Never get more than 3 MB.s on 77 Mbps connection

[Kislorod]

Hello, fellowes!

 

I would like to share a problem with speed:

 

Torrent download speeds almost never rise higher than 3MB/s. Usually 1-1.7MB/s, while "ordinary" HTTP Vhrome downloads display 5-6MB/s speeds. A single-peer download speeds are about 400-600 kB/s at most (usually 200-400kB/s) on healthy torrents. Even on healthy torrents with thousands of seeds. The speed of HTTP and FTP downloads - is about 5-6MB/s.

 

Please see the attach - these are my absolutely usual speeds.

 

My internet-connection is 77Mbps. Real IP. I have 3 computers (Mac w/ v1.8.4, PC w/3.4.2.32126, MacBook w/1.8.4) forming a LAN via Time Capsule MD033 (Mac and PC - by 1Gbps cables and MacBook via 420Mbps WiFi ). Presuming your next question I will answer - YES, I already tried to connect each of my computers directly, bypassing router - the overall speed picture remains the same. uTorrent on EACH machine is set to default settiings. Traffic limitations turned OFF (re-checked a dozen times). 

 

 

The most amusing fact is that LAN download speeds (when I start the on Mac a download  that is already finished on PC for test) also display LOW download speeds limited exactly to 14.8MB/s though my machines are connected by 1Gbps link and manually copying a file from Mac to PC displays speeds about 60-70MB/s (60000-70000kB/s) (Screeenshot #2)

 

"Glasnost" shows that my ISP is NOT shaping traffic - it reached 7MB/s during test (See screenshot 3#)

 

Can someone please tell me - what the hell?

I think we are all experiencing the same issue. I don't know, but it seems to be the new OS. At least that's when it started for me.

What sort of storage system are you downloading to?

Is it directly connected to the computer or a network attached storage device?
