Same results Poor dl speed and High upload speeds Hi Jim, Don't know the specifics of your situation, however you may be hitting a problem caused by upload speeds that are too high. If you saturate your uplink by filling requests by other swarm members, the acknowledgment packets that need to be sent to keep your download humming get delayed and end up reducing your download speed. Bittorrent clients let you rate limit your upload speed to avoid this problem. Setting it to 60% to 80% of the total uplink speed provided to you by your ISP usually gives best results. Sean
