Internet Speed???

[acearchie]

How come When I download torrents with "bits on wheels" I never get results like this, I average maybe 50 kbps download and max 30 kbps upload. But when I do a "speed test" it comes up with these results??? which are nothing like my real download and upload!!!

Thanks!

Torrents are always crappy. you need fresh torrents with good seeds to get high torrent speeds.

I know but some uploaders say they have 2mbps upload and I am the only leecher.

And anyway I have never seen these kind of speeds whilst donwloading apps etc!

The speed tester could be measuring in kilobits per second there, and the program you use is showing kilobytes per second.

8bits = 1 byte (i think )
