Just on the upload figure you gave me and the calculation that is the max upload speed in kiloBYTES that your line is capable of - based on that figure.
So it looks like Azureus is reporting the correct speed (in KB). Perhaps the other services are in bits?
Another possibility (IMO unlikely, as it occurs more commonly on download not upload bandwidth), is that the other services (filefront,megaupload,rapidshare) might be using multiple upload streams between your computer and their servers - something akin to how download managers work - but again, I feel this is unlikely.
So yeah, check the rate you've been given - whether its in bytes(B) or bits(b)
Just to drive it home;
e.g. 450 kbps = 450 kilobits per second
450 KBps = 450 kilobytes per second
8 bits in a byte
200 bits = 25 bytes
1024 bits/bytes in a kilobye
2048 b/B = 2 kb/KB
You know that rare phenonomon when after hours and hours and hours of troubleshooting, things just just magically work and you have no idea why? Just gotta love it! ;-)
thanks...I dont know why filefront and megaupload are like that but whatever. I guess I can upload 1 file at a time to get it so my ratio isnt all scrwed over.
