nfsfreak987 Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Hi everyone after days of searching for my answer i am finally deciding to post my own topic. I have done everything every sight has told me to, from port forwarding to enable/disable certain things unblocking firewall getting patch for halp open tcp and still the i only download at around 30kb/s am i just unlucky ? the seed and peers are healthy and the status bar is green. the only fast download i got was at 370kb/s and 340kb/s of that was coming from 1 single seeder. Do i just need to find better torrents with more seeders or is there some odd thing ive missed ? My speed test for downloads was at 3250kb/s and upload is at 337kb/s, shoudn't i be getting better speeds ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 "My speed test for downloads was at 3250kb/s and upload is at 337kb/s, shoudn't i be getting better speeds ?"Your speeds are reported in kilobits/second.Download/upload speeds for torrents and HTTP downloads are in KILOBYTES/second.Each kilobyte typically takes about 8.5-10 kilobits of bandwidth to transfer.

Ultima Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 No, that's kilobits/megabits. Divide that by 8, and you get your connection's absolute maximum speed. You ARE almost hitting your connection's effective maximum speed -- that you haven't hit 400KiB/s doesn't mean there's any foul play going on.
