| 398909 | 2005-10-24 18:17:00 | I've been reading complaints about the "upload speed" of broadband, and I've been wondering exactly what is uploading. The only thing I can think of is sending an e-mail. That certainly is fast enough for me. So why are people complaining about slow upload speeds? |

| 398910 | 2005-10-24 18:27:00 | I think upload in this case, means sending files to someone else, whether its thru some IM program, like MS Messenger, Yahoo, or in IRC. Its the opposite of downloading. Where u download something from a site, from a mate, from IRC, or I spose getting updates for XP, games etc? |

They are usually the ones who complain that a 40 GB cap is too restrictive for them. |

| 398912 | 2005-10-24 19:48:00 | For sending emails the current upload speeds aren't that restrictive, but if you have a website and need to upload large files to the server etc then the faster the upload speed the better. :) | maccrazy (6741) | ||
| 398913 | 2005-10-24 20:05:00 | "Uploading" is where you are "pushing" a file somwhere, such as sending it through MSN, sending it to an FTP server. If you have a file sitting on a web-server and somebody "downloads" it from you, then you are "hosting" a file. "Upload speeds" are the speeds at which you can upload/send data. The term is used lightly thou, and usually means "sending of data". Just for the record Safari, I do 60GB roughly per month, yet still manage to spend 2-3 hours per night out and about after work. Please dont be so general next time :) |

| 398914 | 2005-10-24 20:48:00 | another case is you are using a p2p download tool. this tool when you use is uploading as the same time downloading. i use Btcomit, it uploads even more than i downlaod. :illogical |

| 398917 | 2005-10-25 07:49:00 | would that be from torrents?? | Prescott (11) | ||
| 398918 | 2005-10-25 07:53:00 | hosting a website form home is a good use of uploading and can use a lot of data with out going down the P2P road. | robsonde (120) | ||
