Is there any way to speed up torrent download?

Limited download speed on Bit-torrent of 1,8 Mo/sec?

  • First of all, i must specify that i have a 15 Mo/sec connection from my ISP. Whenever i use Bit-torrent, it doesn't matter if i download 1 or 5 torrents, my download speed is always capped at 1,8 Mo/sec. Why is that? In the Bit-torrent options, i set download and upload speed at 0 (unlimited), i have a ratio of 150% by default, and all the other things that could impact my speed are set in the best possible way. I am a torrent user since a long time ago but i never found out why i can't go faster than 1,8 Mo with 15 Mo/sec connection....

  • Answer:

    1.) ISPs advertise speeds as 15 mbps whereas torrents are measured in mb/s. Bits != bytes. 2.) Speed is highly dependent on the seeders speed on that torrent.
