Re: AT&T=Bellsouth Speed Throttling with uTorrent??
if your upload is near max, then your speedtest results will suffer because the testing server has to wait for replies from your PC that tell it it received the data, and those replies just get put in line with the data you are uploading.
another factor would be that you have 6M service. if you are using 3M with utorrent, then the speedtest could never get better than 3M (3+3=6). there are many other factors that affect this on top of the fluctuations in torrent speeds and the max connections you can have, so i would suspect that this is all expected behaviour. |

I've had no speed problems using uTorrent. Internet speed tests are always inaccurate, because you are connecting to a volitile network, with a volitile connection.
Nice Airwolf, Slackware! More of a man than I, I love my SuSE. |

As I remember from the FastAccess test page, as well as other speed test pages, they all tell you not to use your internet connection during the testing.
If uTorrent is using up most of your band width, your test will show just what is not being used by uTorreent, or any other download.

Let me clarify. I am referring to the general Internet download speeds measured by speed.fastaccess.com, not my torrent download speeds.
5.8 Mbits down to 180Kbits, effecting all programs, not just uTorrent. |
