Re: [Mldonkey-users] using mldonkey on VERY low-bandwidth connections...

[kami petersen]

do you notice that other downloads (try a known good ftp) becomes slow 
when you have mldonkey running like this? maybe then, you are allowing 
to much upload, so that your upload bandwidth becomes totally saturated. 
this means that syn/ack signals that you send back to the people you 
download from gets delayed and thus your download speed is throttled.

find out what your maximum upload is, and _never_ saturate that value.

cheers,
kami
