one of the features of DOCSIS 2.0 is an increase in the available
upload bandwidth, but I don't know of any cable HSI providers who
have yet done the major upgrade of their systems needed to support
that.
Shaw Cable in Canada provides Extreme Internet in a few of the major
cities using Docsis modems. This increases downloads by approx 2MB/s
and increases the uploads a tad I believe. Maybe when I get a job,
I'll get it, first month is free!!
I have bad luck w/ Bittorrent. My friends seem to do okay. I got
good speeds on Quake4 demo, but nothing else. I'll seed this FC5
386 DVD to help out others out. I have my uploads set to OC3 speeds
but am only uploading at 20KB/s? I can do 45-50 KB/s on ftp and ssh2
transfers. Any idea of how to improve speeds for uploading?

Yes, I agree, something has changed about Bittorrent in the last year
and it has become much slower -- it isn't the medium of choice any
longer. I used to be able to download a DVD in about 10 hours on
Bittorrent. The Fedora Core 5 x86_64 DVD took close to 48 hours to
download by contrast. I started downloading the i386 DVD on Bittorrent
as well, and several hours later I'm not even 10% complete on that with
speeds in the 17-18 Kbps range on a DSL link I know can go over 90. I
think I can probably do better with wget or rsync.
