BrainWalker, Having hi upload bandwidth has no direct correlation with torrent's upload speed. Your total upload bwidth is 800kbps=100kBps, which is really good. You can get decent upload speed using HTTp or FTP, but with torrents it is not higher than 20kB/s. Is that speed for only one torrent uploading? or that's like total upload speed for 4/5 torrent uploading alltogether?
First, check your upload speed @ http://www.dslreports.com . Make sure to turn all internet activities off b4 the test to get most accurate result. If the result is not satisfactory, perform the test 3 times in 3 different time of the day. You will get a real working upload speed. Which will be lower than 800kbps. That's OK unless test shows upload bandwidth is really LOW!
You are suspecting that since ISP is doing some packet sniffing and blocking torrent packets. Try random and higher-port value. 1720 is too risky. Even your ISP blocks torrent packets, that will not affect your upload speed in torrent software. Think, You are uploading a torrent file in packets, your ISP is blocking some of them, preventing delivery to other user. Say, you send 100Pack/sec, ISP blocks 50%, other users are getting 50Packets/Sec. So, effective upload speed is 50packet/sec, but you are still uploading at 100packet/sec. So you should not see the change in speed. But you will see that you have uploaded 200%+ of a file but still no new seeder born, as many packets are lost and you are re-trasnferring them.
If dslreports' speed test shows close to 800kbps upload speed and you are using randomly chosen higher port, then rest is on the people downloading from you. I have seen people downloading from me at 1kbps. It's frustrating. When we download we should not run too many torrent at a time, if we are downloading some torrent where I am the only leecher. As it will take a long time for the seeder. Actually seeder might leave getting irritated by the only SLOW downloader. So, if other users are bz downloading other torrents they are not downloading from you w their best download speed. They are the looser, not you. __________________ Hello, R U CDng? |
