Stereotactic Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Hi,I run a speedtest at speedtest.net with a server close to my location and the download speed turned out to be 782 kbps while the upload speed was 104 kbps. Armed with this vital information, I tried a number of guides on how to get the most out of my connection but most of them seemed to cripple my download speed. So please, don't redirect me to any guide because chances are I've read it. :/ What would be a good average speed I should get on any torrent with a decent ratio? And how could I possibly improve my current download rate? Maximum I've ever seen is 80 kB/s for torrents with great ratios. I usually get around 25 kB/s though. Max. Upload right now is set to 7 kB/s and max. download is set to unlimited.Thanks for reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
