said by xtreme23:i see what your saying but the whole point of paying for 18 or 24 megs is to be able to download fast. maybe ill just deal with it. i would like a fix for this but i get really good speeds nowadays but then the line drops.. something like 10kbs on utorrent and 6mbs on the speedtest so its definitely not just utorrent client.
Well the higher speed will work, As I said I was kind of conservative, maybe a bit more conservatively extreme. You can play with the numbers, it was just a guide point.
maybe a better idea?
I would get a speed test without any devices running or with tv's running and such.
take the speeds you get in kbps and subtract 15-20% off that.
That should keep utorrent tame and allow you to do as much tv watching as you want.
The idea is not to saturate your link causing a drop, you definitely want to keep it in check on the upload, and not cause download drops.
