Is there any way to control the upload speed? It's pissing me off that I am uploading at 200kps and only downloading at 100-150kps.

Orchestra 01-12-2004, 08:45 PM Stop being ignorant to the elite and download torrent storm. :cool: emotion eric 01-12-2004, 08:47 PM I have found out how to open ports. Faster speeds. Step 1: Go to your router's configuration by typing your ip address in the address bar... ex: 192.168.2.1 (make sure you dont put http:, www, etc.) *If you dont know your ip go down to the bottom of this tutorial and find out how to view it. Step 2: Find the page that opens your ports (it would usually ask for pass & user, but by default the user/pass should be "admin"), it should look similar to the picture below (different routers have different interfaces). Step 3: Open up the ports from 6881 to 6889 and for public port put "6881-6889" without the "". Step 4: Usually you will have to restart your router so look for an option to do that. *To find your IP address go Start>Run>type "cmd" without the "" and press enter>type "ipconfig" and press enter>The very last IP at the bottom is the one you insert into your address bar. http://www.fantasticsuperclub.com/phorum/files/ports.jpg Lizard Queen 01-12-2004, 08:47 PM Link? My ISP places a cap on uploads and downloads per month... Grrrr. Pleasure|Contempt 01-12-2004, 08:48 PM Don't lower your upload too much, or it kind of defeats the purpose of BitTorrent.

Besides, uploads shouldn't be DOUBLE or even TRIPLE the download rate.

Newer trackers control upload speeds by banning you if you don't maintain an u/d ratio, etc. To try and keep it as fair as possible. If you use any of the BT programs outside of BT itself, you should have a way to limit the up.
