Overhead over 10% of upload speed

[Wajeeha]

I am getting an overhead over 10% of upload speed. I want to know that is this a genuine situation faced. I am having this query because most of the uTorrent users have told that the overhead remains just till 5-10 Kbps.

The downloads are comparatively slower than uploads. But, not very much slow. I am surprised at the upload speed that I am getting. It is around 900 Kbps - 1 Mbps.

Please provide all your views and suggestions on this situation. I am waiting for your replies.

It seems that uploading is going on more than the downloading because of which there is a situation that the overhead is over 10% of upload speed. I have faced such a situation and I simply optimized my internet connection to get rid of this problem. I used the tool called Optimize My PC for optimization of the internet. There are many other features of this software. So, download and install it as soon as possible. I hope that it helps you to resolve the issue that you are facing.

There is a possibility that overhead over 10% of upload speed because the ISP is causing some issues with UDP packets. According to me, the solution that can help you in this case is that you simply have to limit the upload speed. Make sure that you do the limit under the connection cap. This must help you to increase the download speed. Just let me know if the issue is solved after that or not.

A recommended solution that can be used if the overhead is over 10% of upload speed is to switch to TCP. I have seen many of the users facing this problem. So, this is a genuine problem. Well, changing to TCP have helped them to eradicate this situation. If you do not know how to change to TCP, then it will be better if you take the help of some expert or professional. Doing unnecessary changes to the internet settings can be harmful to the system.
