i have a problem with my local upload speeds that hardy exceed 5kB and average around 2kB, it will spike to just over 10kB then come down again. Im on a 4MB uncapped account from mweb.

international uploads upload alittle faster, but i barely ever max my upload speeds.
Is there some kind of setting i can use to fix this problem? or why is it slow slow?

My downloads are fine, its just the uploads thats a problem.
 
The connection gets saturated and then starts to burst. Its happens to me too. I found that if I limit my upload connections to 8 its doesn't burst or upload slow.
 
Its probably still due to SEACOM being down and then SAIX limiting/blocking P2P. Wait a week or two, then it should hopefully return to what it was a week ago.
 
international uploads alot higher, its just when im uploading local stuff. So i think it has a problem with the local thing, but why would it be like that?, why is international faster, and local slow?, would'nt it make sense for it being the other way around?

hopefully someone here knows whats wrong, and has a fix for something like this,
 
Mweb uncapped is not intended for P2P, so I don't know why you even care about the upload speeds. Furthermore, if you've read what I've said: some of the ISP's are blocking P2P while the SEACOM line is still broken. It makes perfect sense that you would get faster speeds uploading to international peers if local ISP's are blocking P2P.

This is why I said you should wait 2 weeks or so till the SEACOM line has been fixed...

You setup port forwarding?

i am running pppoe connection. i read that port forwarding is not needed in the router when you connect like this. Or have i read wrong?

pppoe = ok no portforwarding, but you need to turn off your firewall of your antivirus and look for dht, deselect that, protocall encryption=forced

done all that except for forced encryption, just had it on enabled, will try forced and see how it goes.
 
Having encryption forced will have you downloads slower on some isps, who shape unknown encrypted packets more than normal p2p. Also when it is forced you bypass the torrent caching on most isps since the caching devices cant really help you there.

Just thought I'd put that out there. Might help some that want faster torrent downloads.
 
ok well i still not able to upload at a good speed, barely passed a 0.5 ratio in about 2 or 3 days, wich means, uploading is slow. if it was running max like it should be on my 4 MB line, i could atleast upload at about 45-60kB. but no ways, its still on 1.5Kb this exact moment.

What is everyone elses upload speeds?
Is anyone here able to upload close to their average upload line speed on one specific torrent file?
