Glasnost test showed speeds much higher than uTorrent's

[arktikk]

Hey everyone,

I was reading the speed guide earlier just so make sure everything matched up/was alright, didn't follow it because I usually get speeds of 1.0mb/s on my torrents, but one torrent was giving me 20-100kb/s.

Anyway, I ran a diagnostic on Glasnost and it said my download speeds were between 7.5-8.0mb/s.

If this is true, why am I only getting speeds of 1.0 on uTorrent (and any other client) at BEST?

I always use ThePirateBay as my tracker fyi. (sorry if that's frowned upon.)

Thanks for any and all help!

edit: forgot to mention I don't use any anti-virus or firewall.

uTorrent's 1MBytes/s = Glasnost 8Mbits/s. You download at your max speed.

Doh, I forgot that megabits and megabytes aren't the same. Thanks :|
