fnfj55uy6 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Hi, I am in the UK and i am only ever able to get 2.2 mbs downlaod on a 20mbs connection through fibre optic, DU Meter shows i am downloading at 20mbps when only utorrent is open even tho utorrent shows 2.2mbs down, any idea why this is? Thanks!ISP Speed:http://www.speedtest.net/result/976211167.pnghttp://www.speedtest.net/result/976211167.pngUtorrent Speed:http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc366/mtrj1776/01/Capture.png?t=1286093255Utorrent Settings:http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc366/mtrj1776/01/Capture2.png?t=1286093258http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc366/mtrj1776/01/Capture2.png?t=1286093258Image of DU Meter showing 20mbps but UTorrent only downlaoding at 2.2Mbps (all other internet using rograms turned off, firewall turned off and also antivirus turned off)http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc366/mtrj1776/01/Capture3.png?t=1286093623I should add my router supports and has enabled upnp and utorrent is allowed in the hardware firewall, i have a DIR-615 router*EDIT* RIGHT HAND SIDE OF PICTURES GOT CUT OFF, FOLLOW THE LINK TO SEE DUMETER!ThanksMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dforce Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Mwuha-ha! =)Sorry, but that's funny.SpeedTest shows results in MegaBITs per second, and uTorrent - in MegaBYTEs (1 byte = 8 bits)So:2.2 MB/s (in uTorrent)= 2.2 MB/s * 8 (bits per byte) = 17.6 Mb/s (megabits)... also you need to add some overhead - and with your speed in mind the overall download speed will be close to 20 Mb/s... so it's absolutely normal - you get nearly 90-100% of your max bandwidth.
