Re: Slow upload speeds on 20meg
 

Right. So it's your uploads through the torrents that appear to be being restricted? Have you checked the settings on your torrent software? It can be limited there. Furthermore, you may be saturating your upload as other torrent users download from you. It may well be that you aren't seeing your connection at its best because other people are making use of it.

When you're experiencing the slow speeds, could you go to the command prompt and type netstat -a ? That will list every active TCP and UDP connection. Approximately how many are there?

Re: Slow upload speeds on 20meg
 

The settings on utorrent i use are i set the speedguide to 20m.bit, set the download and upload to unlimited and that's about it really.

I used to upload at around 700kb/s but now it wont go faster than 70-80kb/s,
and as said before, d/l are at a max of about 500.

Next time i'm downloading i will type in netstat-a and let you know, but i really want to get away from torrents and use newsgroups, apparently they are much better, but have no idea how to start.

Thanks.

Re: Slow upload speeds on 20meg
 

How are you tracking the upload speed? Is this a field you're getting from your torrent client, or is this from a speed test? I'm assuming the former. It could, theoretically, be misreporting.

As for newsgroups, I'd say that google is your friend. Beyond any possible legal implications, I use USENET for conversation. Yous binaries types are sullying the good name of fair NNTP.

Hi, i track the upload speed using speedtest.net, and utorrent.
Thanks, i will look into newsgroups.
