the ul750 plan should give you 1mbps for the first 6GB and later on it should give you 512kbps. Is your friend on the same connection ?

Are you on the older NIB1 (do you get IP's in the range 59.xx.xxx.xxx ) what about your friend ?

How much have you downloaded so far ? Looks like you have used up your 6GB and now you are on 512kbps. The 1mbps-upto-6GB plan was introduced few months back. I am also on the same plan as you but I havent yet seen 1mbps speeds. (dont care for mere 6GB)

You'd be surprised. Despite what you may be thinking, it's pretty unlikely that you will upload 10x what you download - or even close to that - even if you have 30mbit/s upload speed. I'm speaking from experience both past and present, using both public and private trackers.

If you leave your PC permanently seeding, then you might have a fighting chance - if you're only downloading like 20GB a month - but seriously, I've uploaded only 17GB since the about this time on the 5th, so if we extrapolate that across 30 days that's ~170GB a month.

My average upstream utilization is well less than 1mbit/s, and when it is transferring, it normally sits between 1 & 2mbit/s (depending on how many transfers are going). On some rare occasions it does spike up to much higher speeds (10, 20, 30+) for very short periods of time when someone does download most of a file from me, but normally? Nah.

Granted, I probably don't download or share the same content as you lot do - but I suspect I'd have a similar experience even if I did. I pledge to seed a popular torrent on a private tracker for the sake of testing and get back with my results.
