kingaaa Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 My Utorrent never goes over 220 kb/s but I've read on this forum guys getting much higher speeds that this. My isp was clocked at 2765 kbps on a speed test, should I be getting better speeds than I am at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Not significantly.Speed tests report in *bit/sec, uTorrent reports in *byte/sec. You're getting pretty close to your connection's rated speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingaaa Posted September 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 so the 220 kb/s is actually 8 times as much in kbps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 most likely, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 And 220 KB/sec download speed probably takes about 9-12 times as much in kilobits/second download BANDWIDTH...due to overheads. The more connections you have, the greater the overheads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanzes Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 if i were you id pay for a faster connection i have a download speed from 1200 to 2000 kb/s (if there is seeders ofc ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingaaa Posted September 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Unfortunatley I'm fairly tied up with my isp, Im paying €37 a month for 2mb wireless broadband - they charge €50 for 3mb. Most of the other providers are a little cheaper but none are significantly faster, and most have download limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Personally I would give up half of my download speed for same increase in upload... I'm not that impatient anymore to get stuff a few hours sooner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 2nd link in my signature gives suggested settings for uTorrent based on your max sustainable UPLOAD speed.NOTE: Max sustainable UPLOAD speed is far less than max download speed for most connections.
