BitTorrent question

Alright guys, so I'm new to the whole "BitTorrent" dealio and I'm wondering how I can make my upload speed faster. I was reading thru the other thread where people were trading invites and stuff and saw someone uploading like 900+kB/s which is Godly compared to my current speed of 12 kB/s. It has to do with letting people leech off you if you let them leech of you or some shit like that right? BTW I have a high-end computer with a cable broadband connection. Can any1 help a brotha in n33d? Peace

I can only upload that fast because I'm abusing the hell out of my schools connection. The more people using a torrent the better your chances of maxing out your upload speed are. If you're using a torrent with only a few people then you won't be utilizing your upload potential. Find a popular torrent with more leechers than seeders and then seed it. You could also try a speed test like http://www.speedtest.net. Also make sure your upload speed is set to unlimited as opposed to automatic which will throttle your speed to something that you doesn't ruin your bandwidth.

also try setting the maximum kb/s that someone can upload from you. i usually set mine to 20 or 30 kb/s and my rate shoots way up.

I can download a few things at around 1000k/sec, but I have a 10 mb connection and a brand new quad core. I never could get torrents to go that fast on my old computer, although the connection was the same.

And of course your upload speed is limited to whatever service you're paying for. For example if you have a 6 Mbps/512 Kbps line then you can upload about 55 kb/s max. And to the guy above: your download or upload speed has nothing to do with the specs of your computer.

Hey guys when I did the speed test it told me "Warning: ISP upload compression was detected. Your upload speeds may be inaccurate." What do you guys think?
DL Speed: 4030 kB/s Upload Speed:107 kB/s Latency: 333 ms
Oh and I'm using uTorrent BTW, peace

Your upload speed is very low which is strange because your download speed is alright.

In uTorrent: Options-Prefrences-Connection. You'll see it.
