Re: Upload vs Download
Sorry if it seems like I'm hijacking this thread, but it seems a good place to ask this.
I am no expert in p2p stuff, and I am downloading a file (torrent) using shareaza. It is only downloading anywhere between 10 and 100 kb/s and the total uploads on the figures given is about 120kb/s.
Web browsing from my other computer is almost impossible whilst this is on, with speed test results of as low as 9kb/s,(yes kb not KB!) which even when added to the download already taking place, is only a small percentage of my theoretical maximum. I am on 2Mb.
Does anyone know why this is or how I can improve it? I have tried shareaza help pages, but cant find any thing there or in the settings about reducing uploads for torrents, which this thread indicates may help. My current speeds below, a little quicker than last night, but not great.
Thanks.
