Hi everyone...i am sure it was asked before but couldn't find a clear answer.

Telkom are coming to install my analog line on Thursday, and i will then get an ADSL line + Uncapped account.

I like using torrents , please help me decide on ISP and provide me with the following:

Name of ISP
Account speed
Torrents shaped
Torrents not shaped

Thanks,

What line speed do you intend getting (384K, 512K, or 4mbps) and what is your budget for ADSL line rental + ISP account?

MWeb seems to be working quite well (based on feedback from forumites, and the last 4 days of my own usage on a 1 month free account), and seem to have the best Fair Use Policy / Acceptable Use Policy.
 
Can't really decide between 384 and 512....depends on the answers i get,/
 
Mweb ftw!! i did 20 gigs in less than 2 weeks just on torrents

384line

Lol, that's not much. With good seeds you should get about 40-45GB on a 384kb/s line in that period of time.

uTorrent

Just did a speedtest

Last Result:
Download Speed: 334 kbps (41.8 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 100 kbps (12.5 KB/sec transfer rate)

Looks like good speeds to me - anything 40+ would be okay by me ;)
 
I don't bother with torrents to my local PC anymore ... a waste of time and bandwidth ... got a seedbox :).
 
ok guys, thanks for all the feedback, but if you saying something like" i never get 40kb" , can you please specify who is your ISP?

Thanks!
 
wtf is a seedbox ? google here i come..... so much to learn so little time before they install my line :D
