Upload / download ratio you get ...

[Ian Robinson]

I'm using Vuze , I've set my max upload rate at 5kB/s and my system's upload/download ratio is 25%. I'm now experimenting with a limit on uploads of 1kB/s.

I'm pretty stingie and would rather reduce the amount of uploads to a lot less than that , BigPond counts uploads as downloads (adds them to the download total) ....

What are you other guys using (other than Vuze) and how you have limited the upload rate ?

I am fairly sure that the more upload speed you allow the more preferential is your rating for download speed I think

I assume you mean torrents etc?

TBH mate, if so, your being beyond mean. 1kbs a sec? your as well not even sharing at all ...

i have an 8mb line, with 8000/430 (i know 430kbs is ridiculous) i set my upload to about 30kbs, and that leaves me about 12K up, to carry traffic when browsing, if i am away overnight then i set it to unlimited.

I know Telstra count upload as usage, more fool you for staying with them, seems to me there is one for you fella

correct.

usually, the faster you upload the more your IP address is priorotised for traffic

Yeh I'd heard something like that , ie the higher yoor upload rate the faster the download rate with torrents....

Bigpond are on borrowed time in this household , only signed up with them because they were at the time the best of a bad bunch of ADSL providers available from my exchange .... and all of them only offered bundles and I didn't want to stuff about with a new landline phone provider .... My contract ends in March.

This is no longer case .... I can now get ADSL2+ ONLY and with a much better download limit (100GB/mth , free but shaped if more is used) and a fair bit cheaper than the BigPond ADSL plan I'm on now which I am very dissatified with.
