Firon Posted April 18, 2006 Report Posted April 18, 2006 Um.. your upload rate is messed up. Close the client and anything transferring, then run it again.

Firon Posted April 18, 2006 Report Posted April 18, 2006 Yeah, stop anything that uses bandwidth and rerun the test. What site are you using?

B2K24 Posted April 18, 2006 Report Posted April 18, 2006 Read the speed guide sticky thread but with such low upload don't expect to much

Sar Posted April 18, 2006 Report Posted April 18, 2006 speed guide Ctrl+G; just pick your setting. you dont need to put anything in the download section
jane Posted April 18, 2006 Author Report Posted April 18, 2006 ok but why check xx/192?...is that cause its the closest to the upload of 133.74 Kb/s ?
jane Posted April 18, 2006 Author Report Posted April 18, 2006 ok...i'll try itthanks for helping every one.....if the highest i can get is 20kp/s because i can't get the green light....then i'll just have to put up with it.....i only really want a couple of things anyway......so i'm not going to stress out about it anymore
