upload speed

[nicksmeeth]

could anyone tell me about upload speeds?
when i download i get good speeds 100 kb/s+ but if i am uploading to others the speeds are a bit slower 10-15kb/s max.is that ok because other users will also add to that if they are sharing the same file/s.i would like to go faster uploading as then i can shutdown when people have finished quicker and just because i like everyone to use lw to the best it can.many thanks for any advice

It depends on your connection speed. Do a google on "speed test" there a lot of sites to try, do a couple at different times to get a good feel of both upload and download speed. No matter what your ISP claims your speed is you need to check it. Check your upload limit setting(tool-options-uploads-basic). Read the stickys and search the forums. You will have at least an hours reading but you will find a lot of useful information. Assuming you have 3meg cable with 256kup your numbers look ok to me.

You might do better checking in the upload/dowload problems section of the forum.

The forum is screwy today. It took me several tries to post this.
