I would like to keep uploading but...

...sometimes the upload speed drops to 0 and stays there. does this mean enough people are uploading
and it's not necessary for me to keep uploading? i can't find an easy answer anywhere. i try to always share
back at least what i take and more whenever possible but when the speed drops to 0 or the tracker "hangs
up" on me i try to restart the torrent and it never goes past 0 for upload.

i'm currently uploading the 7/10 conan at 20k/s but the 6/15 conan stopped at 0k/s almost immediately
after the file was done downloading. it's the one with jessica alba so there's probably more than enough
traffic for that one...

i use tomato torrent on 3 mbps/512 kbps dsl which is almost always as advertised.

utorrent is not available on osx and azureus is a little too much. when it's active in the foreground it uses
30-40% of the cpu and downloads are slower. tt is much leaner and more transparent using only 18-22%
of cpu while active.

that could be it. it's currently uploading 4 torrents which have been active since yesterday. so maybe tt
maxes uploads to 4 at a time. there's no preferences, at least easily findable, so i'll keep it down to 4 now.
i'll try transmission.

lmao 😛
