upload/download problem

[gatts]

i recieved the new samsung box this morning and i noticed that my torrent files are downloading/uploading slower than usual so i used the broadband speed test here: http://www.adslguide.org.uk/tools/speedtest.asp and got this result

Downstream 869 Kbps (108.6 KB/sec) 938 Kbps (inc. overheads)Upstream 239 Kbps (29.9 KB/sec) 258 Kbps (inc. overheads)


this is only a little slower than i am used to but the speeds seem to decrease a lot when i upload/download at the same time like some adsl providers do is there any way i can check this? i never had a problem like this with the pace box

I too have thought that my Samsung box handled P2P stuff less reliably than the old PACE box. However this I in part have also thought may be a conflict with the router, and a poor signal quality to the house to boot. What else explains a need to reboot the STB and D-Link 804V router every day or perhaps more.

I've given up on P2P stuff for the time being and decided to save dosh downgrading to the faster 300 speed. P2P didn't want to work at that well at all" Shareezaa". What software are you using?

Make sure that whatever configuration you are using cannot saturate your upload bandwidth. If it does you download will slow since your download packets cannot be acknowledged so the sender computer cannot verify properly and it all grinds to a halt.
