Confused with upload settings

[thecog]

Hi.  I've been reading a bit here on upload settings but still somewhat confused.  My internet is through Spectrum and is Download 117.85 Mbps down and 11.78 Mbps up.  I've included some pics of my settings, how am I doing with these settings?

You are fine, you should not need to mess around with any default settings whatsoever. They serve just great even at 1gbps upload.
Only thing I would recommend is... if you experience internet dropouts, or serious lag (even without saturating upload), limit the number of connections in settings until you achieve a stable internet connection.

(basically, higher connection count puts more stress on routers and some ISPs (or just folks in general) use very cheap routers.)

If you or anyone sharing the internet connection are experiencing slow web surfing (which probably isn't using a LOT of bandwidth itself, other than video streaming or downloading from websites) while qBitTorrent is running...

You may want to set speed limits in qBitTorrent slightly below the max speeds of your connection.
Also try lowering max half open connections in advanced settings.

...But it can also mean your ISP's local node is overloaded, especially during peak weekday evening hours.

I use Scheduler in both qBitTorrent and uTorrent to automatically use much lower max speeds during 5-11 PM hours.

Thank you!  Glad to see I did ok on the settings.  I'll make the suggested changes.
