Upload and download speeds are completely independent of each other. In fact i often find that increasing my upload speed results in my download speed also increasing. On a command-line try typing

btdownloadcurses --help

or perhaps

btdownloadcurses -h

the --help or -h tags usually give helpful hints on how to use any command in any linux distro, assuming you can use the command on that machine. Hopefully enough to be useful to you ;)

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

 btdownloadcurses -h
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/btdownloadcurses", line 220, in <module>
    run(mainerrlist, argv[1:])
  File "/usr/bin/btdownloadcurses", line 163, in run
    download(params, d.chooseFile, d.display, d.finished, d.error, mainkillflag, fieldw)

    h = urlopen(config['url'])

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib2.py", line 244, in get_type
    raise ValueError, "unknown url type: %s" % self.__original

$ btdownloadcurses --help
These errors occurred during execution:

Oooops, that doesn't look right. I have got the name of the command wrong i think! Sorry about that. When you set-up torrents what command do you use? Try typing

dir --help

to see the type of thing i was expecting.
Apols and regards from

Then to get better experience try to use "screen"

Here what i do to help the spread of Ubuntu via torrents on a remote pc via ssh:

-------------------------------------------------

How to start the download or the seed of torrents at pc boot:

- First be sure you have bittornado package installed:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bittornado

- Create a $HOME/torrents directory, open a terminal and type:

mkdir $HOME/torrents
cd $HOME/torrents
wget http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/9.04/ubuntu-9.04-beta-alternate-i386.iso.torrent
wget http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/9.04/ubuntu-9.04-beta-desktop-i386.iso.torrent

- Put in the /etc/rc.local before the exit 0 row

sudo vi /etc/rc.local

screen -dm
screen -X screen /usr/bin/btlaunchmanycurses --max_upload_rate 30 /home/ubuntu/torrents/

Save and exit and reboot the pc...

Then using a terminal: to resume the screen, type:
screen -r
then to re detach the screen live the process running in background
CTRL+A + d

This will seed or download the torrents file in the /home/ubuntu/torrents/ directory every pc boot...
and you can always from local or remote ssh access to the "btlaunchmanycurses" running command with "screen -r" utility...

Hope this helps
