your up is 12kb/s and slot alloc is set to 2 kb/s -> 6 clients in your upload and all clients get from u 2 kb/s

your up is 12kb/s and slot alloc is set to 3 kb/s -> 4 clients in your upload and all clients get from u 3 kb/s

slot alloc = upload in kb/s / client

hello,

i ve 128 kb in ul too, and the best compromise ul/dl is 12 kb in ul, not much, to let some bandwith to server responses when asking for sources. if more, the dl rate fall down.

Yes, you did. *Mule network is like this: if you have 4 kb/s upload, you will have your download limited to 16 kb/s. Finish. If you have 5 kb/s your download will be limited to 25 kb/s...if you have 10 kb/s upload, your download will be unlimited. So....my suggestions are: put your upload to 10 kb/s.
If you upload more, your download speed will decrease because the *Mule needs to send an "okay" response on every data it recieves. If you upload less, you will have bad credits and other *Mule clients will see you as a leecher probably.
If you really NEED to have your webserver online and if you really NEED the bandwidth for your webserver, then try traffic shaping (aka Quality of Service, QoS) with the iproute+tc package for linux to give your webserver a higher priority than the *Mule.

Hope that helps, greetings,

do you mean you put 16 kb/s in download?
you can put 128 kb/s in there! no need to cripple your mule...no, really, the network is good for much more than 16 kb/s :)
