On a dial-up service you can't really afford to allow unlimited speed or slots for uploads! Whilst people uploading from you WILL help you connect & find sources for searches, the way you may have it set possibly allows too much of your bandwidth to be used. I'm a dial-up user myself & have just a couple of slots & keep a limited upload speed. It's a sacrifice dialup users sometimes have to make. Just as a trial, reduce your upload slots to one & limit the speed. I think that will make a dramatic difference. If so, you can then decide how much more you can afford to allow to give back for uploaders in regards to slots & speed. Hope this helps.
