P2P or Torrent

4kb? That's so stingy! I do use the max upload feature of my torrent client but I always set it to 25kb as I always thought that torrents got slower the less you upload?

I have found that as soon as you get to 8kb/s performance starts going down. Also it probably won't make a difference to your download speed. (anyone confirm this?)

Q)I don't want you stealing my bandwidth! How can I stop it from uploading?

 

A)You could hack the source to not upload, but then your download rate would suck. BitTorrent downloaders engage in tit-for-tat with their peers, so leeches have very little success downloading.

 

 

Maybe this changes with clients though, or maybe you should try a higher upload rate Space and see how it affects your download? With an upload of 25k my download speed is normally around 100k on a 1MB connection.

Hey does anyone know of any good programs which stop your isp from being able to see what your programs are downloading?

 

See now thats pushed it a bit too far. Theres no way you're asking that just out of interest. Closing, its been risquee enough anyway.
