    is anyone experiencing similiar? i'm only getting about 20kilobytes/s at times. i'm on the 30meg package which should have "up to" 3 meg up and i have been able to get that on some other services.

    thanks

    Right click on the tray icon -> preferences -> network -> untick the automatically choose best download rate and make sure both ul and dl are set to 0

    previous advice helped before but not any more.

    i was getting 500-1000KBs last night. i left a lot of stuff uploading. now im getting about 40KBs speeds. ive played around with all the settings etc without success. ive rebooted the pc without success.

    is anyone else getting these speeds today?

    Are you using OpenDNS or Google DNS? Often, because these services are based far away e.g. USA whereas dropbox would give you an european access point if you're using your regular upc dns. The distance would affect upload speed.
