Network Speed Question

    Hi there,

    I have a network question. I usually have uTorrent running on my PC downloading at least one 'piece of work' at a time, say 80-100MB. Do any of you know if it slows down the network speed if I have many running? I know there are other people in my house doing the same, i.e. having uTorrent running downloading stuff.

    Also, you can put a limit on the Upload Rate. Does this have any effect on the network speed? I have 3MB wireless broadband.

    Any help is welcome!

    Jeff

    Yes it can, having too many connections can swamp your router also filling your upload will kill your download. Don't run many torrents together, 2 is a enough, limit the total upload to less than 80% of your upload speed and limit the connections per torrent

    here's a calculator
