Speed!!

[gamer4eva]

I have a 3.5Mbit connection,
and the fastest speeds that i've managed to reach is about 570-580 kB/s.

That cant be right because i have a 4Mbit connection and theoretically you are meant to be getting max 510-520KB/s which i do get.

As i said earlier.....3.5mbit=3584kbit

So 3584kbit/8=448KB/s max

If ya wanna work in KB/s then 1mbit=128KB/s

3mbit=128*3=384KB/s

0.5mbit=128/2=64KB/s

384KB/s+64KB/s=448KB/s

I have a 3 MBit line and the highest I've gotten is roughly 580 kB/s with utorrent. This only happens when I have two or three torrents running, and each one averages about 200 kB/s. The highest I've seen a single torrent download would have to be about 415 kb/s, again with utorrent.

not bad huh?

Edit: Let me just add that the fastest I've ever downloaded from a webpage is about 300 kb/s, and thats off my providers website. I hope that proves that it do indeed have a 3 Mbit connection.

You are probably just receiving more bandwidth than what you pay for- it happens. Some FiOS users report speeds like 22mbits when in reality they only pay for the 15mbit package. Otherwise, a speed of 580kB/s would be close to a 5mbit connection...

utorrent has the option to make your speeds show in Kb ?
and about the speed question, i used to have a 1.5/256 cable connection, the 1.5 i presume was Mbit ,but how was it i was able to get downloads as high as 900KB/s ?...more than once and often get downloads around 700K mark...but now ive got a 25000/1024 ASDL2 and pull those mothers in at 1.5+MB/s often..:mbounce:

I've got a 100mbit connection in my country(uploading with 7.2MB/s right now (highest speed that I've seen was 9.6MB/s)) and 10mbit connection to other countries, it's usually about ~1.2MB/s

precisely, so I have a 2Mbit connection which is why my top speed for dl is around 230 KB/s and the torrent clients measure dl in KB/s (atleast BC and Utorrent do)

So as I said, how can skizo get 600? 600 what KB or Kb what client are you using which measures in Kb?

uTorrent

You're confusing Kb & KB, utorrent measures in KB/s

you should get speeds of 434 KB/s on your 3.5 Mb connection but your lucky as with some other users you're pulling in faster that your connection should allow.

Now then why has everyone ignored my request for your upload speeds? As down load seems to be limited to what you upload at I'm interested to find out what you guys who dl at those high speeds can up load at?

And do you only get those high dl speeds when you are lucky enough not to be uploading?

Surely you mean 7.2Mb, 9.6Mb & 1.2 Mb (mega bit) MB is Mega byte.

I mean megabyte! As I already mentioned, it's 100 mbit(mega bit) and 10 mbit(mega bit)

SO you are able to upload at the same (or almost) capacity as you can download.

Most ISP restrict upload to 10% of download.

if im on a 1.5mb up and 256mb down on ADSL what is the best speed that i can expect to get, and what do i have to do to the router to get these speeds, as it stands right now i get (if i lucky) 25-30KB on bitlord and shareaza is a little better but not by much

input most welcome
