Awhitewookie Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 So I just moved out of my parents place to attend school (woo!). Back home my DL speed was shit, right around 5mb/sec Now my speed is just under 20mb/sec The problem is that I still download files right at 1-1.5mb/sec. Is this because my onboard network is just limiting it?

Because getting punched in the mouth hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 downloading files from where? what site? are you talking about 20 megabits per second (mbps)? or 20 megabytes per second (mBps)? a 100mbps NIC will easily handle a 20mbps connection.

Awhitewookie Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I was downloading a torrent with 5000 seeds and 1200 leech. Whenever I downloaded games from Steam or Origin at home it was the same speed. I can download another game if necessary. 20 mbps MY BUILD 1998 Ford Explorer 2dr sport 1/0 Big 3 1/0 everything Alpine cda-9884 Crescendo CZ components (2) Crescendo bc2000's (2) Jolt 150ah (2) Yellow top optimas (1) Juicebox black cherry addition (1) Mechman 270 avbm miss my bc5500 and (4) 15's You know why people are ass holes online but not in person?

Guest Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 LOL dont talk about downloading torrents bro. only legal shit. just saying. steam always maxes out my 16mbps (but i get around 2.2 megs ) easy. i only have a 100mbps NIC. so what speed are you getting on Steam with a 20mbps connection? you should be getting around 2.5mBps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awhitewookie Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Downloading from steam is 2.2 I was thinking there would be a bigger jump in dl speed from 5 to 20 on speedtest but I guess I just dont understand the topic at hand well enough to comprehend it MY BUILD 1998 Ford Explorer 2dr sport 1/0 Big 3 1/0 everything Alpine cda-9884 Crescendo CZ components (2) Crescendo bc2000's (2) Jolt 150ah (2) Yellow top optimas (1) Juicebox black cherry addition (1) Mechman 270 avbm miss my bc5500 and (4) 15's You know why people are ass holes online but not in person?

Awhitewookie Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Clearly. What I meant was: why does 5mbps = 1mbps dl on files and 20mbps = 2.2mbps dl on files?
