Immense potential speed, rarely achieved, over typical torrent swarms, sufficiently to max out a 100Mb connection.

This is where we came in. I am merely contending that multiple file downloads from a reliable fast server is a better way of testing your full download potential than almost any other means.

We can argue forever and a day about torrents. I swear by them for downloading content I want quickly, but not for speed testing purposes.
