    Default Why do I get such great download speeds?

    Now, it's not like I'm complaining or anything... () But, compared to other people, I'm getting really good download speeds:

    As you can see, I've ordered my "peers" starting at the highest download speeds:



    Why is this? Is it because I set my number of connections all at 2000? (h)

    If it is, then why isn't everyone else doing the same thing?

    My adsl always runs at full speed, 1.5mbit and 512kbps respectively depending whether I'm at uni or home.

    What is your internet? FiOs? DSL? Tx?

    My ISP is Time Warner, MAx speeds of 90kbps when I dl on Utorrent and I dont set my conns. at 2000. Doesn't matter, speed doesnt really make a difference, a 4gig file downloads in under a day so I cant complain.

    I've got charter 3meg and i get speeds of 350kb/s to 450kb/s. I can't complain, although my uploads speeds fall on the floor at 30kb/s...

    uTorrent licks ass bro, you HAVE to upload in order to download that max speed but if you have high bandwidth then it's ok... That's not really high speed unless you're from New Zealand *checking* mmm... Third rock from the sun, helpful.
    But that's generally maximum speed, depending on the size of your cable, try buy a gold wire cable or a bigger cable it might go even faster

    I have 150kbs dl speed but... 1 gig bandwidth, ffs I use that in the first day! Right now i've got 7-10kbs but only because I changed something in regedit to make it go 1kb faster lol.

    It usually depends on how well seeded a torrent is. I've downloaded at upwards of 800kbs but with poorly seeded torrents I get less than 10kbs. Just get the torrents from a good site like demonoid.
