Sign up with GoogleIt seems like a stupid question, but I am not sure...
All of the below is on my 256 MyWireless package
Using Bittorrent I get speeds between 1KB and 3KB total, no matter how many torrents are open or how well they are seeded. I have changed every possible variable I could, speeds do not go higher than 3KB. This is pathetic.
Shareaza / Kazaa - about 4KB. Bad.
On a normal, single thread download from an HTTP server, I get 5-8KB. This is also bad.
Speed tests report 4KB. BAD.
But on a multi thread download ( using Getright / Flashget ), I get 20-28KB. This is great.
So the question is, do I have a speed problem? If I leave my torrets running all night and only manage to download 8MB in 6 hours, it sure feels like it. But then I pull down a file at a blazing 28KB and I am happy again.
What do I do? Is there any way to speeds the torrents up? Is Sentech doing traffic prioritization? There is also this weird problem that if a torrent is open my entire connection slows down to a crawl, no matter what I do. I don't want to phone helpdesk and bitch about my speeds if I can max my bandwidth out in certain conditions. I suppose I could just avoid the torrents, but the problem is that I mostly use them. It is only rarely that I can find what I want sitting on a server somewhere.
