128 kilobits per second, divided by eight, equals 16 kilobytes per second maximum under ideal line conditions (rare).

So, looks like your uploads bandwidth is pretty much where it should be--14KB/s

All you really can do is upgrade your DSL connection or look at cable, which usually offers better upload bandwidth for the same price, if available.

btw--even though others can only get that file at slower speeds, with partial file sharing they may just get the key piece they need to complete the file, and the new code is great at identifying any corrupt portion of the download so the whole file doesn't need to be redownloaded--just the corrupt chunk. Sweet eh? Philippe and others have really helped with this addition ("THEX") to the code.

btw--welcome: glad to see a real sharer posting!
