syntheticexctasy Posted August 4, 2005 CID Share Posted August 4, 2005 Is it just me, or has anyone else had this problem? when you are uploading more via comcast, your download speeds plummet ridiculously. i have had this problem ever since ive used comcast, in two different locations, in the last five years. for instance, just today i was downloading a rather large torrent, and i was wondering why my download speed was only 130-160kb/s, but then i noticed that the upload speed was 90kb/s, so when i limit the upload to about 10-15kb/s, my download speed is fine.

organ_shifter Posted August 4, 2005 CID Share Posted August 4, 2005 All cable connections do that. You need to set your upload to around 75-80% of it's total ability. That's the sweet spot when downloading. Afterwards, you can max it out. I don't know anyone on cable that doesn't have that problem. Too much upload will result in slow downloads.
