Thread: Increase upload speed

Okay, so I've arbitrarily managed to see some of the speed tests on here before becoming approved. In a nutshell: holy crap. If I were a man, it would be metaphorical castration right there. However, being a woman, it's just shame. When I get the means (and by that, I obviously mean money), I plan on investing in a seed box. However, until that time, I'm wondering if anyone could give me pointers on optimizing my laptop's upload/download speed (upload being the priority for me, since download is already given priority on my computer). There are certain trackers I want to join, but considering where I am now, I'm not even close to being ready for them.

You can't go past the speeds your ISP is providing you with. So with around 1Mb of upload you should see ~120kB in your torrent client, MAX. You should also consider limiting your upload speed by 10% to keep it as a reserve (some routers will restart when you're too hard with the trafficing). Oh, and getting a seedbox doesn't mean you're getting to use the file any sooner, as you'd have to download it off of the remote server you're controlling .
