Can I make it faster?

[r4dv1s]

So on speedtest.net i get these result:  and on torrent i get download speed max up to 11 mb/s. So can i make it faster on torrent? cause one guy uses same internet almost everything the same and he gets on speedtest.net 60/60 mb/s , and on torrent 30-40 mb/s. So is it possible or not? Hard drive can write up to 150 mb/s ........

depends on seeds, aka if the other people seeding only adds upto 2 mbps, you can't do much about it.

that is your speed...

 

11MBytes/s (not bits)

 

93/8 = 11.6 MBytes

Torrent speed is entirely dependant on seeds , so your connection shouldn't make a difference.

depends on the seeds on the torrent

amh what i am downloading, for me it's enough 500 seeds to get that speed, but i download torrent with 2000 seeds, SAME.

torrents are weird. If all 500 seeds have a good connection , they will be faster than 2000 seeds with a shitty connection.

So there isn't anyway to make it faster?

It's something i wanted to understand,  your download speed relys on the number of peers seeding that torrent right ?

Amh, how could I say it. my max speed gets when any torrent has 500 seeds, above it won't change at all. so...

from what i know , yes , but also which ones are active and their individual connection speed, but i am not 100% sure

On origin i get 11 mb/s and on steam 10 mb/s.

For me, noticed Steam downloads much faster than Origin

You are confusing MB and Mb.

 

1MB (MegaBYTE) is equal to 1Mb (MegaBIT).

 

So if you are downloading at 11MB/s from a torrent that is equal to 88Mbps which is fairly close to what Speedtest is reporting so you are getting your normal speed.

What client do you use to download? There could be settings in the client to increase performance. Also, you could look where you are seeding from. If latency is high, you could use a VPN to redirect your traffic. If you got a encrypted VPN, this would also protect you.... assuming you aren't downloading Linux distros.

There's 4 different issues that you could be having here, the first three have been briefly touched on above.

 

1. The peers you are leaching from have slow uploads - there isn't much you can do but find a better seed file.
2. Your router is limiting download speed - this is normally caused by incorrect port forwarding.
3. your ISP is throttling you - I suggest changing the default ports to non standard ones. This is an issue I personally have - during the day, anything i try to download is throttled to 10mbps whereas beyond 1am it's full steam ahead at 90mbps
4. Finally, are you getting confused between Megabyte (MB) and megabit(Mb). 1 MB = 8Mb
