I'm meant to be on 20mb, while d/l'ing torrents got the speed shown in the screenshot. Fast or slow?

10mb after 4pm is not bad all things considered

For a torrent that's not a bad speed.

I would however blur what you've been downloading out, unless you want to show everyone ur illegal activities :p:

You cannot really judge the adequacy of your connection based on torrents. What you get will depend a lot on who and how many people are uploading, and the speeds they are allowing in upload, as well as the number of connections you allow. Fine tuning your torrent software can make a difference, balancing upload and download so neither can saturate your bandwidth.

yeah, use that site to test ur speed
best to get 2 files dlin at the same time
and look for 1.2mb/s on each rather than the full whack on 1

2pm Saturday afternoon - not capped (as in don't download), so called 20 meg line total constant d/l from gamefiles of two files totalling 200 kB/sec.

They're 'aving a laugh.........

Roll on next week and BT install.
