I'm not really a 'downloader' so don't have any well-seeded torrent to download :( Also, I believe one needs to open up some port on the router to increase the torrent speeds. If you have something to be used as a benchmark, though, feel free to email me and I can try it out.

What speeds do you get on well seeded torrents? My speedtests on upload suck, and sometimes download suck too. ISP: LINKdotNET. Might as well call it LINKdontNET :P Hmmm, impressive speeds.

My speedtests on upload suck, and sometimes download suck too.

ISP: LINKdotNET. Might as well call it LINKdontNET :P

I don't understand your question infact... maybe we can chat on some messenger? When you go to the router homepage (for me it is 192.168.1.1) you see something like: Downstream / Upstream (Kbps) 508/509 Is that what you want? I need some caffeine so may have missed your question altogether. Umm… I don’t understand your question infact… maybe we can chat on some messenger?

What I wanted to say is, ptcl has still not upgraded most of their clients, so you have to go get it done yourself if you have the time to spare. :) Adnan, speed.net does show the upgraded results, which were 410kbps when I had 5 messengers and utorrent running… will try it again from linux though, I don’t trust the windows background processes.
