Question about upload speeds (torrenting) in c/[email protected]

Yeah that's probable. Since changing some settings on the connections limits it has already increased, still not as much as peak download like you said.

Fellow Scallywags, I'm trying to share my booty (not that one). But my average upload speed is 294,4 kiB/s, while my average download is 6.1MiB/s.

I've tried ProtonVPN port forwarding, but that doesn't seem to increase it much more than compared to Mullvad without port forwarding.

Is it nomal that uploading is this much less than downloading? What can I do to increase upload speeds? Using qbittorrent.

Okay so I've found that it's related to connection limits, while writing this post up; the old just search it up.

So instead what are some good tips regarding connection limits?

I got internet by tethering my phone. After that I went through all the managers, tried installing b43 and after that wl. But both did nothing on the live usb boot. @RedNight left a link that suggests this macbook version wifi doesn't work with linux. https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux

No luck. I used my phone as tether but none of the managers worked.

Great link mate. I think this explains why none of the suggestions are working.

"The MacBook Pro models with Touch Bar come with a Broadcom Limited BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN SoC (rev 02) which is also supported by brcmfmac, but has several issues rendering it unusable, caused by the available firmware. The issues are caused by failing country detection and are:

-Only 2.4Ghz APs are shown -Connecting to an AP barely works or fails directly"

Sadly the driver manager says no drivers needed

The weird thing is that it picks up 1 or 2 wifi from my neighbours but really weak like 9%. But it doesn't seem te scan my own.

None of these modules are found. It's a live boot so idk of these are only present after install?

Finally decided to convert to the penguin. I have live booted mint from a usb, without installing it yet, on a macbook pro 2017. But none of the WiFi networks in my apartment are showing, except for a few weak ones. Help a newbie out :)

Edit: To clarify it is not installed yet. Just used it from a live usb.

Edit 2: Used phone as tether for internet and went through all managers. But none had any updates that worked. I also tried installing b43 and after that wl. But both did nothing on the live usb boot, I assume since modprobe doesn't do anything on a live boot. But I ain't installing if it won't even work on the live boot.

@RedNight left a link that suggests this macbook, version 14.2, wifi doesn’t work with linux. https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux

Final edit: Fedora also didn't work. So it's a hardware compatibility issue.

TLDR: If u have a macbook 2017 version 14.2 the wifi won't work on linux so don't try.
