probably 160 is the server upload bandwidth.
go to the server, and do www.speedtest.net
it will give you some links to paste here for us to see

im connecting to the server thats in my network with another computer thats in the same network.
so its going 

server----router----pc

so shouldn't u/d only be limited by the cables and ports.

so basically what i wanna no is why can i upload from this pc to the server pc at 3 mega bytes a sec and i can only download at 160 kilo bytes a sec

may as well show you how crap australias internet it unless you spend alot of $$$ lol
