Quit trying to be clever by saying 1024. I was talking about how bandwidth is advertised. Please read this:
http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=26
Check and see if your advertised bandwidth is what you’re really getting and learn how to compare different internet service providers. Your speed is controlled by your ISP so understanding how it’s advertised is key to improving and comparing it.
Yes I know you will go super fast with tons of seeds so quit whinning. Torrents with 10 - 20 people are another story. Tons of people complain their torrent downloads go slow because they’re hats and super-limit the upload rate for fear of the RIAA or their ISP provides horrible upstream rates.
Yes the bandwidth can be capped from where you’re downloading from. I’m aware of that. The game download was capped at around 450KB, but I used that as an example comparing kbps to KB/s.
At the end it’s not a mistake saying the upload speed is about as fast as you will download on p2p networks/ torrents. Torrents are based on share ratios so you’ll get as fast as you can give. As always there are exceptions specially for torrents with tons of seeds but it’s a good rule of thumb.
This is the only and definitive way of increasing your connection speed. Your ISP controls it! If it’s not going as fast as it should call your ISP’s tech support. If you want it faster, compare rates and find what’s most affordable for the speed you want. Understanding how they advertise their packages is key to knowing if you’re getting ripped off.

Comments blocked due to tons of retards that 1. thought they could just download or install something to make their connection faster. 2. don’t understand p2p networks and think torrents with thousands of seeds work the same as torrents with little seeds and 3. Complain about 1024 kB vs mB even though I was simplifying and also said 5.130kilobits = 5 mbit 4. Can’t read the description.

Dude - you are so wrong about the torrent speed thing. You do not understand it. Also, your explanation of ISPs and speeds is very misleading. Its way too much to say here but dude you should remove this video and post a more correct one. This needs a retraction as the poster is not technical enough.

Yeah, but the day someone social engineers private information out of a clueless employee of your ISP could very well be yesterday. I dont worry about hackers as much as I worry about other Phreakers and Con artists adept at getting what they want through bypassing human facilities.

awesome video. I didn’t know the difference before.
also, if i didn’t want to go to google to convert my kbps to KB’s could i just use a calculator and divide the number by 8?

in the netherlands …
in the netherlands there is a family-dsl with 20megabits per second .. so arround 2MB per second..
a usual CD (700MB) download would actually need arround 6 Minutes..
but still the downside.. 1megabit up… its good but .. these rates should be balanced because its only good for videostreams and homeservers/websites…
peace out!
mm… you’re wrong …
mm… you’re wrong about that (plus it would be more than just 24 if what you said were true)
1000kb/MB = 1kb/KB
you’re thinking of a different prefix
1024 KiB (kibibyte) = 1 MiB (mibibyte)

Also when the seed: …
Also when the seed:leech ratio is healthy, like 5:1, youll get the file really freaking fast because thats 5 seeds to 1 leecher, not to mention all the leechers who you can also download from. The main thing you should do is understand what your upload limit is, and limit your p2p upload to about 60-80% of your maximum upload. This will give room for your best download performance.
