With TCP/IP networking,
every piece of data that is received must be acknowledged by a small outbound
packet. So if you're uploading at full speed, your connection will have trouble
letting the people who you're downloading from know that you've received the
data they sent you and are ready for them to send some more - and your download
rate will suffer. This is known as 'choking'.
Limiting your upload rate to around 80% of your
real-world upload speed will leave enough room to send these acknowledgement packets.
To determine your maximum upload speed, do a speed
test at dslreports.com/stest.
Make sure you're not downloading/uploading anything while this speed test is
working or
you will get false results. It will provide you
with a download and upload speed at the top of the page in kbps (e.g. 1223 /
240). In this case your upload speed would be 240kbps, so divide this number by
8 to convert it to KB/s and then multiply it by .8 to get 80% of your real-world
upload speed (in this case the final result would be 24).
Then just enter this number in BitComet: Options
> Preferences "Global Max Upload Rate"
