Regarding the speed of your downloads:
With all P2P networks you can only download as fast as the people on the other end can send the files to you. You will also notice that even though you can download that is get files from the network to your PC at a rate of 2Mbps. I am relatively confident that you cannot send files into the network (upload ) at that same rate. Well, this is true for most users. Also, recently I've received complaints from people not able to download at good speeds. After much troubleshooting we learned that the ISP was throttling P2P traffic. Nothing you can do about this short of changing ISPs. | Thanks for the explanation LeeWare. I guess as I become more acquainted with all the nuances involved in file sharing I will understand better.
Is there anywhere I can test my speeds and is there anywhere that explains, bit rates, ping rates, throttles etc in laymans terms?
Thanks again |
