Thx Peerless, Morgwen....now that i've got these numbers, i took Mursanames advice from her sticky on configuring, and set my uploads bandwith to 11KBS. i am seeing fast download speeds.

My question now is , will anybody be able to see/upload my files with such a low setting? mursanames advice was to take 5 from my total (16KBs) coming to the 11KBs, which barely even registers on the upload bandwidth setting.

any ideas?...and thanks again to all
