I'm a big fan of the speed increase, as now I don't feel like I need to stop seeding torrents when I want to play some games with friends. Keep my ratio up AND dominate in some Mass Effect multiplayer? Sounds good to me!

What's the point in keeping your ratio up?

Share ratio is relevant if you are using private trackers usually. Otherwise it's probably just some moral desire to give back as much as you get, which I think is bullshit. I share stuff just long enough to download it if I'm not using a private tracker.

As K_A said, it matters for me because I'm on a private tracker. A low enough ratio will get you kicked out. And the benefits of being on a private tracker (security and wicked fast speeds) make seeding well worth it.

I have a bunch of other people on my network, so I can't really manage to slow down our internet. Everyone'd get pissed at me.

The joys of living on my own. It's my internet and I'll do what I want with it.

Other than the fact that Comcast caps your bandwidth.

Since all the cool kids are doing it.



This was done through my VNC server so the streaming data through the VNC may or may not have had an effect on the results.

I just recently dropped my PowerBOOST or whatever their bullshit service is where the first 10(?) MB of a download are at twice the normal speed. I was paying $10 a month for it and I haven't noticed the difference not having it.

Yah, I know. For the time being though, they're not enforcing the cap. Hopefully that will last as long as possible, and will result in a much higher cap than they currently have when it's reinstated.

Cap aside, comcast really had the best deal for speed in my area.
