How to obtain amazing (raping) upload speeds?

06-23-2006, 03:40 PM

Well, being the leecher I am, I often find myself in a bad situation, having a bad share ratio.
Now usually, I just leave the computer on for weeks and weeks just constantly seeding, but when I have a ratio of say.... 0.3 (boxtorrents 90GB:250GB~), then I would be holding up the internet for a long time indeed.
My cable connection downloads in BT at 800kbps-1mbps, I would think that my upload would be equally impressive.
That is not the case, as my upload speeds in BT rarely go past 40kbps and usually average at 20-25kbps.

Is it a problem with my system/program configuration?
Also, is it perfectly normal for the rest of the network's connections to slow down to a dialup speed or a near halt when seeding at the above speeds? When I seed, literally noone else on the network can use the internet.

I currently use Comcast "High Speed Internet", which advertises something like 6mbit down and 1mbit up; Azureus, when seeding, unlimited UL, 10-50 upload slots per torrent, usually 1-2 torrents seeding at once and none downloading.

unfortunately time is your only soloution. all connections go down faster then up, so say 1 day to dl 10 gig torrent, well good week or so to up that 10 gigs+ back.

how comes i'm the only person who uploads faster then they download? I'm normaly uploading 50mps per secound while downloading about 12, max of 26.

you have a very backwards connection :P

my download is 600k/s, yet my upload is maxed at 65k/s on a good day. (thats not being able to surf net uploading speed)

Please note that Bittorrent measure bandwidth in kiloBytes, not kiloBits. 1 kiloByte = 8 kiloBits

Actual speed is always lower than advertised. Check yours:

Get Event ID 4226 patch. The more half open TCP connections, the better.

How does my connection scale to yours?
Download Speed: 4729 kbps (591.1 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 248 kbps (31 KB/sec transfer rate)
Any good?

(My upload makes me cry.)
EDIT:
I checked up on the services offered by Comcast.
Download speed Upload speed Monthly rate
4Mbps 384Kbps $42.95
6Mbps 384Kbps $52.95
8Mbps 768Kbps $62.95

I believe that is what I have, and I'm guessing I can't really improve it much can I?

there are a couple things you can do...

oddly enough, my upstream (20 mbps) far outstrips my downstream which sits at like 5 mbps.

uhm, there are 2 things I can think of ... that might help your upload speed.
1) if you're sitting behind a router, then you should open some ports for the BTT program
2) go to dslreports.com (i think it is) and they have a program there that "tweaks" your upstream capabilities.

but then again, that 5, 20 mbps transfer speed was mostly made possible by a campus connection

not sure what the speed is now that I'm on wireless and lose a whole lotta packets to the air!

well i cant do a test atm cause of seeding and running a dc hub. but my down is 600k/s and up is 65k/s. my package is a 5mbit package. there is a 7, but no more up, so its not worth it. since we have phone and dsl tv, and interent, and longdistance, and cell phones all through 1 company, the net is like 40 bux a month.

Heh, well, looks like I will be changing ISPs in a few weeks.
FiOS 15 Mbps Down/2 Mbps Up.
