My speed??

Ratio has no direct effect on your speeds and it has NO long-term memory!

Peers upload more to you based on how much you upload to them RELATIVE to how much they are getting from OTHER peers at the same time.

So uploading at max speed to 1 peer at a time may get back a lot from 1 peer...but one peer may only be willing to give you ~25 KB/sec.

Uploading to very many peers (like 50+) will get you ignored (even snubbed!) by pretty much all of them, because you'll be uploading too slowly to them to "beat" or even "tie" other peers.

Uploading very slowly will also get you ignored+snubbed by peers.

The best results come from giving out about 5 KB/sec PER upload slot. (1 upload slot = uploading to 1 peer.) Do keep in mind that EACH active torrent may have its own set of upload slots!

So if you upload at 50 KB/sec, that gives 10 total upload slots to be split between *ALL* your active torrents. Sometimes if you're on very busy torrents or very slow torrents, you might want slightly more or fewer upload slots.
