Let's get together on a Test server

Complain to your service provider about your upload and download bandwidth coming from the same pipe size.  They can put seperate limiters on them.  My 256K up doesn't touch my 768k down.  Of course when the up is saturated you control information that needs to go out can get slowed down, but not that significantly.  The issue seems to be where you have a "single" up/down pipe for most people.  People with seperate limits don't have an issue, yeah I still only have the one pipe, but the way it is limited makes it effectively two.

I think this is an oversimplification. My service provider has two separate limits, about 30K up and 3.0 M down. When using blizz's torrent client, it is painfully slow to do anything, even though the combined pipe is probably only 60 K/s, and it really does test out at just under 3.0 M down.

Even though the data sizes for requests send up (for things like surfing) are small, the latency is bad when your upload pipe is totally saturated. Other torrents didn't do this to me. Plus the last time I downloaded this it was much much faster. I got it in about 8 hours--this time it took me nearly 24.
