Gib4500 Posted March 30, 2005 CID Share Posted March 30, 2005 i have slow speeds on speedtests. i get about 1400Kb down. Now when i download on p2p sites i can get close to 4mb down. this doesn't make any sense. my advertised speed by the way is up to 4mb down. i just can't understand why all the speed tests show my speed to be 1400kb down. there is however one speed test which shows my speed as being 3.8mb down it is http://speedtest.oceanic.com/ however people have told me that site isn't accurate. maybe someone can figure this one out.

peepnklown Posted March 30, 2005 CID Share Posted March 30, 2005 It might be a couple of factors. The site could be bogged down by other people testing at the same time. Internet congestion could be slowing things down. Have you tweaked your settings yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gib4500 Posted March 30, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 30, 2005 yea i have tweaked and the speed tests never go above 1.5mb. however on p2p sites i can download over 400KB. just doesn't make any sense. on download.com and internet sites i can only get 1.5mb, but on the p2p networks is when i can download a lot faster.

php Posted April 3, 2005 CID Share Posted April 3, 2005 u might be downloading inflated files (i heard .s1 mention this recently...) something like, the file is smaller than what it says, so it says you are downloading more than you actually are.
