    there is a 3GB file that has more than 10.000 leachers, the demand is huge, the average download speeds only some 20Kb/sec; I have the file on my HDD and I have put it on disposal.

    I gave enabled 100MB/sec upload in the Bit Torrent, many upload slots,...

    However, the network is asking my PC only for 20Kb/sec; there are not more than 3-4 peers asking my file...

    upload speed depends on your ISP, Download speed is norm a lot faster then up (and some ISPs traffic shape p2p makes it bit unusable on some ISPs) 20-40kb/s upload is about avg for the uk (for ADSL that is)

    Yah, your download should be alot more than your upload. For example I have a 6mb/s download speed but only a .5mb/s upload speed.

    (your network speed to your PC conencted to the router is not the speed of your Internet, as i am guessing you got 100mb/s speeds from your network adapter, unless you live where GOD does and you have 100mb/s down :) )

    +rep.

    LAN speed != Internet speeds.

    Set your torrent upload to be ~80% of your maximum available download to ensure good ping and protocol traffic for your download too (otherwise the connection gets choked up and download suffers).

    The big problem with torrents is folks not seeding back - that way you can connect to 200 peers and only see 30-40Kb/s download (or less)... It's only when you join a BT community which monitors share ratios that you realise how good BT can be. :thumb:

    A great example is Demonoid (when it's up and running anyway).

    I'm not downloading.
    I'm just uploading (making available).

    In the bandwidth settings of the Bit-Torrent program I have unchecked automatic, typed a 150 kb/sec upload limit (a fraction of my real-tested upload bandwidth) and put 10 upload slots per torrent.
    I think there is something wrong with the computer managing the torrent; it request only 10kb/sec from this high demand torrent, another just added (made available by me as a seeder) torrent (that users report as fast in download) is getting till 20kb/sec upload.

    Uhhh. What? Demonoid doesn't ban people for low ratios. And the ratio tracker doesn't even work, anyway.

    They don't ban people but it's still recommended that you upload too. And the tracker works as long as you count only the torrents from Demonoid; all the external ones are excluded.

    you need to give us info

    what is your ISP is the most important as some traffic shape and what do think your are getting speed wise or paying for, if you log onto the router or your modem it tell you What your download speed is and upload speed is , we need this info

    if your on ADSL its very likely you get 288 upload {down 2mb} (that is around 20-29Kb/s upload on ADSL it more like 22KB/s) or 488 upload / up to 8mb down, if upload is more then 488 your on up to 20mb service (upload and download will get best rate on 20mb)

    if your on cable then read this (no point typing it out) http://allyours.virginmedia.com/html/internet/traffic.html

    KB and kb is not the same thing (divide kb/s by 8 and that give you approx upload speed that is if your modem reports in kbs)

    You're right; I was using a kilobyte instead of kilobit-Kbit.

    You cleared the things. Rep++

    However it's the coordination; putting more programs on disposal has elevated the upload far beyond 30 Kbit/s.

    you want to cap to 21KB/s when you want to use your Internet as it can make web sites go an little slow (most likely why it picked 20KB/s upload when on auto)
