[minendo]

Minendo, are you on a school connection? That upload rate is insane...

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

Use Personal Torrent Collector and you won't have that problem.

 

[PoPPeR]

I'm a greedy mofo and set my upload rates to 5k max.

 

[Kenazo]

i wish i had your connections. I can only upload at 40 KB/s. it's not that i'm skimping, it's just that my DSL sucks!
oh well.

Learn about BT and you won't have an ignorance problem.

no problems with proportions here. I always down more than I up (no cap, either). I use Azureus, BTW.

Might depend on what you're trying to get. TV eps that are real popular (ie. 24) you always end up on top.

Or listen to or watch, I get saved a bit because someone inevitable shuts off my machine without asking. I lock it now but they just power the damn thing off. In-laws must die.

During the day when my ISP is bitchy, I have a few going at dialup/isdn speeds. Up at 5 kB/s, download at ~300 kB/s

I let it max out the upload overnight though (90 kB/s)

(the local cable here is adelphia powerlink, and its terrible)

I realized that when you download stuff that is popular among kids, your download is a lot slower than on stuff that isn't so popular among kiddies. Why? Because they don't get the concept of sharing.

me too.

although, i always check for things with lots of seeds so i get fast downloads. azureus is nice too

 

[BaboonGuy]

is that the leaked HL2? if so, YOU BASTARD!

 

[imported_Phil]

Yes, Half-Life 2 will be 45Mb

 

[FeathersMcGraw]

Of course, if the seeds are all located on slow links, then you might as well devote all your bandwidth to upload, since it's going to be idle capacity anyway.

Can you limit your upload speeds with Azureus?
