Slow download speed.

[zmarkoni2]

So, I went to 3 speed testing services, all of them say that I should getting 4.20 Mb/s.
But when I download through Steam, or uTorrent, I am downloading with a speed of 500 Kb/s.
I dont know why, when im downloading I am not watching any movies and I have a wired connection.
Please help me with this.

because the speed meausuring sites give the speed in Kb/s and Steam / uTorrent give the speed in KB/s so it actually works out correctly with a bit being an eight of a byte.

Torrents aren't gonna use your full download speed anyways, and you might be confusing 500KB with Kb

[Circut]

With torrents it depends on how many people are seeding, as well as games. I have about a 50 down and get about 4 mbps on most torrents

utorrent and steam are giving you your speed in KB/s so thats about right

[Archangel1994]

that 4.2 is megaBITS. megabits divided by 8 is megabytes.

Dang thats too bad, I see Americans getting 7 times bigger speed than me.

And KB/s is same as Mb/S?
