, attachments are impossible and browsing is really slow.

So, I pause the downloads when I need to attach a pic or MP3 to an email. But when I restart them, seeds have vanished and my new speed is half, hence my earlier post 'Seeds vanish after reboot', which I still haven't understood or solved.

Onward and upward - I followed one of the tuts about bandwidth issues made all the suggested changes. I ended up with 0.

0 kbits, 0 seeders, 0 peers, and 0 happiness. Of *course* I hadn't writted down all the settings I'd changed...

After MUCH ado, I got back to where I was before I started complaining :)

I'm ready to start again now!
