Hallo,
von Enhanced CTorrent User's Guide (Hervorhebung von mir)
Bandwidth Limits
You should always specify an upload bandwidth limit. With the most recent changes in the program, this „option“ is not just a limit to stay under, but an advisement to the client as well. Enhanced CTorrent now tunes its upload performance based on the limit. Without a limit, the client has no idea how much bandwidth your line can support and so cannot perform this tuning. It is now possible to achieve better upload rates with a limit than without. Due to the tit-for-tat nature of bittorrent, this can also indirectly increase your download performance. If you just want the client to use as much upload bandwidth as possible, then choose a limit that is 10% or so less than the available upload capacity of your line. („Available“ means not typically in use by other applications.)
Note that limits are specified in KB/s (kilobytes per second), where 1KB = 1024 bytes (8192 bits). Your ISP likely measures in „kilobits“ (Kb, where 1Kb = 1000 bits or 125 bytes) or „megabits“ (1Mb = 1000000 bits or 122KB). Some of that [to the tune of 20% in some cases] is used by the line protocol and thus not available to you at all.
Das „option“ in Anführungszeichen meint, dass es eben keine Option mehr ist, sondern Pflichtangabe und für volle Geschwindigkeit auf 90% der Leitungskapazität stehen sollte. Steht das so in der LMN-Doku? Ich konnte es nicht finden.
