Hi, I used torrent to get the F7 live CD and DVD images. And then let it run overnight to seed. I've tested my system with the online speed sites and my upload is ~540 KB/sec. My service from Cox says 512 - 2MB/sec. Yet bittorrent-curses maxed out at around 70 KB/sec. I used the max_upload_rate = 0 to let it go at the maximum rate. I tried with the ports open and closed, no difference. Is there something else that would limit the upload speed from bittorrent? I don't mind running torrents overnight as seeds as nothing else is happening anyway. But at these speeds it hardly seems worthwhile.
1. Your ISP (Cox) may be throttling P2P traffic. Try using a port not in the standard 6881-6999 range. Go to Azureus FAQ site for more details if required. 2. Your bittorrent client or firewall is not configured properly.
