50meg configuration suggestions

[peshua19]

Hi all, I've upgraded my internet to 50meg and am awaiting installation, but in the mean time can anyone recommend an ideal configuration, as I presume that going from 10meg to 50meg I'll need to change some connection settings to maximize my possible speed. It's running on a 'seedbox' I built, nothing fancy, 512 ram and pentium d. One thing though, I need to test low upload vs optimal upload, because according to others atm how my ISP work is if you use say 80% of your max upload speed, they throttle 80% of your download speed - although I need to verify this for myself.

Router is running DD-WRT so very configurable too.

Just to clarify, speed is 1.2Mb upload/50Mb download. I will also have QoS set up so other computers on network (aka. someone browsing) will get priority above the seedbox.

Thanks in advance!

your tech specs are similar to my seedbox.

i have a 100 Mb/s seedbox...i could give you my .rtorrent.rc if you like...it's nothing fancy but works fine.

of course, i use FreeBSD

sorry, i must have forgotten to post it.

I've added some commented out commands which i currently do not use, but you could.

you're welcome...it's not even that tweaked out but it works well for me as well.
