Bittorent Bandwidth Useage

    I use Azureus. I limited the upload speed so as to not choke my connection. However, it always seems to act as if its sucking up ALL the bandwidth, even when downloading at a massive 5k/s...

    So, does Azureus actually use all that bandwidth or might it be a different problem?

    Depends... depends.... Are you on a Xkb/128kb line? If so, try setting your upload limit to 4Kbs. This worked reasonably well for me with BitComet (which seems to run very similarly to Azureus). The upload chokes your download VERY easily. Even at 4kbs it's a bit.... iffy.

    Alternatively, and I am having great success with this at the moment, try a traffic shaping program. I'm using cFosSpeed. I set my uploads to 12, and it's currently running at 88/12 while I'm browsing at normal speed....

    Oh, and I'm on Eircom's 1mb/128kb package.

    Hmm, maybe I havn't set the upload limit low enough. Thanks.
