Just want to compare max upload & download speeds people are getting from torrents.

So i know if I'm up to the max i can get,or if i can tweak my torrent client to get a bit more speed out of it

My stable download speed is 12.7 mb/s sometimes goes up to 14 mb/s

Upload speed on a good torrent is 800kb/s to 850kb/s

If i got lots of torrents uploading my overall upload never goes over 850kb/s

Speeds are from a private tracker no seedbox or vpn.

You're getting confused with Megabytes and Megabits. Internet speed is measured in Megabits and your download speed from torrents are measured in Megabytes. 100 Megabits = 12.5 Megabytes and 6 Megabits = 0.75 Megabytes.
I'm with Virgin also, their upload sucks. Wish it was higher than 6.

106 megabits is 13.365 megabytes. 6.18 megabit is 772.5 kilobytes so your speed sounds about its at the highest it can go.

Yeah was thinking its pretty much topped out, port forwarded router & opened ports thou firewall etc...

Just been messing around with ports, cache & cache block size to squeeze a bit more out of it.
