Maybe you are bound by not reducing the upload rate to 80% of your line capacity?
I've fiddled with that in the ktorrent config drop down menu - set it to something like 20kbps max, which on a 2mbit adsl connection (which is supposed to be theoretically what per second? I seldom get more than about 170kbps on it) seems like well under 80%...
Unless you are referring the actual download speed? If that is a princely 1.0kbps, then should I limit the upload to o.25kbps? Somehow I can't imagine that being the case...
I've opened the relevant port using YAST, although that didn't make any difference. It was uploading quite well before that, though.
He is talking about capping your _upload_ speed, not your _download_ speed. adsl is usually assymetric and you will have much less upload bandwith then the 2mbit. So you have to limit upload to approx 80% of your available speed in order not to chocke your line. Ciao, Alex
