I failed to shift to R199 (10GB+10GB) from R299 (10GB+10GB) because I was too lazy at the time to do the admin.

ADSL isn't cheaper alternative cause of land line rental R160(roughly) without any ADSL rental nor adsl account

Uncapped is now R299 with line rental so its definitely cheaper in terms of bang for your buck?

Trying to use up my midnight surfer data. Torrents were crawling the whole night.

Anyone else?

What I have seen works for me is if your upload allowance speed is really low (ie 1kbps), turn it up, perhaps even to unlimited and your download speed should increase- well mine did

+1. Give a little, take a little. I only throttle my upload speed when my downloads have finished. If you set your upload bandwidth too low, you will mainly attract rubbish seeds and peers.

I put my upload to 20kb
when I went to bed they were downloading @ 500kb when I woke up this morning it was downloading @ 1mb.

Just tried this and it worked. Left upload rate to 1kbps.
Heads up for uTorrent users:

Thought this bladdy thing was going suspect slow for some reason

Here's something to check,
Options/Preferences/Bandwidth / Disable the "Apply rate limit to uTP connections" option

mine was enabled & after disabling that it's now running like a mini with a V8 in it.......night & day differance in speeds
