The plan I am on with my current ISP allows me an unlimited download/upload speed, basically what ever I can hit is what I get lol.. Right now my download speed hits anywhere between 500KBps-1.5MBps, about half of my old provider.. however my old provider maxed out at 125KBps for upload and the one I have now can barely hit 25KBps.. I have a Belkin Wireless N Gigabit router so I know it's not that, I can transfer files between computers over the network at blistering speeds.. Just wondering if there is anything I can do about upload speeds, I'm tempted to call and ask them..

But anyways, thought's, advice, etc all welcome

A couple things, I'm not aware of any ISP that has unlimited ul/dl speeds What they probably mean is unlimited (to a point in most cases) ul/dl volume. You never mentioned what tech it's being serviced over, DSL/Cable/Fiber/Ethernet etc. That can have an impact. Also, WiFi can degrade bittorrent traffic - go wired if you can. Also, check what you're paying for. 3Mb/s, 10Mb/s etc - Note: that's megabits per second not megabytes. They're totally different animals…

Also check with your provider what your upload limit is.  It may be different to your old provider.

Here in the UK it is quite common for a 512kbps upload limit (64KB/s) while my provider offers up to 2.5mbps upload (306KB/s).  They measure speeds in kilobits-per-second, whereas in Torrent applications, we see KiloBytes-per-second.

Also, if this is a DSL connection, your modem may not be synchronising at a high upload.  While my provider offers 2.5mbps upload, my modem syncs at around 900kbps upload.

Hope this makes sense!

If it is just when you are seeding torrents that you are having this problem, it could be one of two things.

• Your settings in uTorrent may need to be adjusted.

• Your isp is "capping" your torrent traffic.

Hope this will help get you started. Good luck.
