424452 2006-01-26 17:20:00 I believe your download should be set to unlimited or whatever your max downspeed is, and uploads should be set to about 70~80% of that speed. Nyuuji (5460)
424453 2006-01-26 17:34:00 Balance the upload and download speed.If you set the upload to speed to say 100k then you download speed will be around 70kb and wont go up any further.I didn't realise this until i set my upload speed to 1000 kbps.I was then downloading at 900kbps to 1100kbps.

But New zealand isn't this fast.Even if you set it at that speed it doesn't matter.Bit torrent will do its best to provide you with the fastest download

424454 2006-01-26 19:45:00 I limit my uploads to 12 kB/s (not that is kilobytes) .. since the max upload (thanks Telecom) is 16 kB/s.

Read this (azureus.aelitis.com) for further ideas/info.

Don't use the standard ports (although probably every ISP is now got much more advanced traffic shaping). All ISPs will be slowing down your bittorrent downloads to a degree (some are so bad that you'd be better off on a modem).

You have to play around with the settings a bit and even then some torrents are much better than others.
