Tweak needed to Upload to peopl Faster!
 

I just now downloaded a file from a user at 79 kBps. That's not unusual for me to find one person who downloads to me that fast. I, however, NEVER upload to anyone faster than about 15k. Usually at 5 or so. So many people have shared with me that I'd really like to serve up better to give back. I've got a heck of a library of useful stuff for people and I downlod at up to 4 MegaBytes per second. Why is my upload speed so lame? All my lime settings for upload are "unlimited". So, how to people upload to me that fast?

Have you done a speed test for uploads: Choose nearest location for a speed test & only have your browser open: Speed Test Internet Speed Test DSL Speed Test Broadband Speed Test Bandwidth Speed Test (it can be worth trying the test at different locations in any case.)

It could be useful to do a test with a friend, give them a magnet link to one of your shared files, see how fast they can download it. How to use Magnet Links

I can download at over 1.1 MB/s but my upload speed is only about 95 KB/s ... so I try to give them 20-30 KB/s each depending on what files (how large) they are uploading from me.

Thx. Will do.

Back when I used to run Limewire I found that Tweakmaster Pro was quite a useful utility:

TweakMASTER - The Supreme Internet Optimizer

You can give it a try and see if it helps.
