Up Speed too slow
-
Hi, I am a torrent newbie.
I recently fully downloaded a huge torrent about 60GB.
To maintain my ratio, I am trying to seed that torrent to other users but my up speed is way too low.
My download speed was about 4MB/s but upload speed is only about 10kB/s.?????????????
I checked that the upload speed is unlimited as the download speed and seed/peers is 4 which means some people are trying to download the torrent.
Why is my upload speed so low??????????????????
Can you help me?

Check your internet upload speed here:
It is possible your ISP is throttling torrents but that should affect download speed, too.
When you say that you "checked that the upload speed is unlimited" is that in your torrent software settings?
Your upload speed will be limited to the download speed of the peers downloading from you. Sometimes I connect with very slow peers for upload or download, at about 0.7 KB/s. A torrent can take weeks to download at that speed. I am not sure why they are so slow unless that is just their internet speed.
Someone else may have some other thoughts.

Thanks for response.
My ISP speed is exactly as expected, fast download, slow upload as given in the screenshot.
As far as the unlimited, I meant in the setup of the specific torrent, as in the screenshot as well.

Looks like the maximum upload speed of your internet connection is 0.06 MB/s or 60 KB/s and the screenshot of your torrent software shows two torrents uploading, one at 35.4 KB/s and one at 32 KB/s for a total rate of 67.4 KB/s, so it seems like everything is working as well as it can and that you are uploading at the maximum rate possible for your internet capacity. If you think you should be uploading faster than that, the problem is with your internet service limiting upload to 60 KB/s.
You have uploaded over 210 GB total which seems very reasonable.
I'm guessing that the 67 GB SketchySex torrent is in red because it is no longer available on this site, so unfortunately you will never get upload credit for that in the future.
