ill give that a go gradually tonight....but download is proportioanl(sp lol) to upload speed you see :o:

Up to a point, I'm no expert, but subjectively I have found not much difference between download speeds from torrents, when setting relatively slow upload rates.

I found this most noticeable if downloading two torrents at the same time, with the upload throttled to 15KB/s on my 2meg connection. Despite both streams uploading at 7KB/s each, one download could be 10KB/s, while the other might go to 50KB/s.

Seeding is such a pain like that, though :)

best i can get without it dropping the connection is 30kb up and 60kb down...if i make the kb any higher it drops connection almost instantly :(

Looks like you have found a workable configuration, I would set the upload nearer 25KB, myself, but I do a fair amount of browsing, as well as downloading torrents, so I need a certain amount of overhead on the upload :)
