as per the ratio i spoke about above, you take them both in to consideration, we are talking about the used upload rate here, due to the download rate being far higher OC....
unless the torrent download, the COD5 AND the random web page pulling were anywere near the 48/50Mbit download rate at the time, then we are only concerned with the used upload rate, if its within the set rate for the average time then download will not be effected from the CM/UBR POV.
the VM techs and people that only see the 50Mbit/s headline without understanding the requirement for ballanced upload ratio, were insisting that the old 1.5 Mbit/s upload rate was good enough to pull full 50Mbit/s tcp downloads, and good enough for them as they dont upload
(you do ,every time you pull something using tcp)
its not good enough for 50Mbit/s download, as maxing out the download will require 1.87Mbit in return tcp ACKs....
its got nothing to do with torrenting as such , you could use UDP for torrents and remove most of the tcp ACK ovehead for instance, its everything to do with using any TCP related apps to the max speed your package is allowing you to use and pay for and the ACKs that requires in upload rates.
