What speeds should I be getting on Torrent Bytes, with 647 seeder(s), 52 leecher(s) = 699 peer(s) total

Thanks, and yes I'm a n00b!

you have to tell us what kind of internet connection you have ;)

If you don't know your internet connection, go to http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest?more=1 and pick the location nearest to you. ;)

He has a 10Mbps pipe - it says so in the properties box if you enlarge it!

This has a max (unachievable) of 1.25 Mbps - guestimate would be up to around 1 Meg if there are sufficient seeds/leeches in the swarm to service this sort of speed. Never seen such speeds - from memory the best I've seen is approx 500kBps.

Actual speed is dependent on all sorts of criteria.

Go to the stickies for more info.

i think that if he have a 1 Mbps he should be up to 200 Kbps, no more than that

[Delorean]

he should get around 400-700 KB/s from that site with so many seeders and so little leechers! less than at least 350KB/s means that something is wrong!

Its a 10Mb cable for christ sake!

Um...you guys are WAY OFF

Look @ that. And I got 3mbps DSL.

Only way to tell how fast your connection is, is doing a speed test.

Thats just the max speed at which that particulat network connection can transfer data not the speed of the connection it access.

Your download speed : 271 kbps or 33.9 KB/sec.
Your upload speed : 62 kbps or 7.8 KB/sec.



I swear I thought I had 1MB broadband

[twisterX]

:lol:

thats worse than what you though. Thats like 365 kbps connection.

[oldjagman]

We're getting our big Ks and little ks mixed up here. Your physical download is measured in kilobits not Kilobytes so you have to divide the speed of your connection by 8 to arrive at the speed your client reports. I have 2200Ks download and 256 Ks up giving me a max of 275ks down (never seen but have recorded 225) and 32 up (can get there but 29-30 is normal)

I decided to uninstall McAfee Firewall and see if it made a difference! now I'm gettin 100kb/sec+ speeds:w00t:

weird

[4play]

is it me or is that 10mb his local connection. his wan connection could be anything.

Those ain't the stats of a 10meg pipe, did you have a d/l running when you did that test? If so, shut down all other internet activity and then run a speed test and post the results on here.;)

At the time there was no internet activity at all. I uninstalled McAfee Firewall+McAfee security center and restarted.

Now I'm getting

Yep, much better, looks like mcafee was choking your connection, try kaspersky personal(not pro) a/v and zonealarm(basic free version) for your firewall(that's what I'm running and it works perfectly), see how that goes and let us know.;)
