I only have 28K max upload. Download is always relative to upload. I asume that if I were able to get higher upload, download would be higher as well.
However if I use anything higher (40K being the theoretical max) speed goes down.
If you set the upload speed at maximum, you get in fact lower download speed because you can not send your ACKs fast enough. You have got to lower it a bit.
Also, about your comment about bittorrent being slow sometimes, its because it is a "collaborative" server. It is only fast when there are many people collaborating (and seeding as they go). So, it takes some time before it gathers speed, and once the big wave passes, it will slow again.
The problem I have with it is that it invariably crashes my ADSL router after a few hours.
may be you have not a fixed IP? and an other problem is that as soone they have downloaded, people start installing and this shut down the seed :-( jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos
