Torrent Upload Limit

What do you do when downloading torrents, in terms of
uploading at the same time?

I usually upload at 30kb/s, but this isn't very much. I
always get much than I give if I do this. If I upload
100kb/s do you think this will slow my download speed down
considerably?

My internet connection is 20MB Virgin Media Broadband.

Theres plenty of tutorials about this. Theres a certain
"sweet spot" for upload limits. Too much or too little and
it effects your download rate.

Wiki or google it.

it depends on your bandwidth really, i only have a 10mb
connection which never outputs as much as it should so i
normaly upload at about 20-25kbs my max upload speed is
about 60kbs

torrents are still a reliable source for older files you
need to get hold of, direct downloads always get deleted or
removed for copyright, so i still use torrents sometimes

I use torrents quite often. Mostly cos the internet on my
laptop doesn't stream videos very well and if I have stuff
on my HDD, I have more control over it and don't have to
mess around with the internet if I want to watch a specific
episode of Curb or something.

Cool, I think 60 sounds good, I will try it. Sounds like
this might be the 'sweet spot' of which chassis speaks. :)
Cheers both of you.

what do you use then?

torrents work remarkably well for movies. takes about 30
minutes to download one.

we are living in the stone age of nets. i can hear people
laughing in the future on their terra-multi pipe net
connection ...they probably so advanced they downloaded and
read all of xlts topics and posts in half a second. we are
like little tiny bits of info to them ...so tiny and small.
