just curious, do you limit your upload speed?

i downloaded alot of stuff off bitcomet (top gear 5th gear, some movies) and now I have nothing else to d/l. now I don't mind leaving it on for others, but should I keep it down to certain level before my ISP complains? my upload rate is now 60k.

I limit my upload rate to 10k.. my ISP caps it around 15k (lousy bastards).. Ya, takes a while to download.. but I don't mind. I usually manage to still get at least a .5 share ratio, though.

I only limit if I have a reason to (ie: I'm trying to do something, like play an game online).
Other than that I don't bother.

I limit my upload to 80% of my cap from my ISP. Anything more and it gets too saturated.

i have to limit to 10k, and even then my isp caps people left and right....cablevision sucks.

I limit my upload in Azureus, but just because there are two other users on my connection and web pages get really, really slow if I saturate the upstream bandwidth.

i set the limit to about 8KB/s below my limit (48KB/s) so that I have enough headroom for web browsing and my own downloading. I think 40 KB/s upload is pretty resonable, and I always share back at least 1/1 ratio.

my limit is around 40-50 so I set it to 30 and usually run till I get a share ratio of 1.5+

depends on your isp, if they don't care, keep sharing.

Isn't the reality of the situation that the average user is paying for upload? I mean download speeds are what 40x higher than upload because it is cheap.? If this is the fact, I amn't getting what I pay for as I don't upload anything.
