You should set your connection to T1 DL unlimited UL 51 if you have a true 512kbs UL capability. Now here comes the tricky part. You have to remember that when you DL. The number of files you are downloading the number of Kb/s you are DL and the number of host at all affect your UL speed setting.

If you are DL at 800Kb/s you have to remember that every person you are connected to sends a piece of the file and LimeWire has to tell that computer and the others that it has received it and which piece it needs. The more files you are DL and more people you are DL from the more bandwidth needed to preform the task.

From the testing I have done I have found that if you are doing heavy DL lets say 6 files DL from 70 people at 800Kb/s then you need to multiply the number of host by .35 and subtract this number from your Max UL speed. 70 X .35 = 24.5 so in this scenario your UL should be( UL Bandwidth 512/8=64Kb/s-24.5Kb/s=39.5Kb/s)

Hope this helps
