I have pretty high bandwidth and my speed test download normally clocks over ~22 mb/s but I am unable to do anything else when my downloads reach over 1 mb/s (using torrents). What's the point of getting a high bandwidth plan and being unable to use most of it. How does it work and how come I can't use my bandwidth efficiently?
Also, do isp have limit on how much you can upload/download like xxgig per month and etc?
I use Charter Cable and I lan with 2 other people though they don't use much bandwidth. I'm always the one using most of the of bandwidth.
I don't know any other information you guys should know about. Tell me if you need any other information.
I'm not using linux or gnu and I can't seem to find a windows version of wget. Is there a windows equivalent of a command prompt equivalent?
Also, I'm a newb. What is torrent throttling? – FireDragonMule – 2010-09-03T23:18:21.213
I got wget and is downloading the movie. I'm in USA and it's download ~ 500kb/s. Which I know is slower than my connection. Is there a better way? – FireDragonMule – 2010-09-03T23:42:12.573
It's a pretty accurate test. You can try a different humongous file, for example a Linux LiveCD. – digitxp – 2010-09-04T01:21:56.307
@FireDragonMule Torrent Throttling is when evil companies (e.g. Comcast) limit the speed that you can use P2P at supposedly to hinder piracy. – digitxp – 2010-09-22T02:54:04.027
