Hm, we'll eventually have a help section for questions such as these, so don't worry, it's in the right place for now. ^^

But you must have your speed settings messed up somehow.

Also, what client are you using? Please don't tell me BitTorrent. =/

You are GOING to get slow speeds there. It's inevitable.

I've got 10Mbit effective line, so I can get 1200kb/s.
When I download from my friends FTP, I get ~500kb/s average.
Torrents vary from 30 to 500kb/s usually..
So it doesn't take long for me to download stuff.

Mine is about 30kb/s min and about 700kb/s max.
Depends on what country you're in.

depends all on the seeders and your connection usually. the more seeders, the faster the dl is.
and the best Bittorrent client to use is Bitcomet. (for me anyways) very easy to use, and has many options and features.

Make sure you do some research and have all the appropriate ports open, if your using a router or any kind of firewall/virus protection thats defnitaly going to slow your DL's. I use bitcomet and get the same averages they've mentioned already but usually i just leave it on overnight and check in the morning and most are done! :)

2 to 600kbs but depends on how many ppl are seeding the file that i want. on average if the file has good seeders it usually takes me around 40 minutes to get a file thats 300 mbs

XD I love how everyone uses these smilies

My minimum usually is 5 kbps, my max is around 765kbps. Multi torrent, my speed reduces to 600 kbps distributed across.

Most of the time it depends on seeds though.

:abandoned: I wish I had 1200 :(

:sohappy: Oh well. I'm better than someone :O

my maximum download speed is 100 kb. :tears:

and my maximum upload speed is 20kb. :abandoned:

this BIG difference between download speed and upload speed is normal in brazilian ADSL... :nowai:

I guess, I am the member that have the most slow download/upload speed in this forum... :...:

but I am very happy with my download speed. I am able to download 2GB per day, downloading 7 hour per day, I guess. :whisper:

Then , I can download one hentai game per day ( a game with 2 GB) XD

Ugh. I'm so jealous of some people here...

For almost all downloads I average between 100kbs to 300 kpbs. Sometimes it just dies in the ass and I have to try again later, mind you.
:frozen:

It depends on how healthy the torrent is though, of course. If I'm lucky enough to start downloaded when a torrent's in its prime then I've clocked it at slightly over 700kbps.
:beautiful:

This, of course, is a rarity... :why:

PS: Since when did we get these icons? BEST. ICONS. EVER!!!
