Re: Problem UPLOADING

Did your ISP say whether they were giving you the upload in bits or bytes per second? The reason I ask is because most ISPs and speed tests show bits per second and bittorrent talks about speed in bytes per second (conversion: divide the bits by 8 to get the bytes). So 100 in terms of bits is 12.5 in terms of bytes.

Generally speaking, when downloading a show, you want to cap your upload around 90% or it's max (and more if you are also playing on the web). Also, have you forwarded your ports? That can make a huge difference in your speeds on some torrents.
