poofer2612 Posted June 12, 2005 CID Share Posted June 12, 2005 The Download test gave me these results: Connection is:: 1514 Kbps about 1.5 Mbps (tested with 1496 kB) Download Speed is:: 185 kB/s but When i actually download something, most of the time it only downloads at 12 to 40 kB/s. Is there any reason it would do this?

netmasta Posted June 12, 2005 CID Share Posted June 12, 2005 Welcome to the forums, poofer2612 There a number of reasons on why you can only download at 40Kb. Not all sites will give you the same download speeds. It could be your route to that server or the number of people downloading from the site at a certain time. You should read the topics below to get started. https://testmy.net/forum/t-2097 https://testmy.net/forum/t-3924 Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/5316-my-actual-download-speed-is-much-slower-than-what-the-test-says-it-is/#findComment-54854 Share on other sites More sharing options...
