i just did an upload and download bandwidth test on my comp and i got...

my DL speed is 10.7 Mbps

my UL speed is 1.68 Mbps

so with that info what should i use as my bandwidth limites in my Amule preferences to get the best download speeds?  

Thank you for your help.

As a general rule, use an upload limit of about the 80% of your upload limit, and let the download limitless. Although with such capacities, I'm not so sure that rule works fien, but it's agood start point.

Regards.

im sorry but i dont quite understand what you mean.  please speak to me as if im a small child LOL.

my UL speed is 1.68 Mbps

1.68Mbps=1680Kbit/s=210KByte/s

I think your line capacity is a bit higher, thus try setting your upload limit to 210 and your download limit to 0 (means no limit).

ok i put my upload at 210 and my download to 900. ill see how that works out.  Another quick question.  Does the KAD always take long to get 2 green arrows.  i always start with 1 green and 1 red and then after like a half hour i get 2 green arrows. i use MAC OS X.

this is a pic of my settings. i figured it would help to add this

I think your slot allocation is pretty small. Try using something like 20kB/s for each slot. Also, leave 0 in download limit (IT works for me ).

143,9 UPLOAD and only 11,0 DOWNLOAD.  this is driving me crazy.

[MalAkye79]

well downloads still seem slower then what i think i should be getting.  my new post below this one shows a pic of my upload/download speeds

[lionel77]

There is an issue with 2.1.3 (and 2.1.2) that limits the download speed per source to about 3k/s. You could try my most recent cvs version (see my sig) in which this issue is fixed.

P.S. I merged your new "is this upload to download speed normal (image attached)" thread with this one.

ok i got this at the end of my terminal.  is this bad?

do i have to keep terminal open to use this program?  i shut terminal and amule closed

[wuischke]

Yes, this is bad, it's a crash. Open the file ~/Library/Application Support/aMule/amule.conf [~ is /User/yourusername] and set NewVersionCheck= to 0. This way it should not crash.
Maybe Ken or lionel know a bit more about the cause of this crash.

[MalAkye79]

i changed it to zero saved it and then quit terminal and amule crashed   hopefully someone can show me how to fix this so i dont have to keep terminal open to keep the cvs amule open.
