    There is a diference between megabits per second and mega bytes per second. google is a very good wepage for learing about anything.....

    Just divide by 8 from what your ISP tell you. If they tell you 10Mbps speed, the speed that shown on uTorrent, IDM, or downloading file on chrome is around 1.25MB/s.
     
    The key difference is Mbps and MBps, small b is bit, capital B is byte. 1 byte is 8 bit. Take note most ISP speed is "up to", so it is not guaranteed and that speed at all time.

    You also have to take into account that just because you're paying for 5 mbps doesn't mean you're always getting that speed. ISPs advertise as "UP TO 50 Mbps!" where the up to is the key phrase. I have 150 down, but on a good day I get around 90 down

    "People often incorrectly assume that a download speed of 1 Megabit per second will allow them to download a 1 Megabyte file in one second. This is not the case, because one byte contains eight bits. A Megabit is 1/8 the size of a Megabyte, meaning that to download a 1 MB file in 1 second you would need a connection of 8 Mbps. The difference between a Gigabyte (GB) and a Gigabit (Gb) is the same, with a Gigabyte being 8 times larger than a Gigabit."

    With you getting 500 kbps, have a look at your router. There are many factors that contribute with causing a lower speed. Low-end router mainly use only single band 2.4 ghz which phones and even microwaves can interfere with it. Many new dual band routers utilise both 2.4 & 5ghz. Note that 5 ghz is a lot more stable to interference but the range is greatly reduced due to its wavelength. How bittorrent works is that you are theoretically downloading something off of someone elses computer that they already have downloaded data - meaning that there is no central server therefore the speed is affected in this way. You need to look at your ISP (Internet service provider). It is possible that they can be throttling your speed for bittorrent as it is mainly used for software piracy and, according to ToS of some providers, they are greatly against that. 
     
    How can you get a stable internet? - RJ45 ethernet cable preferrably cat 5e due to your speed. Nothing beats the ethernet cable as it is less prone of getting interfered from the environmental conditions. Remember, you will never get the true speed that the ISP is telling you. You sometimes may get less, or like me you may be getting more than your prescribed speed. What type of connection to your ISP are you using? ADSL? Fiber optic? ADSL works by sending data through the telephone copper cable which means that the speed is theoretically lower than ISP advertised speed due to little resistance to the environment. Fiber optic works by sending the data through thin pieces of fiber glass via total internal reflection - which results in little to no interference and therefore achieving the speed. 
     
    You also need to be looking at your router. Stock firmwares on the router are a total nightmare and are the worst things I have ever seen. I own Linksys ea6900 and after flashing it with DD-WRT third-party firmware, I'm getting super fast speeds - although flashing is not preferred for the inexperienced as there is a chance that you may brick the router in the process.

    ShoMy got a reaction from vanished in Help with GTA V   
    UPDATE
    I solved the issue by following these steps
    If you run dual core processor,which arent doing that great with V,they are probably 100% usage,try lowering the actual resolution of textures so it has a less workload,worked for me.
    If u on the other hand have more powerfull cpu but still get this glitch,just try lowering distance scalling,pop. density and variety and most importantly,give ur GTA V high priority in task manager.
     
    These are steeps that actually helped me altho i dont have powerfull computer and minimum RAM req. i think.
     
    HUGE SHOTOUT FOR PEOPLE THAT ENGADED IN THIS POST AND HELPED MY FIXING THIS ISSUE
     
    P.S I noticed glitching again,but its extremly rare,like really really rare and it renders in matter of 1/2 sec if it does happen.

    And I was floored. After hearing about this company from sponsoring LTT all this time and to find out they're truly a great company with outstanding morals was amazing. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, feel free to move it if need be. Hope we can raise awareness for this great company, and give them the respect they deserve.
