2Wire Modem running Uploading Extremely fast

[175170]

I believe this is legal on these forums, but I could be wrong. Please tell me if this is illegal immediately.
Anyways, something is definitely wrong with my 2Wire 2701HG-B Router. It frequently crashes probably because of some misplaced filter somewhere. However, today, it reset itself while I was downloading a torrent.
Somehow, now I am uploading the torrent at 43 Megabits per Second- off of a AT&T DSL 2Wire Modem.
I'm pretty sure something is wrong here.
Is there any explanation for this phenomenon?

Sounds like your provider is doing something wrong.

Here are some pics.

I don't see any pictures.

It sounds to me like something is reporting the wrong data rate.

Yeah ...I believe there is something wrong with it. Probably it's your provider...

The maxiumum upload speed of your model of DSL modem is 24mbp/s which means the fact you have 43 is impossible, there is probably a problem with the torrent tracker.

Why dont you run this internet speed test and post the results.

A BitTorrent tracker cannot directly effect transfer speed, either real or reported.

it can affect your reported speed if its a private tracker like demonoid, and seeders heavily outweigh peers.

What torrent client is the OP using? What version as well.

Sorry for that- I forgot that the forums don't accept TIFF pictures.
Here the are.

 

[175170]

Sorry, the original extension was TIFF, but even when it is changed to JPEG, apparently it still knows it's actually a TIFF in disguise.
This time, I actually changed the whole file in Preview.
Wait- that didn't work either.
I actually converted it to PDF this time. Hope it works...
EDIT: Thank goodness that worked.

No it can't. The tracker has no control over what your client reports. If the client is misreporting, that isn't the tracker's fault.

To the OP: That looks pretty zippy, all right. Have you run the speed test linked above?

It's actually all back to normal now.
However, during the throttle, I ran SpeedTest, and I got 100 kbs Upstream-Probably because the Torrent was running.
However, I didn't dare stop it, because once I stopped it, I knew I would never get back to those speeds again.
I ran SpeedTest again today, and it's all back to normal AT&T DSL Speeds again.

Can you confirm that is the real speed and amount of data that was uploaded? Transmission has been tracking BitTorrent overhead for sometimes and I've had it go haywire before.
