Does a low user-set maximum upload speed translate to slower download
speeds in µTorrent?
This question has been asked numerous times on the web and the given
answer almost always is yes. However, I never saw any support and I
suspect that the answer is given purely to give the motivation for people
to seed.
I am not aware of any automatic fairness system that takes place over the
torrent protocol. It is probably possible for users to block others who
they deem to be not generous enough, but does the torrent network already
discriminate against people who set low limits for upload?
It's clearly the case that an unrestricted maximum upload speed can hamper
download speeds and most of the time it is recommended that one set the
limit at 80%-90% of the capacity, but this question deals with setting the
upload speed too low, not too high.
