if you allow a maximum speed for uploads, your download speed will increase, and you'll be able to share sooner, so the community will agree ... the default setting for clients like azureus is not optimal. with an adsl connection in france, it works great.
Thanks, Paul! This is a great tip, one I was not aware of. I capped my upload speed at 10Kb/sec, and in minutes my download speed jumped from the low teens to 50Kb/sec. This is much better! Now I don't have to wonder where my DSL speeds disappeared to. This info should be added to the download page, while we're all encouraging people to use BitTorrent. Just have to remember to reset the upload cap when the download is complete. Sincerely, Mike McCallister
