That's pretty darn slow. I'm at 8mb. What is Comcast's advertised speed?

6mb

www.speakeasy.net is always reliable.

just a point of order here, any site that registers "speed" is never dead on. the best way to use them is to let them test your connection and use that first test as a baseline. Then on subsequent tests compare the results. Obviously there is a problem is you're supposed to get say 8Mb and you get 3, but overall don't get overly concerned with a 1-2Mb/s variance.

Yeah, that's a good site. That's the second one I use

I get results on this site consistent with the two others. Between 3.5 and 4 mg

Download that is

That's good.

Happens to me too Vinuneuro. Is it a big drop in dl speed? How many files are being downloaded and what is your total dl speed?

For every packet you receive your BTclient has to send out an "OK got it" before the next packet is sent out. So if you are using up most of your bandwidth on the dl side and then browsing around using up the rest of it you'll end up in a never ending queue with your torrent client constantly waiting for a ping! slowing the whole process down.

Hope this answers your question.
