Sudden BOOST of speed when unlimiting the Bandwidth? HOW & WHY?

Hello,

It was a pleasure switching to Utorrent after AZ Vuze, i like the interface and low resource it requires and i m liking it a lot.

To get to he point, i use a ADSL 128kbps (16KBps), i have noticed that when i limit my speed lets say to 6KB/s when i browse and then unlimit the bandwidth there is a sudden boost of speed which goes all the way up to 60+KBps and it wonder how this happens, coz according to the calculation the max would / should be 16KBps but the thing is it doesn't say 60, after a while it drops slowly and falls back to 14-15KBps. My question is there a way to keep it up to that speed (60KBps), i am sure there must be a way but its just that i don't know how. It would be nice if someone showed be how i can keep up the speed.

Thanks and hope to see some helpful post, thanks again :)

Your ISP's speed limiting (throttling) method is just a little slow to adapt. You can't KEEP your speed high. Test with uTorrent's max speed (upload? download?) is set to 20 KB/sec and see how well that runs. If it's stable, adjust that number upwards until it's unstable...then reduce back to stable amounts.

Mine does this too I searched for throttling posts, but couldnt find none til now...

here is my post... maybe a moderator can merge it...

As you can see, when i limit dls to really slow, then set to unlimited... they jump up to huge monster speeds...

Theres got to be a way to get around this and take advantage of those high speeds? isnt there?

maybe a setting, or an app/software,

I always thought i could go outside and mess with the cable connection..

because on our cable, the guy comes over, and messes with the cords outside(or maybe a box) when they take off or add pay channels...

so i thought maybe this would work for unlimiting the speed on the cable internet also..

our tv and internet come from the same cable

Messing with the cables would do nothing, except make things worse.

If you have a bad ground or noise on one of the cables disconnecting it might help though...but the only sign of that would be very high packetloss or total disconnects.
